Practice at Kewalos - Link to live Japan news - How can I help Japan Earthquake Relief Effort?

I went to Kewalos to see who'e practicing for NSSA Regionals today. The ocean was still moving in weird directions but not as bad ad yesterday.

When i got there, Nicole Brueggemann just came in so i gave her some fries.

Devin Brueggemann came in after a while to switch boards to try out his new board. Devin wouldn't stop dancing so i ended up getting this weird photo. ha ha.
I went out for a session with Nicole and Devin. When we paddled out, there weren't many people out but Noa and Malia Mizuno and Keanu Asing came out while we were surfing.

Noa wanted to do a bet. If you know me, you know i'm always up to bet! We decided on $2 bet, Noa gets 5 waves and he needs to do a reverse, which he's been working on lately.

well... i lost. Noa busted a nice reverse on his 4th wave.
I thought i was going to win since Noa's been only working on reverse really recently. I don't like how these kids can master new moves so fast! i've been working on doing reverses for over a year and i've only done it few times. ha ha.

It was nice to see Keanu Asing. He's been working hard. yes, work. Lot of people think surfers just surf for fun but once they have sponsors, they need to travel and surf all day trying to get photos and videos.

Keanu just came back from Australia getting some nice shots and video clips.

The weather was just perfect so everyone was hanging out between their sessions. It's so good for the younger kids because this is when they can ask older kids for advise and ask them questions.

Kelia "Sister" Moniz stopped by in the late afternoon. She now has a mean mustache! ha ha.

It was a very peaceful nice day.


i've been having hard time sleeping since the earthquake in Japan. I'm watching Japanese news online and keep seeing/hearing about more messed up stuff.

Couple of explosions at nuclear power plant on top of what they are already going through, dead and missing number up to 2,800 people and I'm pretty sure the number will increase, people who survived are freezing at night even at their shelters, avalanches up in the mountains destroying more houses, etc. It's just nuts over there in Japan.

if you can understand Japanese, here's the link to live TBStv.

Many people have hit me up asking me how they can help Japan. Here's a webpage of list of organizations who are accepting donations towards their relief efforts.

I know some of ou are thinking what's $10 going to do if i donate. well, if everyone here in Hawaii donated $10 each, that's going to raise $12 million!! Every little bit counts.

I really hope Japan doesn't get anymore disasters and can start recovering from this mess.

I was lucky enough to get in touch with my families over in Japan but i know some people haven't been able to reach their families and friends. I hope you all get in touch with them really soon.
