Hurricane Passes

Hurricane Douglas looking like its falling apart and it shears north of Oahu.   Hopefully Kauai is spared also.  We were prepared and got our essentials all taped down. 

Hurricane Douglas

The calm before the storm.  Conditions were nice today so had to take advantage of the sun to film with Merlinda Garma.  Been monitoring this Hurricane Douglas over a week now and knew today was our only chance to film.

Tomorrow will be a different story as Hurricane approaches our islands.  Rain, wind and big east swell on the way so take some to secure your homes and be prepared for a level 1 or tropical storm to create some damage to our islands.  Forecasters saying it will veer north but probably go closest to Kauai's Na Pali Coast.  Hope you all stay safe and secure.

Waterman in the making

Been busy editing another HSDTV episode, this time working with Keaka Ching and Chris Paglinawan.  Both of them have regular day jobs but they love the ocean.  Every chance they have you can find these two hammahs doing their thing. They have been so supportive and we are looking forward to the next show premiering Aug. 4th at 7:30 pm.

The calm before the storm.  Tropical storm Douglas should be approaching the state on Sunday and effects probably be on Monday here on Oahu.  

My nephew Maika is always game to dive but this time it was to fish.  We were proud to see him growing up into the man of the sea.  Everyone goes through growing pains and that's what it takes to become a true waterman.  Sometimes life doesn't' throw you diamonds and apples but charcoal and bananas…So putting in your time and paying your dues is all apart of the process.  Maika, keep your mind strong and focused on your dream!  You will succeed! 

Ahi Action

Got a chance to run my red stick and winds were up so why not?  Go fishing!  We got to the grounds and had a knock down on the rigger.  It was a good one and got it to the boat in 20 minutes after a hard fight.  

Another fun day of fishing for the Red Sea Crew.  Mahalo to everyone for helping as usual.   Until next time!

Double Rainbow

Where there is no rain, there are no rainbows!  We are lucky to live Hawaii where we see these so often.  Swells been dropping lately but we were lucky to find a few diamonds in the ruff.  Not much in the forecast so great time to get things done!  

Red Stick

You heard of a green stick used for fishing?  Well I made a red stick!  Its 20 ft. long and made from a 10 ft ulna pole and 10 ft pvc pipe reinforced.  This will allow my team to have more layout options depending on the condition of the sea.  Hope to get some fish on it soon.  Will see how it performs.

Kai's been getting the surf bug!  Went out for a evening session the other day and he got some nice ones.
