Busy, Busy, Busy!!

"Surfing Lani" crew was filming me on friday. they came over to my house to shoot me working on my photos and interviewed me on some stuff. i had to clean my place in a few hours and my place was a mess! i ended up throwing bunch of stuff in the bathroom and just closed the door. ha ha. i haven't been using japanese in a while so i don't even remember what i said on the interview... shiiiiit.

after filming at home we went to the beach to film me surfing. yes, surfing... they are doing stories on bunch of super good surfers and here i was. hope they can make me look good... well, at least not too stupid.

here are couple of shots from the other day when they were filming me shooting.

chihara-san! (aka harry)

on friday when we went to shoot, it started raining HARD!! poor chihara-san stood there getting all soaking wet while trying to keep the camera dry.

here's jisai-san!

i like going front side (rights) so he had to sit where it was super sallow to get some footage... thanks guys!

i also want to thank darren tatsuno for nice board to ride, 88tees for providing me with cool shirts to wear, RVCA for awesome trunks and shirt to wear while surfing, and Sanbon gear for sick slippers!! man, you guys are making me feel like if i were sponsored! ha ha thanks guys!

this weekend i pretty much worked all weekend helping out BayVI guys. they are having a paparazzi surf event on sept. 29th with local motion. cool event! you get to surf kaisers with only few other people and photogs (including me) will be out there shooting photos! the best shot will be use on BayVI's ads! how cool is that?!?!
so i was helping them making store displays and delivering them to local motion stores. so everyone, go to your nearest local motion store and buy some BayVI stuff and sign up for the event! they are giving out some stuff with a purchse and there are only limited slots for the event!

oh yeah, and what the f*ck is going on with all the sharks all over the island?!?!
no, i didn't take this shot! you crazy?? i'd be swimming for my life if i get this close to one of these tiger sharks!

-there was a shark attack in couching lion on the east side (hope todd gets better soon and without any lasting effect from his shark attack.)

-shark sighting in north shore around lani and chuns

-a guy's board got attacked and bit a shark in town by straight out

-multiple shark sightings (jumping out of the water kind of sightings) out side of waikiki

-and today 13ft tiger shark sighting at bowls while i was surfing...

really, what is going on?? i know they are out there and we are playing in their house but i hope this is it and no more attacks!
