good morning. 6:15 am and the waves are HUGE!!! i can see out at waimea bay and it looks bigger than the eddie aikau contest. i swear i can see solid 20′ plus sets breaking. it’s kind of dark but when you can see white wash breaking across the bay, it’s HUGE!! in town, there’s still a little south swell. waist/chest high sets. nobody out at bowls yet. well, it’s going to be another HUGE day for surfing in hawaii. have a safe and good one!!!

WOW! BIG WAVES COMING!!!!

last night was a blast. holli, candace, john, russ, bobby and i got together for a semi-annual get together. food, drinks, fun, laughs, taxi’s, clubs, fireworks, and a whole lot more. there was only 6 of us but seemed like 100 of people having fun in a huge penthouse overlooking waikiki. with this group, there’s never a dull moment..

i’ve been off island most of last year and missed on a lot of fun with my friends. so last night was pretty memorable because we didn’t just get together small time, we got together big time!!! 2 bedroom penthouse suite? check out the view!!! clams, fish, sashimi, tako, oysters, steak, chicken, drinks, drinks, and drinks. we had enough food and drinks to feed hundreds of people….

the clams were amazing. we all have eaten at the best restaurants in the world but agreed that last nights steamed clams was by far, the best!!! thanks candace for all the love put into the clam making…

remember, this was a party for only 6 people. and this is only 1/10th of the alcohol. holli, thanks for the hangover…

i hate gambling. i never gamble and don’t want too. holli had a restroom break so i took her place. i started winning and was feeling good. next thing you know, i lost all the money in my pocket. i was bummed… but watching bobby almost lose his BMW, i didn’t feel too bad. haha… thanks russ for taking all our money….

BFF means “Best Friends Forever.” we are all one star that will be shining forever!!!
i feel like the luckiest person in the world because i have so many best friends. you can’t buy friends, you can’t rent friends, and you can’t steal friends. friends are there for you no matter what. the ups, and the downs, and everything between. i just want to say to every friend i have in this world, THANK YOU (DOOMO ARIGATO GOZAIMASU). i owe it all to you for making me the happy person i am today!!![:?????$B!x(B???:]
