good morning. 5am here on this tuesday morning. south swell up. see a lot of white wash at the park so i’m guessing solid 3′ with bigger sets. no winds so perfect conditions. nobody out. well, i’m guessing that too because it’s still pitch dark. hope to be the first one in the water today. i’m out of here…. have a nice day…. oh, north shore came up too. lani’s looks pretty solid. wow, waves around the island again. best summer for north and south swells? yup… pure stoke…
wow…. can you believe go-naminori makes 2 years today? gosh, it feels so weird because it seems like we just started this not too long ago. well, 2 years isn’t that long but all the things that happened along the way happened so fast. the millions of hits, the numerous experiences, the positive vibe, and all the friends made through this website. all i have to say is “AWESOME”… some people tell me that i’m nuts to update my blog so often. in the beginning, i thought i was nuts too. but now, i really like doing it. i like to show people the wonderful life i have and the awesome friends around me. been getting so many emails from people checking the website everyday so that drives me to do more and more. i just wish i had more time…. anyway, this year we have big plans and hope to take go-naminori up another level. stay tuned…. and wanted to thank all the people around the world checking us out. yeah, been getting hits from people in australia, europe, america, bali, philippines, and a lot of third world countries. thank you, arigato gozaimasu, salamat, terima kasih, and mahalo….. and to everyone involved in go-naminori, thanks for the support and for the hard work. you guys are the best….

**and last. went for a short town session with jun jo last week. the waves were small but good enough. hawaii wa ichiban….

good evening. wow!!! how were the waves today? epic!!! i drove all around this morning checking everywhere. everywhere was going off so it was hard to choose a spot…

diamond head was as good as it gets. 4′ with perfect conditions at cliffs, right hands, and light house…. sheet glass conditions…

so i’m sitting on the top of diamond head looking everywhere. seen a peak off in the distance peeling perfect like a right point. drove down there, ran down the hill, and surfed that place pretty dam good. solid 4′ with sheet glass conditions. the water was crystal clear, the skies were blue, and everybody looked stoked. i’m glad i didn’t surf the past 3 days because i felt super hungry for waves today. it felt unreal riding good waves….
**nobody predicted this swell today so i’m going ahead and posting a HIGH SURF ADVISORY for the south shores of all islands. haha.. how’s me, i make like i’m guy hagi.. haha… it’s been a long time since i seen the waves come up right in front of my eyes…. tomorrow same thing, go-naminori….[:?????$B!x(B???:][:?????$B!x(B???:][:?????$B!x(B???:]
**and last, i finally got a chance to film swimming with the dolphins. i was lucky enough to have my camera so i took this video clip. so to all my friends who didn’t believe me all these years. BELIEVE… i do this all the time and that’s the reason why i’m such a happy guy…. enjoy…

good morning. 7am monday morning. i just looked outside my house and couldn’t believe how perfect the weather is. deep blue sky with zero clouds. wow…. got some waves around the island too. chest high waves in town, not too many guys out. seen 8 guys out at bowls and not too many at the park. surfed out? yeah… north shore got some small lines coming in. small now but supposed to get 5′ tomorrow. the conditions? perfect sheet glass. just like mentawai. i’m going to get a session in before it gets too hot. have a nice day….
