The south shore has some 3-4 ft waves today but its a little onshore. The North shore is maybe a foot. Last week Haleiwa was fun ! There were 5 ft sets and it was good to surf some over head waves again. Summer is coming and the country hasn't been good lately but we should get a couple more swells before it goes flat.
サウスショアは弱冠オンショア吹いていたものの3−4ft。ノースは1ftくらい。先週はハレイワは5ftで遊べたけど夏がきたから最近コンディションよくないね。でもフラットになる前に波乗り楽しんできたよ。

Ben Aipa was out at Haleiwa. Here he is scoping for sets.
ハレイワでベンアイパがセットを狙ってる。

There's been alot of " VOG " coming here from the big island lately. It comes with the southwest winds and is really back for people with asthma. This picture from my house is a vog day.
ここしばらくビッグアイランド方面からVOGが飛んで来てアレルギーになる人もいる。
下の写真はVOGがないときで、比べて見るとすごいのが解るでしょ!

Clear day ! Check out the difference !

Check out the Laniakea zoo. This is the reason there is so much traffic on the weekends ! Cars backed up for miles ! I remember back when we use to go and feed the turtles seaweed with no one around. Those were the days ! I hope someone does something about this because one day somebody is going to get runned over crossing the street !
これが天然の動物園とでも言うのかな。名付けてラニアケア動物園。おかげで週末は周辺道路が激込みだ!みんなウミガメに海藻をあげてた。道を渡れない程なんでなんとかして欲しいけど。

Thanks to Hirotaka Asakawa for these photos of Chisan and Kabocha in Chigasaki. Looks like the first typhoon was really good. I used to surfed there alot when I lived in Chigasaki. Kabocha was a good wave until they made a breaker. That was it and it never breaks the same.
アラカワさん写真送ってくれてありがとう!上が茅ヶ崎のチサンで下がカボチャ。台風1号は良かったみたいだね。昔茅ヶ崎に住んでいたころはよく入ったなー。カボチャはすごく良かったけど消波ブロックできてからはダメみたいだね。

Kabocha !

Congratulations to Nick for getting 3rd at the Gotcha G-land Pro in Ibaragi !! He's off to a solid start and said his new boards are going real good ! Look forward to seeing more good results from him throughout the year !
茨城で開催されたGotcha D-land CUPでニックが3番になったよ!良いスターと切ったね。ニックいわく、ニューボードの調子が相当いいみたい。今年はもっといい結果が期待できそうだね!

ヤングと松本ファミリーで!

Surfed Chun's with Kai. Waves are really small now , 1 to 1 1/2 ft. Town is also almost flat.
Pretty windy with no swells in sight. Summer is coming !!
カイとチャンズリーフでサーフィンしたけど1から1.5ftと波が小さい過ぎた。タウンはフラット。ちょっぴりウィンディーでスモールウェーブ。夏が来たって感じだね!


The waves weren't good but it was sunny, water was clean and fish swimming all over the reef. Wish I had a spear gun !!
波は良くないけど天気は最高で水も透き通ってリーフの至る所で魚が泳いでる。銛を持ってきたら良かったね。


Went surfing at Chun's reef with my friend Yoshinori Kotake. Waves were about 1-2 ft and we had a fun time. He's was riding his " Stub" and said this was the best session he had in Hawaii so far because he caught so many waves ! He's also a famous cap designer and you can find his caps at Murasaki sports and fine stores throughout Japan.
友達のコタケヨシノリとチャンズリーフにサーフィンしに行ってきた。1−2ftのファンウェーブで、彼はStubモデルに乗った。たくさん波取れるから、彼は今までで一番良いセッションだったって!彼は有名な帽子のデザイナーで、ムラサキスポーツなんかで彼のデザインした帽子沢山売ってるよ!

PEACE !!
ピース!


The set's were about 2ft. Sunny and clean !!
セットは2ftくらいで、天気もよく面はクリーン!

Saw Francis Palea again ripping !
フランシスはリップ決めてた!

After that we went to Kua Aina for lunch.
セッションの後Kus Ainaでランチ。

Kai was with us and could hardly fit the sandwich in his mouth !
カイも一緒にランチ。口いっぱいにサンドイッチを無理矢理押し込んでる!


Went surfing with Nick the other day at big rights. Waves were good when it came, about 3 ft plus sets but it was sooo inconsistant. Too bad because it wasn't even crowded.
この前でかいライトのポイントでニックとサーフィンしてきたよ。入った時はセットで3ftチョイあって良かったんだけど、すぐに波数少なくなっちゃった。空いていただけに残念!

Nick again. I didn't get any good pics because the wait was long inbetween sets I wanted to surf and get more waves !
数少ない波に沢山乗りたかったから、あまり写真撮ってる暇はなかった。

Nick slash !
スラッシュ決めるニック!

Don't know this guy but he got a couple good ones.
誰かしらないけど良い波乗ってたな。

This is Laniakea yesterday. Solid 4 ft and and really fun with lots of waves. The South Shore was still breaking and bigger than the other day but still not too many waves.
これは昨日のラニアケア。ソリッドな4ftで波数もあって本当にファンウェーブだった。サウスはまだ波あるけどこの前に比べてさらに波数減った感じ。

My friend Donald Del Carmen called me and told me laniakea was good. Stoked because it was worth it ! Mahalo !!
友達のドナルドがラニアケアが良いって教えてくれたんだ。すごく感謝してる。ありがとう!

Here's how big the sets were and this guy ready to take it on the head !
このセットはでかかったね。写真の彼は喰らわないように気をつけて!
