good evening. i met everybody down at kewalo’s this morning for a photo shoot and the waves were pretty fun. solid 3′ and perfect lefts. local guy chang was out surfing and i asked him “wow, how’s the summer so far?”… and this is what he said “i freakin cannot believe it”….. yeah, this is the best summer by far….

i’m borrowing mike woo’s board for this photo shoot because i don’t have any small boards that are in one piece. mikes new model is so dam light that i had to put car wheel weights on the nose to keep it in balance. and it worked super good….

photographer kondo-san was shooting us. us was me, shuji kasuya, mito, teppei tajima, jason shibata, and others…. it was cool to have a super session like that. it’s been a while for me…. i hope we all got some shots….

for lunch, it was my secret thai plate lunch shop. do you know where this is? probably not…

$5.90 for a yellow chicken curry plate with sticky rice. cheap yeah? it was so good……

1pm waikiki. perfect weather. waves chest/shoulder and fun!!!!

good morning. 5:30am tuesday morning. another south swell today and on thursday. i seen some solid 3′ sets at bowls and the park with epic conditions. no wind making the waves perfect. there are only 4 guys out not at bowls. gosh, i wish i got up earlier…. i have a photo shoot from now so i’m out of here. have a nice day!!!

i was driving through a back road yesterday in town and seen something pretty amazing. yup, a huge mango tree loaded with lots of red ripe mangos. i actually stopped my car to take a better look….

look closely. i’ve been living in hawaii my whole life and haven’t seen a mango tree with this many ripe mangos. 20 years ago, i’d probably just take a few without asking. 10 years ago, i’d probably knock in the guys door and ask him for some. today, i’ll just go to the supermarket and buy some. i guess i’m getting more mature with age. haha…. or maybe tomorrow i will dress up as a young kid and steal some? haha… i would tell you where it is but i know that somebody will go there and steal some at night. gosh, my mouth was watering just looking at it…..
