Warm Lefts

Was originally suppose to meet up with my brother, but his knee was bugging him. Hope you feel better bro. Can't complain myself though. The most fun I've had since Monday. It's nice to be in da lineup with a couple of toob ridahz that I've watched get shacked silly since I started bodyboarding. BTW.... Happy Birthday to my oldest son Kaipo and one of my good friends, Brandon. Hope it's a good one for ya. Countdown to Hawaii trip.....~1 Day~ :)

The End.

This Mornings Empty's

2009-07-07T13:09:00.000-07:00

No, these are not sequenced. 2 different wavez :)

Not bad with an empty lineup this morning. Only thing I was moaning and groaning about was how cold it was. My hands and feet were numb... I was struggling in da spring suit. My suggestion... come with a full wardrobe if you come here. Took some helmet cam footage too but don't have time to post it. So check back later. SHOOTS!!!

South North Mix

2009-07-06T10:19:00.000-07:00

Paddled out at moon:15 and kind of felt chilly with some stiff offshorez. But when I touched agua.... it was all warm and cozy.

Best conditionz I've seen in a while. Let's hope it continues.

Hope everyone had a good and safe fourth.

After da big show, we head to Gardena so we can set my artillery off. I bought more then I usually do this year. Lasted almost 2 hrs. Got home around 1230. I had em for all ages. My kids loved it. Almost had an incedent though when someone (I aint gonna say no names) put one in da lil cannon upside down, and instead of flying in da air and blowing up , it blew up right where it was lit. Close one. Anyways....

..... As for da waves, I caught a good sesh this morning. Did a spin here, did a roll there, yaaa :) Suppose to be cleaner and pick up a tad tomorrow. Whateva'z!!! We go.

BTW... I know I've been lagging on da posts. After today it's back on da daily. SHOOTS!!!

Side Onz

2009-07-02T11:11:00.001-07:00

I think someone got fed up with these onshorez and dumped it.

Still some signs of some South. The last couple of days da wind has been making it hard for me to decide whether to paddle or not. Today, I'm glad I did. Atleast it's friday... Well, for some :)

Countdown for Hawaii trip ~9 Dayz~

Southern Sequence

2009-06-30T09:56:00.000-07:00

Decided to take some sequence shots today. Didn't realize I snapped almost 130. I would really love to post all of them but that takes to freakin long. I'll save em for a dry spell.

Da Fuzz

2009-06-28T17:20:00.000-07:00

Elderly women getting harassed for taking aluminum cans out da trash and recycling bin.

2nd unit shows up and tells da rookie to let her off da hook. I saw about 10 cars run a stop sign behind me while this guy was harassing this lady. IDIOT!!

Onshore winds kind of spoiled my morning. But I tried to make da best of it. I'm glad I jumped in. Hope everyone had a good weekend :) Latez!!

Slippin through da doggy door

I love sea life, but for some reason still get nervous when they come around. I have this image in my head of one of them jumping 5 ft in the air and landing on top of me on purpose. Ha.... I know... pretty stupid.

Beautiful morning with some sun.... Finally. Have a nice day.... SHOOTS!!!

2009-06-26T10:41:00.000-07:00

I'm set for my after party. You?

BTW.... for all you south bay locs. Looks like our best bet for surf will be on Monday...... I think. Whateva'z!!! We go.

Random Clips

2009-06-24T13:03:00.000-07:00

Really no waves (atleast when I checked) and da wind was already on it. I hate June! So I rounded up a few clips taken da last year for you to enjoy. I have way more clips, but I messed up and mixed em in with my pictures. Oops. And I even made a video folder. Lazy, lazy, lazy. As for da song... I know I already used it but it's one of my favorites.

Drained

2009-06-23T09:29:00.000-07:00

Took a lil break today from my dawn patrol benders and hung out for a bit with my superman cape and stayed warm on da beach. Snapped of few pics of Da boyz on some fun lil niggets and bounced. Not bad. Hittin it up tomorrow for sure.... Somewhere.... Stay tuned. Have a nice day. BTW.... Header shot was snapped by da wifey of me in a hollow low tide drainer.

