Relaxing Uzmi Style @ Pupukea!


Feb 3

We have had such bad weather over the last few days.

RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN, SUN, RAIN!..
AND SMALL WAVES, STILL!!!!...

Boys surfed a little and then we just all chilled out.
Not much to say really.

A BBQ was planned for later on at the Uzmi house in Pupukea.
Went with Paulo, Jeffinho, Aline & Tais to Foodland to grab some supplies.
Once we were done with that we headed up the top of the hill and all the guys hopped out and i took Paulo's car back down the mountain to pick up the next crew.

Magno, justin, Mark & Wes were next. Back to Foodland to get the last lot of supplies and we were off.
Back up the hill, relaxing, checking out the sites and it stopped raining for a little.




Arrived to find a few of the guys relaxing Uzmi style in the Jaccuzi!. Nice!!!...

More people arrived and then it was time to start the BBQ.

I was the chef again tonight, Erisberto did the marinating and i cooked the BBQ until my eyes were smoked out from the coals and then Magno took over.

Magno & I started this baby up!.


So annoying trying to cook a coal BBQ and then it starts pouring down with rain in the angle that it starts to put out the coals..
Arrghh..But we kept it going.

There was So much food it wasnt funny. Suprisingly, everyone was full.


Then i had a break and jumped in the olympic style luxury pool and the Jacuzzi. Great times.








clau, Julia, Santiago, Felipe, Hermano & Henrique arrived a little later. Back to the BBQ. Cooked them some steak and hamburger patties and then Santiago and I teamed up to marinate a fresh fish. Turned out alright!..


Big Welcome to Uri who flew in 2 days ago!!...

By this time it was almost 12, got a lift home and straight to sleep!...

Feast @ the Uzmi House

Feb 2.


The day was great. Got some filming done @ Rocky Point. Once again we are in drought of some big swell. Small waves here at the moment. AGAIN!. All the boys surfed, Sun came out a little but has been pretty overcast.
Filmed the whole day and then came home late afternoon as it started to rain.

I was about to cook a real late lunch for a small bunch of us but then all of a sudden it was decided we'd do a big feast for dinner.
I was at it, i think i found a new hobbie...Cooking.. Yes i know Mum, very weird hey but i'm starting to enjoy it!..Hahahaha

So anyways, i started to marinate the chicken, more people turned up and ended up cooking for a total of 12. Was awesome.


Made a HUGE Ceasar Salad, Baked Potatoes & A Secret Marinated Rhyees style Grilled Chicken.
Turned out awesome, everyone loved it.

Then on top of that the boys went and grabbed some meat and we had a Brazilian style BBQ before hand as a starter..YUM!






And then on top of that!, Julia and Clau cooked an UNBELIVABLE chocolate cake. SOOOO NICE, as you can see i did enjoy it..Hahaha





So did everyone else.


They boys also had a small FIFA 07 Tournament.


It was a pretty fun night!!!.

ILLUMINADED @ Rocky Point!

Jan 30

No photos during the day.
Had a very productive day filming.

All the Uzmi crew were all on the beach for the whole day chilling out relaxing, surfing and having fun as we do!...
The guys were hitting big moves. Mark McCarthy hit this HUGE Reverse air which kept everyone amazed.

We were then blessed with another Beautiful Hawaiian Sunset!.
