i was watching the live video feed of pipeline yesterday afternoon and evening. it’s amazing where we are in technology as i sit in my living room watching the sunset setting in town and country simultaneously. this is pipeline, oahu. beautiful!!!!

ok, is this a mistake? or is this on purpose. somebody speared a baby hawaiian monk seal in the head. if caught, you will go to jail for a long time. these precious monk seals are protected and people are still eating them. sad.

6 months ago, i asked a guy to do some work on my boat. i paid him a lot of money to do a professional job because i was just too busy. instead, he did a amateur job on my baby. how? he didn’t sand before he fiberglassed the pvc pipe that holds my motor cables. after a few dives, the fiberglass peeled right off. i was pissed! look at this photo.
so what should i do? ask him to redo it? i don’t think so. why? because an amateur is an amateur. i was looking for a professional for the past few months but couldn’t trust anyone. then last week, i remembered i have a good friend that fixes my surfboards. Daisuke is the best surfboard repair guy i’ve ever met and fixes my boards all the time. i call him, he takes a look, and tells me, “i never fixed a boat before.” i told him “hey, if you can fix a surfboard, you can fix a boat.” yesterday morning on the way to work i drop off my boat. and on the way home in the evening, i pick it up. a perfect job by a perfect man. thank you Daisuke for fixing my baby. you have great talent!

A Flock of Seagulls.
Good morning 6:15am.
North shore 8-10′ and GOOD! Pipeline GOING OFF AGAIN!
South shore knee/waist high and clean.
Light trade winds at 10mph becoming stronger this afternoon.
Perfect sunny weather.
I’m going surfing!
Have a wonderful day!

the waves were coming up all day long. from 3′ in the morning to 15′ in the evening. a perfect day on the north shore of hawaii.

pipe this afternoon about 8′.

i was in a huge barrel at the car wash. haha. had to take care of business today.

it’s been a while since the waves were good so everybody was on it. look how crowded pipe was during lunch time. crazy!

like i said, i was taking care of business. luckily i worked at a gas station when i was 16 years old so i know how to fix a flat tire, and also know how to break into anybody’s car. haha.

this evening pipe at 15′ second reef.
tomorrow will be even bigger than today. then bigger on sunday. big waves all week with off shore winds. welcome to the north shore winter season 2013!
