Surf Forecast


Biggest swells of the year expected to arrive in Hawaii midweek and the spectators are wondering if the eddie will go? The unruly winds will be the deciding factor and I think it may be poor conditions. There will be some spots that will be epic so if you know where to look you will score! As you can see the active pattern in the north pacific is pumping and surf season is in full swing. Time to find that perfect wave!

Excess luggage

Time to start packing for our next red sea ocean adventure! I'm always struggling to make the allowable luggage but just gotta make it all fit.

HSDTV 5th Annual Mexican Shootout


So many people ask why don't you put yourself on the HSDTV show? I tell them because I am usually behind the camera filming someone else and its more rewarding to see others having their dreams come true. Well on next months show I've decided to put a quick clip of me in the show of a striped marlin I speared in La Paz. After I speared this fish, it made a couple of turns on me as I held my gun in front of me as it swam for me. My partner James hid behind the buoys and then it took off for a mile before I was able to catch up to it and put a second shot in. It was an experience I will never forget. Premiers Feb. 7th at 8:30 pm on OC16. Enjoy!

Japan and Okinawa in Hawaii

Wakayma + Okinawa + Hawaii were in the house for a reunion bbq party. We are so thankful for our many friends around the world who open up their homes, hearts, and have us be a part of their lives. These friends have been so generous to my family and friends these past years and we were so happy to have them visit our back yard this time.
We had an awesome spread of the best of best poke, sashimi, cajun style to start things off.

Then another whole spread of dishes that took everyone 3 servings each to put a dent in. Here our friend Hayato Maki was on plate no. 2. Now its time to work out and start burning off some calories.
