Paradise

Just another beautiful day on Oahu. Went out to Hawaii Kai and took the boat out to Turtles and had a little surf session,pretty fun 1 to 3 ft. My girl and Marshman pulled out the fishing poles and hooked a bunch of fishes. Great day that ended with this sunset.

VIVA LAS VEGAS

just got back from Vegas, as always it was a hell of a time!! We ate at the Best. First night in town we headed to Nobu @ the HArd Rock and had our menu down by Chef Justin..INCREDIABLE . the Lobster shichimi with truffles was like CRACK..Then we headed over to YELLOWTAIL @ Bellaggio another memorable nite indeed. My good buddy Chef Akira showed us how its done. Ahi pizza,lobster,tai,KOBE 3 different ways,WALU and the list goes on.the last night we had to have good ole "in and out burgers" and a show at the MGM "KA" which was amazing as well. We ended up having some late nite food in Henderson with Akira and Tina . Fried macaroni and cheese with jalapenos and nachos meatloaf sliders come on are you kidding me..unreal..oh yeah we partied and got kicked out of Moon during our ROOM101 and CAMACHO cigars party by Matt Booth which went off the hook!!

Ron House Lightning Bolt

pretty cool super clean Bolt! shaped by Ron House at the "Waimea Surf Shop" when some of the Bolt shapers took off and started shaping out of a little room at room,according to RR. Ron is still shaping boards, doing Lairds standups and other boards.

This is one of the regulars at SANDY's taking a nap,resting up before Felicia arrives.

the real north shore grinds

Two of my favorite spots to eat on the North shore AOKI's and SHIGE's saimin.. although Shige's is located in Waihiawa it still counts. As for AOKI's to me is way better than the other shop. The only way to eat shave ice is in the shade as my girl does so well...haha! back of the car in the trunk kauai style
