SUP in Dubai.
Good morning 6am.
North shore chest high. Lanikea best. North swell building to 6′ by tonight.
South shore waist high. South swell building tomorrow into the week.
Trade winds are back! 15mph out of the North/East.
Rainbows are back! Sun, clouds, and rainbows!
Plan is surf.
Have a wonderful day!

the waves this past few weeks have been absolutely perfect. you couldn’t ask for better conditions, especially at diamond head. heard from a few local friends that diamond head has been the best in over 10 years. i agree. everyday i pass by and think to myself “OMG!”

i had a great time surfing with this wonderful couple. Hiro-kun and Ako-chan surfed for their first time today. they stood up on their first wave and surfed good all morning. i was so happy to share the moment with them.

then i took them to a few of my secret beautiful places in honolulu. i call this “the green hill.”

OMG, the yen reached 100 yen per $1USD yesterday!!! i knew it was going to happen sooner than later. if i was a rich man 2 years ago, i would have invested 90% of all my money into buying dollars when it was 75 yen per dollar. so if i invested $1M, i would have a profit of $250,000! OMG! a 25% ROI or Rate of Return is huge! but no, i wasn’t a rich man 2 years ago so i just have to sit back and watch the rich men getting richer.
what does this yen/dollar exchange rate mean? well, japan is much cheaper for americans to visit. japanese products like toyota and sony are much cheaper. america is expensive for japanese now, especially hawaii. so japanese will spend more money in japan and on japanese products. americans will spend more money on japanese products. this is good news for the japanese economy. for me, this doesn’t affect my lifestyle because the yen/dollar rate doesn’t affect the waves. if there’s waves, i’m a happy man! but i would be happier if i made $250,000 in 2 years. haha!

Aloha Abe-san and Yuta-kun! I hope you had a great time in Hawaii. I had fun surfing with you and had a great time with your family for lunch. I really respect your strength and courage! Take care in Ishinomaki. We Are One!

Good surfing Yuta-kun!!! Hope to see you again.

Nice riding Abe-san! Thank you again and thank your wife for the Sendai Shirou. It’s bringing me a fortune of happiness! Mahalo from Hawaii.
