good morning. 5 am and small waves again. i’m jet lagged. haha. it feels like dinner time. but it’s ok, i’ll just go cook a steak right now. going for a surf, then a surf again, then a surf again. tomorrow is the big rip curl grom search so i’m going to see how the groms are practicing at kewalos. i’ll probably paddle out and drop in on a few of them. i just have the make sure they know how to respect their elders. if they kick out behind me, i’ll never drop in on them again. if they make a mad face, i’ll drop in on them again. and if they say “hey, hey, hey,” i’ll drop in on them forever. haha… the kids must learn that nobody gives a shit who they are when they are traveling around the world. and if i have to teach them that, i will. why? because that’s how i learned….
i heard from a friend that kaori-chan went diving. so i checked her blog. i was sooo stoked for her. but yet, i was jealous. haha. i want to dive soooo bad….

“give somebody a fish, they will eat for a day. teach somebody how to fish, they will eat for a lifetime.” ever heard of that saying? and the cool thing is all you need is fins, a mask, and a spear. go-kaori-chan!!!

this is called an ishidai. these fish are like gold!! they don’t eat bait so you can’t fish for them. the only way to catch them is in a net, which to me is cheating. or to go into their world and out smart them. if you know how these fish act in their environment, you will know how to catch them. kaori-chan knows and now she can catch dinner when ever she feels like it. to me, that’s awesome…. i’m super proud of her and i’m sure kyle is too…

START OCTOBER 31, 2010!!!!

good evening. small waves today and everybody is saying that this has been the worst summer ever. not for me. i think differently. if you can surf everyday like we can in hawaii, your lucky. all you have to do is think positively. it could be worst! GO-NAMINORI!!!!

hey akudo-san, where is this? nice photo and nice lineup shot… it looks familiar but i can’t figure it out. is this ibaraki?

and there’s clams there too??? oh my gosh!!! ikitai!! i want some of those clams for my barbecue and miso soup!!!

and last, hey mike from seattle. i promise i will never ever complain about it being onshore or cold here in hawaii. sorry dude…. keep on surfing!!!

and last, maybe i better not get a bicycle? imagine me getting in the way of these aggressive triathletes and causing an accident like this? that would ruin the surfers image even more. can you imagine me with my $99 wall mart bike racing in the front, then my tire pops, then i take down 50 serious triathletes that trained all their life for the event? that would be in the newspaper front headlines reading “Surfer ruins Dreams of many….” haha…
