hey Goki-san, hope you had a great time in hawaii. i’m so happy to see you surfing so good! keep nara, keep hawaii, and keep on surfing!

hey Tabuchi-san, it was nice to meet you and your family in hawaii. tell you wife and daughters i said hello. take care and keep on surfing. hope to see you in shikoku.

hey Takei-san, i hope you enjoyed the heaviest local spot on the south shore. good surf, good memory, and good smile.

oh, and good rainbow!

i couldn’t go to the north shore to watch the volcom pipe pro so i had to watch it online. i was so proud of my nephew Joshua Moniz in the mainstream media. of all the moniz brothers, Joshua is the quietest. but once he rides a wave, he’s the man. power and grace! good job Josh!

family support is huge in a kids life. my brother in law Tony Moniz and my sister are down at the beach every day supporting their kids. i think that’s priceless. and i hope the kids realize how much their parents love them.

16 years old? omg! Joshua is still making his name in the world of surfing. i’m so proud of these kids!
