good evening. wow, what a great day for surfing this morning. i checked some spots and seen some perfect conditions. a nice south/west swell, a nice north swell, and waves all over the island. these are the kind of days the crowd thins out and these are the kind of days everybody is happy.
well, it’s been 4 nights since i left okinawa and i haven’t had one sip of alcohol since. i’ve been feeling lively and super energetic from the time my eyes open. surfing, working out, moving around, shopping, computer, and much more. just been getting so many things done. i realize i am 100% more productive when i don’t drink alcohol the night before. but once i see my friends, the beers go down easy. haha.

had a super fun day with Mr. and Mrs. Fujisawa today. both from Kagawa in
Shikoku. it was their first time surfing so my goal is for them to stand up on their very first wave. both did so and i could see how happy they were by the smile on their faces. welcome to surfing, and welcome to blue hawaii!

surf, then eat some vietnam pho, then some waiola shave ice, then take a nap. can’t beat that right?

recently i’ve been asked by friends to change their batteries. if you send it to nixon in america, it takes a long time and a lot of money. if you bring it to me, i do it for free. once a friend of mine changed my battery for free so i’m doing the same thing. remember “pay it forward?” i do.

done! if i opened a mobile battery changing shop, i’d be rich! haha.
anyway, glad to be back home. been super busy with millions of things to do but i like it. moving and keeping busy is my life. just can’t stop! now i’m going computer hunting. why? because this one is 6 years old and can’t keep up with me. time to turn her in.
have a wonderful evening.

i was driving around kapiolani park the other day and seen something cool. this guy on a skateboard using a pole to move. it was pretty cool.

he was actually going pretty fast. i bet this is great practice for stand up paddling.

when i tell my japanese friends that waikiki is dangerous, they don’t believe me at all. they walk around late at night, they leave their valuables in the car, and they think it’s safe like japan. well, the honolulu police reports don’t lie. check out this report of District 6, which is only part of waikiki. 82 crimes committed from 9/11/12 to 9/24/12. yes, only 13 days.

if you think you or your life and valuables are safe, think again.

no, i’m not trying to scare you. i’m just trying to educate you. it happens everyday and i’d hate to see it happens to my friends. lock your doors, don’t keep valuables in the car, and watch your back. and to all my female japanese friends that walk through kapiolani park late at night, please don’t. call a taxi instead. you wouldn’t believe what happens at that park late at night. i don’t even want to walk around there. everybody be safe!
