good evening. another long day that started early in the morning at ala moana park. the waves were 2-4′ and pretty fun….

seth, kalana, and josh up and early for today’s photo session….

when you see the moniz van pull up to a spot near you, run away. haha.. the groms take over everywhere they go. and gosh, i give my sister credit for supporting the kids every single day…

isaiah moniz isn’t my little nephew anymore. he’s become a fine young man. girls, you better run away…..

there is a surf spot on the south shore which name i will keep secret. from the beach, the waves look really fun and clean. looks like you can go out there and do anything on a wave you want. BUT, it’s just not that. it’s the hardest and most frustrating wave in hawaii. BUT, after you see the photos, you’ll be glad you paddled out. like every season for the past 20 years, i felt like a beginner today. i just can’t figure that spot out. but what made me happy was sitting at the peak with 3 of my nephews talking story and trading waves. that’s like a dream come true for any uncle. and to see them ripping made me proud. i can’t wait to go on an indo boat trip with them someday. anyway, wanted to thank kondo-san for shooting all of us. can’t wait to see the photos….

10AM HAWAIIAN SOUTH SHORE PHOTO SHOOT.

good morning. i was on the internet for a long time yesterday looking for a camera. i need a small one to keep on me so i won’t ever miss the shot. i always have my cel phone but the image quality is very low. good enough for the internet, but not good for print. i’m kind of confused because every body is telling me to get different types of cameras. i just want the best one with a reasonable price. and something that shoots RAW images. HELP!!! please give me information…. thanks..

a friend told me that i should buy this one. after he explained why, i decided that this is the one for me. but wait!!! i didn’t know this cost $6,000???? shit, that’s more than my car’s worth…. no way man….
**ok, now here is the surf report for friday. it’s 5:45am now and the waves are looking good. town is in the 3-4′ range with clean conditions. it’s not that crowded and there are waves everywhere. the trade winds are supposed to return so hopefully we have off shore conditions all day long. there is even a small north swell. laniakea is small but the conditions are epic!! looks like a perfect point right. oh wait, i just seen a big set break at bowls. i have to go. go-surfing!!! hope you have a nice day!!!
