First off, here are a couple pictures I got from Michael (He’s the guy allowing me to store the canoe in front of his house). He saw us out sailing on Sunday, and took the time to take some picutes. He even did some editing on a couple of them. I’m really excited to have [...]

The Sailing Rig Works!
There she is! Holole’a with a sail (I finished the polas, mast step, and a GIANT carbon fiber steering blade last week). It was a beautiful day and Kai and I had a great time (Stace was at an OC-6 regatta in Waimanalo)! The only problem with the rig, is that I broke it… I [...]
NEW CANOE!!!
About a month ago, I gave up on my search for a used OC-4, and ordered a brand new one from Jay Dowsett (Kailua Kanu). This is the same design as the red and white canoe we surfed in the “OC-4 at the Mokes” video… After much drooling and anticipation, the canoe is finished! Jay [...]
SUP with the GoPro
Aloha, This is a video made with film I shot back on 19 April. Editing videos has basically choked our laptop. I filled up the hard drive, and it was running way too slow to edit things… So… I bought a new iMac (thanks Nani!)! Now I have a 24″ iMac with all the bells [...]
The surf was still fun on Sunday!
First off, it appears that the pictures don’t open correctly on a PC… I’ll have to try and fix that later… If you copy them somewhere else, and open with another program, they open correctly… Now, to the point of this post… On Sunday morning, there was still some fun surf… I woke up and [...]
The weather improved!
We gave up on the weather, and were headed over the hill to waste some time, when I got a call. The weather is clearing up, and the surf is AWESOME!!! We pulled a U’ey and zoomed back home. I threw the board in the truck and headed to Lanikai Reef. The sets were still [...]
Giant NE Swell 13 March
When I came out of the tunnel on the way home from work, the whole east side was engulfed in one of the biggest NE swells in decades. When I got home, I had 3 voice mails about the surf… The guys were taking the Opelu out and needed more bodies. We couldn’t find anyone [...]
OC-4 at the Mokes!
OC-4 Surfin’! Join in the fun as Mike takes Derek, Stacey and Eric out for a few waves at the Mokes. This was my first ride in an OC-4, and now I NEED one! That thing is FUN! I called Mike to ask about OC-4′s and get some info on what to buy / where [...]
My first Movie
This was my first movie. It was originally played on Beach Walks With Rox (Beachwalks.TV), but I decided to put it on Funhogs, too (for posterity…). It is called Pau Hana, because it was filmed on a Friday following an early dismissal from work (Aloha Friday). I start with my Pueo OC-1 at Kalama Beach [...]
Kaile rides her big girl bike!
Holy cow! She’s up and riding on her first try! All it took was a couple weeks of running around on her Skuut. She was doing so well, I took the training wheels off her bike and asked her if she wanted to try. One run up the lane and back and she was able [...]
