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. ALOHA
