Diving Saiko!!!

good morning. 5:15 am. buoy 1 is 14 feet 15 seconds.
good news: big west north/west swell coming.
bad news: onshore winds.
here’s what i think. wanna surf? go early to mokuleia or haleiwa before it gets too big. wanna dive? today is the perfect day on the east side. what a tough decision i have to make so early in the morning. haha. can you believe i’ve been leaving in the dark, and coming home in the dark since new years? and can you believe i haven’t touched a drop of alcohol since the new year? not even a smell of beer? i didn’t think that life gets better and better. i feel great!!!
eat healthy, exercise, and maximize your days. that’s the key to a happy life…. [:?????$B!x(B???:]
