it was just last week when i went to canoe surf down in waikiki with the moniz boys. like always, had a blast with the family. i’m so fortunate to have such great kids in the family. that’s Josh Moniz in the front.

then today, i watched Josh dominate his first round heat in the world championship in Nicaragua. if it’s barreling, i will put all my money on Josh and Seth Moniz because those kids are the best at barrels. i’m hoping either of them win the contest and bringing home the gold medal. and after watching this ISA online today, it made me want to go to Nicaragua. next chance, i’m there!
well, have the next 3 days off so don’t expect to see me here on oahu. have a great evening!

Standard California.
Thank you Akudo-san!

my friends have the coolest lifestyles. take Hikaru for example, she just built her dream house in chiba. on top of the green mountain overlooking the waves. everything built top quality and designed perfectly. seeing my friends living their dreams makes me feel like i’m living in mine. happiness is the key to success and the more happy people, the more success! congratulations Hikaru on your beautiful house.

and this hammock with a view. i’m definitely going to take a nap there next time.

Fujiki-san is a really nice guy. so kind, so caring, and so polite. i always have a great time surfing with him. shaka Fujiki-san!

once in a while, Team INA and i go surfing different spots. why? to better ourselves. each spot has different waves, different winds, different currents, and different locals. we learn new things everyday and that’s the fun part of surfing. step by step to become a better surfer. if you don’t go, you don’t know!

sometimes i see some pretty classic cars in hawaii. this one is classic.

ok, now over 40 people in america got hepatitis A from eating the frozen berries from costco. including 5 people in hawaii. what happened was a farmer in turkey didn’t wipe his butt after he went to the bathroom, then returned to work picking berries with dirty hands. then a batch of berries got contaminated and nobody knows which batch. so if you eat these delicious berries, you might, or might not get hepatitis. how do you know? you will start showing symptoms a few months later. and is hepatitis curable? no! OMG!
