Surfed early this morning before the crowd came out.
Was pretty fun.
Everyone got a little barrel… Till the crowd came.
Oh well..
This photo is HILARIOUS!
Shohei did it first, then I wanted to try.
So funny!
We went to grind some Waialua Bakery.
Shimada is always funny and making everyone laugh!
After a bite to eat, we went to check the waves.
I ran into my boy, Travis Hashimoto.
Trav pretty much runs the T&C Surf Factory.
He’s a very, very, very good surfer and National Amateur Champ.
I really think Trav had the talent to be a pro but didn’t get lucky with the backing.
It’s all good though… We had lots of fun doing some JPSA’s and back in the day HASA events.
We would talk so much trash to each other and only do the event if the other one was doing it.
Haha…
Good stuff.

After meeting Trav, we surfed Haleiwa.
I got to see Sunny Garcia and thank him for giving me his spot at the Maili Pt. Volcom Comp.
He’s definitely a hero.
I really look up to the way he surfs.
Surfed with Dustin Cuizon, Trav Tominaga, Shohei, Sayuri, Matty Liu, Allen Wickland, Craig Sugihara, Derek Wong…
Yup, you could say there was a lot of guys out. Haha..
Pretty fun though.
After all that we were tired and went to Town.
Stoked!
I got to watch the UFC 109 (like the previous post says)!
Check out this DEEP, DEEP DARCE by Paulo Tiago!
Gnarly!
And lastly, here’s a photo from my Uncle Lance…
Sumo Live!
Awesome!

Tomorrow, should be fun.
Everyone will be watching football and hopefully I’ll get a few waves at… some spot.

I like this place! I love the idea and wish there was a place like this in Astoria, Queens. I am a surfer and found a “real surfer bar” in Point Break NYC. I am kinda jealous ;0PIts filled with surfers, people who like surfers, people who like the beach and people who don’t want to live close to town. I really like this place. You know what they have these real Proctor and Channel One surfboards on the wall. It’s nice for coming any day of the week and eating a late brunch. The food was outstanding. The brunch and sides were prefect and tasty. It is a perfect “escape” from city living. It is probably one of the only places where you can get a nice frozen pina colada or margarita. The service was on hit. They came up and checked on us so many times and made sure everything was up to par. It gets very active and the bartenders keep everybody having a good time. The bartender was very accommodating. He was nice enough to make a drink, that wasn’t on the menu, for me :0) Did I mention the bartenders are nice eye candy. It was amazing to see their “das boot” which is shaped like a boot filled with beer. Don’t get me wrong, I am not drunk…it’s an actual boot shaped beer container ready to be emptied. Try it ..You will love it!! Oh. How can I forget, they even have a wheel o’ shots where you just have to spin it and have to drink whatever shot it lands on!! Now call that bar creativity at its best!!! And when I spill a tray full of shots on myself, the bartender so kindly remakes them for me? Good music, too, and the decor helped us weather an otherwise overcast and rainy day. You know that old song “Brandy”? It goes, “Brandy, you’re a fine girl, what a good wife you would be. But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea.” I believe Brandy works here. No reason, I just do. And that song happens to be a guilty pleasure of mine, so that’s a plus in my book. You can simply waltz over to this colorful and warm establishment, enjoy some drinks with friends, and walk home. The bar is right at the center, so you can walk to either side for drinks, and the bartenders are friendly and at your service. There is a variety of seating, good music, and friendly neighborhood people to make your time more enjoyable. Not pretentious, very cozy, I think Point Break is a fabulous place to spend some time with friends.
