i had a great time surfing with Ura-san in hawaii. a super cool guy with great talent. been surfing for not that long but has great technique, strength, and focus. trained by Naohisa Ogawa in japan. solid surfers!
then Ura-san in japan photo by Dave. i’m still am blown away how everybody has some connection with everybody in some way. that’s Go-Naminori style!
ok, it’s been 3 years and i didn’t forget anything about our dream mentawai boat trip. we had the best riders, best media, and best time. a trip produced by go-naminori that will go down in the history of japanese travel surfing. why? because the waves were the best that mentawai could offer. check out Rikiya Kitada’s clip. enjoy!

From Waikiki to Central America
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!
