Pipeline – North Shore of Oahu

If you ever think you have seen a big wave, go to the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii during a big winter swell. This was a small day and they were still 8-12 feet Hawaiian.

If you have never been, the best part about this wave is that it literally breaks about 40-50 yards from shore, so you can feel everything just standing on the beach, very cool.

The right hand wave is the famed Banzi Pipeline and the left hand wave is called The Backdoor. Enjoy

Bangkok Dangerous

Bangkok is one of my favorite cities in the world.  The people are warm and inviting, the city is clean (all relative of course) and everyone loves the King.  You can pretty much see anything you want there and the curry is unreal.  I suggest staying out of Soi Cowboy and checking out Jimmy Wong and getting tattoo.   If you have not been to Bangkok, Pack you bags and go.

P.S.- when you get there refuse to take a cab and only ride in these tuk tuk’s, the fear of death ads to the experience.

Take It From Tony

Man, I have had a few just hectic days of late.  Have you ever been there?  You get so bogged down and derailed with work and family and just life in general that you forget what you are working towards?  What you are working for, what it truly is you do what you do for?

I was there today and have been there in the past and one thing I have started doing in the past few years is reaching out to those who A. are smarter than me, and B. have been there before.

I find the teachings of these people to not only inspire and motivate me, but also to remind me of what my goal, my purpose, my “why” is.

Today I want you to recenter and find your “why” and determine if what you are doing is getting you closer to that “why” or farther away from it?

Decision is the ultimate power and as you will see in the video below by one of my all time favorites, Tony Robbins, each decision we make directly affects our future and possibly the futures of other and even the world.  If this video does not get you excited to change your life for the better, you are not alive to begin with.  Enjoy…

Now go…
