THIS IS A PICTURE OF JON MOZO AT PIPELINE AS A MEMORIAL. HE PASSED AWAY OUT AT PIPELINE IN 2005. I WAS ACTUALLY SURFING THAT MORNING AND IT WAS A REALLY GOOD DAY OUT THERE. I WENT IN AND STRAIGHT TO WORK AND WHEN I GOT TO WORK I HEARD THE NEWS ABOUT JON. MY HEART SANK! I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT MY FRIEND HAD PASSED AWAY AND I WAS JUST THERE!

I REMEMBER JON MOZO GROWING UP SURFING ONE OF MY FAVORITE EAST SIDE SPOTS. I WOULD ALWAYS SEE HIM RIPPING THIS PLACE AND HE WOULD BE WITH A COUPLE OF THE BOYS FROM THE AREA. HE WAS VERY HUMBLE AND QUIET IN THE WATER. I DID SOME WORK WITH JON AND HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND GOOD AT WHAT HE DID.

ANYWAY AS YOU MAY KNOW HE HAD BECOME A WELL KNOWN OCEAN PHOTOGRAPHER AND HIS WORK WAS ALL OVER THE ISLANDS AND PROBABLY THE WORLD. PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER HIM BY HIS BEAUTIFUL PHOTO’S BUT I WILL REMEMBER HIM AS A HUMBLE, GENEROUS, KIND AND ONE OF THE MOST NICEST HUMAN BEINGS I’VE MET! JON GAVE THE MEANING OF THE ALOHA SPIRIT!

P.S. PLEASE CHECK OUT HIS WEB SITE http://www.jonmozo.com/

HERE IS THE LATEST ADDITION TO THE FAMILY. SHE JUST SHOWED UP ONE DAY AND SHE MUST BE ABOUT 5 POUNDS. THESE PIGLET’S WILL GET UPWARD OF 500 POUNDS! MISS PIGGY RUNS AROUND ALL DAY LONG LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO SNACK ON. ALOHA

YOU SEE THE BOARDS IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK ARE ALL BROKEN, BUT BRADAH IS PLANNING TO RECYCLE BY FIXING THE BOARDS. BETTER IN THE WATER THAN THE DUMP! MALAMA AINA!

THIS IS A PICTURE OF OUR TRIP TO AUSTRALIA AND WE ARE GOING OVER THE ROCKERS FOR THE BLANKS THAT WE ARE GETTING. WE HAVE THE ROCKERS CUSTOM MADE SO THAT THE BOARDS ARE STRONGER. WE HAVE CUSTOM ROCKERS FOR DIFFERENT DESIGNS AND SIZES OF BLANKS. WE MAKE THE EXTRA EFFORT TO MAKE HIGH QUALITY BOARDS.

ALOHA,
THIS IS UNCLE GIVING THE MESSAGE TO THE KEIKI OF KAHALU’U. HIS MESSAGE IS MALAMA AINA. IT MEANS TO TAKE CARE OF THE LAND SO THE THE LAND CAN TAKE CARE OF US. YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF THE LAND BY RECYCLING, PICKING UP TRASH(OPALA) AND SHIFTING ORGANIC WAY OF LIFE.

THE CHILDREN WERE REALLY HAPPY AND EXITED TO HEAR ABOUT MALAMA AINA!

P.S. CHECK OUT THE TI LEAF IN THE FRONT. MANA KA AINA (POWER FROM THE LAND)

THIS IS YUKINORI HE IS FROM JAPAN AND HE IS A STUDENT HERE. WHEN HE HAS FREE TIME HE COMES TO HELP OUT WITH THE BOARDS. HE IS A REALLY NICE GUY AND VERY HELPFUL. HIS STOMPING GROUNDS IS IN TOWN AND IF YOU SEE SOME JAPANESE GUY KILLING IT AT ALAMOANA BEACH PARK IT MAY BE HIM!

I NEVER GET TIRED OF LOOKING AT THE BEAUTY THAT GOD HAS CREATED! I’M SO THANKFUL FOR A NEW DAY AND THAT WE ALL CAN HAVE A NEW START. THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE SUNRISE ON THE EASTSIDE AND IT JUST REMINDS ME OF HOW BLESSED WE ARE TO BE ALIVE.

IT SAD WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 32 VICTIMS AT VIRGINIA TECH. REMEMBER THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES IN YOUR PRAYERS. IT’S A SHAME THAT GUNS ARE READILY AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE AND IT’S UNFORTUNATE THAT SOME HAVE BAD INTENTIONS. WE SHOULD ALL KEEP IN MIND THAT LIFE HERE IS VERY SHORT AND WE SHOULD BE POSITIVE AND MAKE THE MOST OF THE MOMENT. ALOHA

HELLO
IT’S COOL TO SEE SURFERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. THESE GUYS FROM ITALY CAME BY TO BUY SOME BOARDS TO TAKE BACK HOME. EVERY SURFER HAS THE SAME STOKE WHEN HE OR SHE IS IN THE WATER AND RIDING A WAVE. IT’S NICE TO MEET PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD AND HAVE A SURFING IN COMMON. THIS IS NILS ASTROLOGO AND HIS BUDDY LUCA CASANA. LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE ENJOYING THEIR STAY HERE IN THE ISLANDS.
