Da Hui Beach Clean Up and Kahuku High Girls Water Polo Team Fundraiser!


Today was 5th Annual Da Hui Beach Clean Up. It was moved to this weekend since the weather was horrible last weekend. It is the Hawaii's the biggest beach clean up and there were tons of people at V-land park 8 in the morning.

It is so big, they clean the whole North Shore. People with truck and vans take people to the beach they are cleaning. Here's Makua Rothman taking people in his truck.

I'm always amazed at how kids are always willing to get involved with great events like this one. when i was a kid i think all i wanted to do on saturday morning was to stay in my pj and watch cartoons on tv. ha ha.








Great job kids! and thank you for keeping our beaches clean!

Jun Jo from In4Mation and Aloha Army was there early with his kid too. i know Jun is like me and doesn't get much sleep. i bet he got like an hour of sleep the night before.

Mr. Ambassador of Aloha, Jason Shibata. He's always at these events with his big smile early in the morning.

There were many other adults there too and i want to thank them for being there being great role models to the kids.

after the clean up, there were food, prizes, live entertainments, etc. Thank you Da Hui for putting this event every year! i know it's not easy and involves lot of work. thanks Da Hui and all the sponsors!

oh, and Sally (Fitzgibbons) showed up with Sister!
Welcome back Sally!

Everyone picked up rubbish, now time for fun. kids took off with my camera and came back with some fun shots!

i think Heidi and Bailey were hungry.


yes, i ruined this "could've been a nice photo" for Bailey.


not sure what they were going for but looks fun. ha ha.

Had a great time at the clean up but i had to head back to town. :(

on my way back i saw a car wash for Kahuku High School Girls Water Polo Team Fundraiser and Kahaulelio sisters were waving signs yelling "Kaz!! you need a car wash!!". How can i say no to that! Specially since my car hasn't been washed since Sally and Sister washed it for me in August. (wow, i guess i change the oil more often than washing my car! ha ha)
Teamwork! no more bird sh!t paint job! i forgot my car was blue... i thought it was dirt color. ha ha.

this is either Kahea or Nohea Kahaulelio... sorry but i still can't tell the twins apart.

Free human wash with a car wash purchase! what a deal! ha ha.

I guess since Hawaii is so broke lot of funds for sports' been cut to almost nothing. it was nice to see these kids working hard to raise money for the team. Thanks girls for my clean wagon!

their fundraiser made me think on my drive back to town. How can Hawaii save money and support these kids?

i think i know how to save Hawaii some money and put back to schools! I spend average of $300 on gas a month. that's $3,600 a year. I've heard police gets free gas specially if they drive their own cars on and off duty. i'm assuming there's gotta be like 300 police getting free gas right now from tax payers in Hawaii.

look, i just saved state of Hawaii $1,080,000 (one million eighty thousand) a year!! and the best part is, this solution won't affect police work. Just those cops who's been getting free gas from us, tax payers, have to start buying their own gas LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE!

now schools can have that money!! what do you think? should i start a petition?

Before i go, this is one of many things i love about north shore. kids can ride their bikes everywhere!
Just ride safe boys and girl! (and not make funny face at me while riding, Bailey! ha ha)

Had another great day here in Hawaii! the weather was great, people were great, and only if public schools got enough money from the government this place can be perfect! ha ha.

See you all tomorrow!


Kahuku high water polo team fund raiser.

It's going on till 2 pm. Come get your car washed at sunset beach
Christian church!

Sally's here!!

Fitted, Homer in Bones?!?!, and Sister's growing up


i stopped by FITTED this evening for a BBQ and and check out the new black wall. it's dark in this photo but the black wall outside looks super nice. it fits FITTED's sick image really well. if you haven't been to the shop, make sure you check them out. they got the sickest limited edition hats (most of the time with Hawaii theme) you can only get from FITTED. if you aren't here in Hawaii, they have an online store too. www.FittedHawaii.com

I try not to watch tv too much, that's why i only have 2 channels on my tv... no cable, just an old fashion bunny ears (now with a digital converter). but i do watch tv programs online here and there on hulu.com. (this way i can just watch one show and stop unlike real tv where i'd just watch for hours)

One of my favorite shows to watch is Bones. if you haven't seen it before, you should check it out. i was watching an episode yesterday and look what i found in the background!
X-ray image of Homer Simpson on the monitor! and look how small his brain is. ha ha. i was tripping out because Bones is not a comedy show but sneaking in Homer in the background! i like the show even more now!

tomorrow is Da Hui beach clean up, Kamehameha Surfers Give Back sample sale, and HSA contest at Maili Point. I wish i can be at 3 different places at the same time but i can't... try to find me! ha ha.

THIS JUST IN!! I just found out Sister "Kelia" Moniz got her drivers license! 1st try! so stoked for her. she must've had a really good teacher! Remember her when she was just starting to drive with her permit? check out these videos from March this year. Ha ha.






Congrats Sister! now come pick me up! ha ha.

Alana Balnchard, Aloha Army, and a must attend event!


Alana Blanchard won the Vans Hawaiian Pro at Haleiwa! I couldn't be there in person since i had things i had to do but i was watching the contest on my computer today. Alana was surfing really good. she was finding some nice waves all day hacking away. Congrats Alana!

I got new gears today from Aloha Army!
I can't thank Aloha Army enough for helping me out since Novus Swell was just an idea in my head. please support these guys who support Novus Swell! www.AlohaArmy.com

This coming Monday, 23rd, ASP International and Hawaii's head ASP judges are having an impromptu judging forum at Sunset Beach Recreation Center at 7pm!

This event will be an amazing opportunity for everyone who competes to better understand how surfing judging works. "impromptu" means no planned so come with questions to ask otherwise we will be just sitting there looking at each other in silence. ha ha

i know everyone wonders how judges are scoring time to time, like how you got a 5 and the other guy got a 5.5 even tho you did 3 turns and the other guy just did 2 turns.

this is going to be the perfect time to ask those questions and better understand how judging works in surfing.

i'll see you guys there!

I'd been yelling out how amazing I AM!

It's amazing how kids get better at surfing so fast. I was at Kewalos today and here's the grom who impressed me the most today.

Vincent Starn! He took off on a set wave (must've been double overhead for him) and went straight up for a sick snap and another and another! I was so stoked for him! Vincent is super humble tho, when i went up to him to tell him how sick his ride was, he just smiled and said "thank you". if that was me, i'd been yelling out how amazing i am!! ha ha.


40th Annual Haleiwa International Open (the longest running amateur contest in the WORLD) got the entry form out on the site now! go to www.HIOHawaii.com!

Don't just print the above image, i think it's too small so make sure you go to their site and print one from the official site!

This year, the event will run from Dec. 21st to Jan. 4th. Join their Facebook or check out Jason Shibata (Bats) blog for updates!

I saw this bumper sticker today while i was driving and i thought it was so funny.

"Jerry's DEAD, Phish SUCKS, GET A JOB!"
you know who you are! so go get a job!! ha ha.
