3 times to vegas is enough for me. i had lots of fun on every trip, but after coming back home this time, i realized that i’m not a gambler so vegas isn’t the place for me. if there was a perfect point right break in front of the Bellagio Hotel, then that would be different. i enjoy the ocean, i enjoy the fresh air, and i enjoy the tropical weather. and that’s why i love hawaii.

this was the biggest limo i’ve ever seen!

after the fight, i was walking on the main strip and came across these 2 cool mexican guys. one was cheering for Mayweather, the other was cheering for Cotto. that 30 minute conversation of us talking about the fight was one of the funniest ever. these are 2 cool brothers!

right after i got out of the water today at bowls, i saw sunny garcia getting ready to go out. it’s always good to see sunny, but not good to surf with him. he told me “hey, let’s go back out and surf.” i told him, “no, not with you.” then he said, “yeah, i’m in a greedy mode now.” meaning, he will catch ever single wave that comes in. sunny and i go back over 20 years. we use to hang out in roppongi and had some pretty crazy nights. we still laugh at things we use to do in japan. if you don’t know who this guy is, Sunny Garcia is only 1 of 2 world champions from hawaii. yes, world champion! go-sunny!
by the way, had 2 great surf sessions today at bowls. good to see Warren from Wakayama. good to surf with you mate. it feels good to be back in the ocean! i’m surfing every day till i leave for japan, bali, and mentawai! have a wonderful evening!

Thank you Toda-san an Takami-san!

when i was a teenager, i use to work at a gas station. i learned and mastered how to open locked car doors. if you locked your key in your car, i could open it in 1 minute. i have the tool in my car and have used it over and over. but these days, technology is getting better and the old way of opening locked doors doesn’t work on the new cars. so what do you do? i just bought the up to date car unlocking kit. so now, i can open any car out there. i keep this in my car so when i see people locked out of their car, i go open it. no, it’s not my business, it’s just my free service because i like doing things like this. so if you lock your keys in your car, don’t spend $50 to have it unlocked. just call me. well, that’s if you know my phone number. haha.

after coming home from this past trip, i realized how beautiful hawaii is. and i also learned how clean the air is. it’s been paradise every single day.

another paradise country is the maldives. i will never forget swimming with the huge whale sharks. it’s nature at its best and i enjoyed this moment.
