good evening, wow, went to check the waves this morning at ala moana and it was crazy crowded! hundreds of surfers, and thousands of cars. no parking and light winds so Watanabe-san and i went to check out my secret spot 20 minutes away. lots of parking, and only 5 surfers out at this perfect right and left. then it was 3 guys, then everybody went in and it was only us. the waves were super fun! i was so happy to be back at a surf spot where i learned how to surf. and was happy to have been able to share it with Watanabe-san.

then we ate lunch at the best mexican restaurant in hawaii. i love it here! thank you Watanabe-san for a super fun day surfing and eating. hope you have a safe trip back to Guam and please tell my longtime friend Fred Mandiola i said hello! keep on shooting and keep on living the great life you have.

my favorite enchilada plate with green sauce. $10.95 and very good amigo!
anyway, hope you all enjoyed this wonderful independence day!

Light house head high and going off!!!

when i was arriving to the coast of molokai, i was super excited to go back a hundred years. that trip was one to remember. just simple, just slow, just relaxing, and just so peaceful.

then as we left, i was telling myself “i have to come back here! it makes me just feel so much better and makes me realize that there is so much of old hawaii left untouched.” then yesterday, i get some great news “i’m going to molokai soon!!!” something to look forward to and i’m so excited even thinking about it!!!!

i wanted to welcome Team Inaida-san back to hawaii. we had a great surf session yesterday. the waves were perfect and so was the weather. i learn a lot from this very wise man. i learn that i have to work harder, give my 100%, and never look back. then i can live the ultimate dream life Inaida-san is living. so in 10 years, i’ll retire, i’ll live in a multi-million dollar mansion on the beach, and i’ll take care of all the important people around me. i’ll do my best from today to make this ultimate dream come true!

Yuki-san always smiling, always happy, always caring, and always so kind. there’s nothing more you can ask in a person.
so here is my advise for the day. work hard. live your dream. go for it. and never look back!
