Dive Day!

Windy week but nice to dive!  So decided to head out with Kirby, Josh, Seth and Kekoa for some filming for HSDTV.

Passed to see how my new boat was coming along, ha ha!  There was 3 boats on top of this yacht.

Seth got this nice yellow spot!  This kid is going to be world champ one day!

Solid Swell

Solid 12 ft. swell today up north.  Got big fast with some bombs!  Saw this young girl and her sister playing with the sand and luckily they were not swept away.

Tomorrow should be big also so bust out the guns and surf safe!

Creatures from the deep

Wow what a beautiful day!  Like Martin Luther King said, "FREE AT LAST!"  That's what it feels like when we ride the Red Sea Boat!

Late start but enjoyed the view!

How's this creature Al got in the deep!

Mix bag of steamers.  Mahalos to Jon, Cat, Al, and two old crows for all their help today!  

Happy Birthday Mom!

Wishing our mom, Earline aka "mama crow"Nakamoto a very happy birthday!  She's the backbone to our family and works so hard always behind the scenes getting it done!  We love you very much and appreciate all you do!

Waves been pumping this week so got a chance to ride the bigger boards!  Stay safe out there everyone!  Cold front coming through the island so expect some wet weather soon with breezy winds for 2nd half of the week.  

Surf Check!

Waves have been fun this winter and our morning routing is to find the best spot on the island and get some exercise.  Here my surf partners Rick, Randy, Bryant and Wade on the surf check.

Seen an amazing sunrise this morning as well which made it even more special.

Kagami Dinner

Had a fun dinner with the Kagami ohana this weekend with more ono grinds.  Was nice to finally get together with them and talk about family and fishing.  Something we all share in common.

Even 3 month old Noah was ready for some poke and sashimi!  Mama Jaime got her fill of fish too.

Of course grandpa crow had to try and feed um, ha ha!  Thanks to the Kagami and Miyasato family for a fabulous dinner and their friendship.  

Tokoro Surfboards Shoot

Finally got to test our new Red Sea Dry Box.  Works like a charm…Good sun today so one more day and we are ready for the NFL playoff pupu hour?  

Photo shoot today with Tokoro Surfboards.  Wade holding up the Seth Moniz model.

World champion Gabriel Medinas board.

Nice looking shots taken from Bryant!  See you in the lineup tomorrow!

Coral snake board

One of the most venomous snakes in the world, the Coral Snake.  Hmm wonder if sharks would deter from this snake design?  

Will test it out on the new 5'7 tokoro board coming soon!  

Yukiko Tokoro is the artist at Tokoro Surfboards and does amazing work.  Better get your board orders in soon!

Fishing 2019

First trip out fishing for 2019.  Big Al was finally able to join us again after a busy holiday.  Al had to work the night before and was up for 36 hours this day.  Thats a hardcore fisherman!

Crew Cat also on board backing us up for the strike.

It was a very calm quiet day but we managed to find dinner.

Some fresh Akule for dinner.  Fry Akule is so ono!

Along with some Akus and Otaru for sashimi.  Can't wait to use our dry box!  Keep you posted!

Pretty big one…Mahalos to the Red Sea Crew for all their help at the dock, on the water, cleaning, cooking...

Sandbar shots

Always enjoy this view going into the ocean.

Life of Kai?  Dream BIG! The skies and seas the limit!

Pry Peesh!

Boys getting ready for their back to school jam so got in a quick dive fix in!  Brandon is back to college and Kai and Maika are back to high and middle school.  They got some nice ones today!  Went to the sandbar after to clean fish and we beat the crowd in at the wash rack.

Came home turned on the stove and pried up da peesh! It was so good!  

Project Pau!

Nice to see my cousin Terry and her family (Kevin, Alan, and Jeff) in town.  We got to spend some time with them eating, eating and eating..Here we are at Tianos in Waipahooo eating the pilipino pood. 

Finally finished making our Red Sea dry box.  This double decker box is custom made and lots of long hours, blood, sweat put into this one.  Hope it last forever!

As you can see it is ready for drying, now we just gotta go get some fish…to dry!
