good morning. waves are pretty much flat around the island. wish i could go diving again but got too many things to do. calm winds so if you can find a knee high wave, it will be perfect. i know where one and i’m going to check it out…. have a nice day…

this is the tuna kyle speared yesterday. possible state record but just have to wait to see. and yes, this was on the east side of oahu yesterday. and yes, you don’t see fish like this everyday in hawaii. and yes, i really want to spear one too…. and yes, after i took this photo with kyle’s olympus underwater camera, i’m really missing mine…

this is what i caught yesterday. one for sashimi, one for the steamer, and one for a friend…. fresh fish=happiness. bye the way, that omilu freaking bent my shaft. i speared him right behind the head and thought it was a kill shot. but he ran into a hole and bent my $70 shaft. so that’s a pretty dam expensive fish. i’ll be thinking about it when i’m eating his sashimi, then grilling his head and collar…. ummmm….

wanted to congratulate photographer nakajima-san again on his new baby boy. and wanted to thank nakajima-san for sending me typhoon 2 photos from japan yesterday. and wanted to thank nakajima-san for making me really jealous….

i mean, really jealous. gosh, i wish i was there….

good evening. went to the east side for an all day dive. the water was clean, the waves were small, and the fish were out….. i caught a pretty good size omilu, a nice moana’kali, and some uhu’s and stuff. but the catch of the day was from kyle nakamoto. he was chumming the water and this school of tuna’s came in. he took aim with his little 100cm gun, took the shot, and landed a nice 18.2lbs tuna. might be a state record. stay tuned….

the billabong pro in tahiti finally started today. not the biggest, but good enough. one major upset. world champion mick fanning out! he lost in the second round. kelly slater on fire again. when is that guy going to quit? didn’t he retire 2 times already?
**for those of you who are still sending me emails about the ear rings alyssa made, i already sent it out to the first person who asked for it. sorry….

good morning. 5:45am and i didn’t get up early to surf small waves. i got up early to dive. no wind, small waves, clean water. i’m out of here…. have a nice day. oh, as for the waves. like i said, small. bowls is flat. well, maybe knee high. diamond head came way down too. knee/waist high. 5 guys out at the park and nobody out at rockpiles or bowls. grab a mask and check out the underwater world….

i took the naito family from chigasaki surfing last sunday. i had a really fun time with a really nice family. thank you yoshihiko-san, miho-san, and keito. hope you enjoyed your stay in hawaii. keep on surfing….

since i came back from thailand, i went to champa thai restaurant twice. but you know what, it’s all good. i’ll go there every night if i’m having a good time with my good friends. team hiroshima, kinsan, maki, and yukari-san…. thanks for the great time guys and gals….

we were one of the first to get there, and the last to leave…. why would you want to leave when your eating with these cool chicks. and drinking steinlager pure’s….. oh shit, it’s 6:15am already, i got to get going…. just saw a set at bowls. 20 inches and 3 guys are already on it. see ya….
