good morning. 6:45 am sunday morning. waves finally backed down in town. waist/chest high sets at places like bowls and diamond head. pretty clean conditions. 8 guys out at rockpiles, 18 out at bowls, and 50 or so at the park. the suns out already so it’s going to be another hot day. probably head down to kewalo’s and surf with the groms. have a nice day…

big news everybody. garut won the quiksilver open down at lakey peak, sumbawa. he blew up and took down everybody, including “bol” for the win. way to go garut….

ok, want to go to the biggest best craziest fun water party in the world? if you missed it yesterday, so now you have to wait till next year. yeah, every 4th of july rock band plumpus heads out on a boat and jams live rock music right in the middle of the ocean. i think it’s called the “floatilla” and it’s been going the past 3 years. i’ve seen this thing growing and growing. 3x as many people as last year. it was pretty nuts…. see that boat to the left? to the left, to the left[:????$B”L(B?:][:????$B”L(B?:] that’s my friend brandon’s boat. and both the lead singers in plumpus are my surf friends. put everybody together, you have a full on blast….

the beers were flowing, and the vibe was awesome. i didn’t know people could dance on top of surfboards. now i know….

not that i think about it, there must have been a hundred boats, 200 surfboards, 400 rafts, and 3000 beers flowing. sickest party i’ve ever went to….

and all you guys out there probably want to know if there were chicks there right? yeah, half naked girls all over the place. i’d say more girls than guys. gosh, i took some pretty cool video clips so stay tuned youtube…. what a freakin awesome party. much more pics coming up. hope to see you there next year… you’ll be a fool to miss it…

good morning. what a 4th of july holiday it was yesterday. it all started in the morning when i left my house to go surf. no cars on the road. this is busy kaimuki with only me. it’s probably the first time i had that street to myself….

then i pull up to diamond where the waves were going off!!! fun surf with the other 60 guys i counted….

then the next thing i remembered was to pick up my boat i left in the water at ala wai yacht club. big dock with little boat.. haha.. but someday it will all change…
*in between, all kinds of cool stuff with cool photos. went to watch my friends band jam in the middle of the ocean at waikiki. shit, maybe 300+ people having a blast. then the fireworks lastnight? oh my gosh. paradise baby… stay tuned for photos…. have a nice day…
