good morning. 5 am and seems to be a nice south swell rolling in. it’s still dark outside but feel like surfing! so i’m going surfing!!! see you in the water…

i went down to hang out at waikiki again yesterday. i’m starting to love it down there!!!

this is the royal hawaiian hotel looking down from a sheraton hotel suite. that’s a big banyan tree in the front with a lot of birds dropping shit on everything and everyone that walks under it….

here at go-naminori, we always want to try and take on new things. for the past 4 years, so many people have requested more bikini photos and fashion articles. now, we’re making it happen. summer is coming up and check out the line of new bikini’s on these hawaiian professional models. i was the lucky photographer on this photo shoot and my camera kept on fogging up. haha… i had a great time with these girls. all nice, sexy, and sweet…. check out the magazine for the rest!!!

good morning. oh, i mean good evening. i scored this morning!! paddled out to bowls expecting it to be packed because of the new swell. i was wrong. it was 3′, not too crowded, consistent, and perfect!!! i was so happy and got so many good waves. i’m glad i stayed back in hawaii for these extra days. tomorrow should be bigger and better. gosh, should i just cancel my japan trip? haha. no way…
it was good to see wade tokoro out there. i told wade, “hey wade, check out vol. 3 cause you have a sick photo in there.” i hope he likes this….

i pulled up one early north shore winter day. the waves were 8-10′ and big! i had my camera because i wanted to take a photo for my blog. as i approach the beach, i see this huge backdoor wave coming in and i was thinking “wow, it’s big and dangerous. then i see a backsider guy take off and pull into the biggest barrel.” it was wade tokoro!!! for those of you who don’t know, wade rips. as he took off on a 2′ wave this morning on mick fanning’s used surfboard, egan inoue and i were watching him do 5 off the lips throwing big spray. i look at egan and say, “can you believe that same guy pulls into 12′ pipeline barrels deeper than anybody?” wade’s the man!!! later, wade and i were talking about his recent japan trip. he loves japan, the food, and the people. someday he wishes to surf a perfect river mouth and if that someday comes, i hope i’m there….

i was over at my sisters house the other day and her neighbor let me attack her mango tree. so attack is what i did. i got a nice big bag of big mangos… so sweet….

there is a little sandbar island that pops up on low tide at this secret beach. i bet you don’t know where it is? come next full moon low tide, i’ll be out there with my cooler, barbecue grill, and beach chairs… and no, it’s not kaneohe bay… guess again…

last, is this gen? i was looking through some old photos and this kid looks like gen. how’s that face? that’s what you call “determination”…..