Pops

2009-06-21T20:23:00.000-07:00

Saw my father today for the first time since he had his surgery on Tuesday. He's doing fine and gets to go home in 2 days. Stoked for my pops. It doesn't even seem like he went through a double bypass surgery the way he's acting. It's like nothing ever happened to him. He's up and walking, eating and all that other good stuff we do. But I told him, "You need to take it easy man". And he told me, "I know, I know." But I know he won't. I'm just happy his heart's beating and hope we don't have to go through this again.

BTW.... Header pic is of me, my buddy Creed took sometime last year.

Excited at work last night knowing I'm off for 2 days and I wouldn't have to go far this morning to get shacked. Only a few fellow toob riderz out enjoying da inside. Nothing big.... but some looked like a smart car will fit nicely inside. I'm stoked.... Remember, it's fathers day tomorrow :) SHOOTS!!!

Kavika

2009-06-19T15:00:00.000-07:00

Photos are from my son Kavikas Pre-school graduation a couple days ago. He spent 2 yrs here and is pretty excited to go to kindergarten. Especially because he'll be in da same school as his older brother Kimu.

As for surfing today.... I didn't. My boys first day of summer, so I decided to let everyone sleep in. Including me. I think I slept too long though. Because I woke up just after 1130 and felt like crap. Hehe... But atleast it's FRIDAY!!! Don't forget about Fathers Day on Sunday. SHOOTS!!!

Home Throwerz

2009-06-18T10:08:00.000-07:00

I was only planning on doing toob clips, but about 10 minutes after I jumped in, da battery light started blinking (forgot to change em) :( So I was able to squeeze out a couple clips( only chose one good one) and took some pictures before da battery completely died. And yes, I left da olympus at home. Oh well.......

........I almost traveled this morning but for some reason changed my mind after I filled up my gas tank. I'm glad I did. Empty lineup, empty toobz, and solitude for 3+ hrs. Maybe everyones traveling following da swell. I dunno, But whateva'z!!! I did get kind of lonely though after the 2nd hour. I found myself talking to da toobz. HA! SHOOTS!!!

?

2009-06-17T12:15:00.000-07:00

From 5 to about 830... Solitude and toob riding with local boys Nick and Christian. I wanted to stay longer but I wanted to see my youngest, Kavika graduate from pre-school. Hope there's still some leftovers tomorrow.

BTW.... My father made it through the surgery. Now it's just going to take a while for him to recover. Thanks everyone for your kind words, either on this blog, text, or voicemail. Means alot. Thank you.

Mind Easerz

2009-06-16T12:48:00.000-07:00

Got a call last night at work around 2130 that my dad was getting his surgery at 0700 this morning. So me and my brothers and mom spent the night in the hospital spending it keeping each other at ease. Woke up around 0500 and we wished my pops good luck and let him know that everything will work out fine. He is currently still in surgery. So me and my family is still waiting to see how things are going.

Above pictures are from this mornings mind easerz. After leaving the hospital this morning all teared up, I needed something that will totally take my mind off what's going on for a while. A little closedout... But that fits my style.

My Dad

2009-06-15T12:48:00.000-07:00

I'd like to introduce everyone to my father, Kalani Fitisemanu. Just recently he was taken to the hospital from suffering a heart attack. A couple hours after he was admitted he suffered another heart attack. The doctor said if he wasn't in the hospital when he had his second one, he would not be with us right now. Within the next 48 hours he is undergoing a double, maybe triple bypass surgery. If you were to see him now, he seems normal (especially being with him yesterday in his room watching the Lakers take the championship), but having machines hooked up to your heart to help it beat normal isn't. So until this is all over with, and he is able to go home, please keep him in your prayers.

Cam Run

GP Shots

2009-06-09T12:33:00.000-07:00

Gave da 850 a rest and tested out da GP for some stillz. Only thing that sucks is that you don't know what you've shot until it's uploaded. Snapped almost 30 pics and my timing was off on over half of them. Oh well... Trial and error. As for da surf.... a lil bigger and more peakier then yesterday.
