Pearl Harbour!



WOW!.. What an Experience and a piece of History i have visited.

So many photos, 485 i took at this place...So Much to take in.
First of all when we arrived we had to wait an hour and a half to take the memorial tour which consisted of a short film about Pearl Harbour and then a boat tour to the memorial. I learnt alot about this in History back in year 9 & 10, some time ago. But this was an awesome experience to regain knowledge from.

Many pics below, everything is self explanitary so enjoy!.

It's DANGEROUS to give the girls the hands of fire power. Who knows what damage they can do!
1 cent coin machine turns into a custom Pearl Harbour keep sake coin.
Turn the handle a few times and it etches into the coin

Hermano and his golden Mojo!

We all had a great time at Pearl Harbour. Spent many hours there and then went off to Wal Mart on the way home to do some shopping and then to the Ross store for the girls to shop crazy!!..

Got home late and had an awesome day!

From Log Cabbins to Off The Wall to Pipe!





Jan 27.
Woke up and there were a few places with waves.
Santiago, Julia & Clau finally were able to join us here in Hawaii. So Uzmi is now even bigger and even stronger!!!..
We checked Jockos, Log Cabbins, Rocky Point, Off The Wall and a few other spots in the morning. Stopped at Log Cabbins for a little bit and watched the surf. Took a few photos.


My favourite one is the shorebreak warning sign. I love the colours in this photo. The sun was shining, the sky was blue and i captured it all!.

Nice archway of trees. Great shots of Magno, Santiago & Julia.





Thanks to Duda, i now have a liking for stickers on signposts. I think it makes great art and imagery.


I ended up going with Magno & Duda to Backdoor and we shot some footage in the water. Got some great stuff to work with for the film.
Since the waves were kinda small, Duda and I Played around with our cameras and this is what happened...


Then headed back to Magno's place and relaxed for a little.

It was on for the night. Party at Paulo's house, located behind the famous Volcom House. Had a great BBQ and met some great people. Uzmi all had fun.
The Iconic Croc Shoes came out for a play and had a photo with a few of the Uzmi Girls. Was funny.
Few conversations, a few beers, a few steaks and chicken breasts later and it was time for us all to go home.

OLD PB!


The Boys

Clau & Felipe


Santiago with the Croc Shoes!!


Thanks for the BBQ Old PB!

Australia Day In Hawaii



Finally some swell here for the 26th. Australia Day here in Hawaii, found a few Aussies to celebrate with...hahaha

Filmed early on in the morning at Off The Wall.
Was great, can't believe how shallow it is all the way along these beaches. Is absolutely amazing.


Came home for lunch, relaxed a little and watched a bit more of the tennis and then we headed back out for an afternoon session.
Weather turned a little sour and the wind picked up, but the sun was out most of the time keeping everyone happy!!..

Didnt take many photos as most of the day was filming.
Went out to celebrate for Australia Day that night!!...
