kewalos looked surfable but not that great and top of that, it started raining super hard. kouki and i were sitting in my car waiting for the rain to stop, that's when kirby drove up.
kirby's a pro surfer in japan and owns www.go-naminori.com. not only he's a great surfer, he takes awesome surf photos and he's a master of spear fishing. i knew if kirby's at kewalos, this was the best spot to surf on the island. so instead of waiting for derek to wake up and call me back, we changed and paddled out while kirby went out for a spear fishing session.
this kid, shun, from japan is staying with kirby so shun paddled out with us to surf too. man, this kid can surf!! he's only 11 and he was making me look really bad out there doing nice snaps, sick cutbacks, etc. shun got vana (sea urchin) stuck in his hand from taking one of the waves too far in. he was tough tho. he kept on surfing. it's kindda hard to see in the photo but he had about 20 little thorns stuck in his hand.
i knew kirby was gonna catch some fish! if i were to be in that tv show survivor, i want him on my tribe for sure. with kirby on the tribe we'll be gaining weight while the other tribe will be starving. ha ha
took a little food break and we were back in the water. the surf actually got really fun! i was so stoked for kouki cuz after today he's back in japan, working everyday and surf every once in a while.
for the 2nd session geoff, dana, zeke, and finally derek joined us. here are some shots i took in the parking lot after our session.
just hanging out enjoying our sunday early evening.
i guess this is how kids now these days kiss. ha ha
derek was trying to look cool changing. i don't think it worked, he doesn't look cool at all...
everytime i take my camera out, zeke wants to pose and get some shots, camera whore! ha ha
i thought we were going to have a crappy day but ended up being a fun day again!
