Wow!

i take lots of people surfing in hawaii. before i paddle out, i always tell them that they can ride in front of me. yeah, my wave is their wave and i’ll give them any wave i get. but sometimes people think that it’s ok to ride in front of anybody. well, not here in hawaii. riding in front of somebody or “dropping in” is not a good thing to do. if you’re lucky, the guy might tell you to go in. if you’re unlucky, the guy might punch you a couple of times. i hear about it and see it a lot of times. it’s just part of mannerism here in hawaii and other places around the world. or also known as a rule. if you surf with me, i’ll give you all my waves. but if you don’t surf with me, please be careful. this spot in the photo is kewalo’s, one of the most localized spots on the island. if you paddle out there and drop in, please don’t tell anybody you know me. you’re on your own.

hey Aya-chan, i’m glad you got your shells in the mail. take care and keep on smiling!

and Michiko-san, glad you got your shells too. congratulations on your marriage! see you september in hawaii. hope we get some good waves again!

remember my chick Pepper? well, went back to the mountain to see how Salt and Pepper was doing and only Pepper showed up. Salt was the male that made noise and was the reason why they both had to go. anyway, since Salt left Pepper, Pepper got to come back home. now it will be a month or so till get some fresh eggs. as for Salt, he probably got a girlfriend and left poor Pepper. that’s no loyalty man.

ok, the gallery should be up soon but i’ve been too busy. here is a sneak peak of Tomoyuki surfing Typhoon 10. this was the small day, big day coming!

go-naminori official blogger Kairi Noro is ripping! every time i see him, his level is getting better and better. it’s unbelievable that i once had to push this kid into waves at kewalo’s. future japan champ? i think so! CLICK HERE FOR KAIRI NORO OFFICIAL GO-NAMINORI BLOG.

then there’s another go-naminori official blogger Rikio Higa down there in Okinawa scoring good waves. good too see Rikio ripping. i knew this guy for a while and had some pretty awesome okinawan memories with him and the boys. can’t wait to see them next month.

i miss riding my bike from the Beach Hotel to the sunabe seawall. go for a quick evening surf, watch the sunset, drink some orion beers, and then get started for the long night. always fun, and always mensore down in okinawa. just keep the snake sake away from me. big party in sept!!!!
