アンジェラマキ,ワイキキ,Surf Hawaii: Surfing Waikiki Summer Fun with Go-Naminori

[goosygoose123]

ohh wow thats amazing :) what a beautiful day i wish jersey had waves like that

[ventura861]

please guys, What song is it? i want know the name of the song

[gonaminori]

take me home by bruddah iz....

[adrianchow100]

Have fun surfing.

[AtaJanaNia]

have you surfed in panama?

[renia195707]

Hello

[bsol07]

oh man i miss hawaii so badly

oh god

i'm thinking of moving to irvine, ca but have never surfed there

how do the waters compare?

[gonaminori]

no waters in the world can compare to hawaii. crystal clear, blue, and warm all year around... mahalos...

[theoryaction]

@bsol07 if you live in irvine, you can surf in huntington beach, newport beach, or longboard in san onofre, down by san clemente. the waves are smaller in orange county, and the water gets down to about 50-55 degrees fahrenheit in the winter, so bring a wetsuit

[tsarrite]

I'm sure we'd have more girl surfers in CA if the water wasn't a freezing 50+ degrees. =O

[bugsymaloneb]

yes lets go! Been there once!

[elcabecilha]

nobody like you japanese people, you don´t respect now one, you´re make to mutch noise, you don´t now wath surfing is about....

[jpaek]

@elcabecilha Eh kook, go throw your garbage somewhere else you racist pig. Dumb ass.

[elcabecilha]

@jpaek AHAHHAHAHAHA i´m not racist dude ahahahah its a fact, japanese surfers ( not people man) do to mutch noise man, they don´t respect anyone in the water, they drop in front of you, they don´t know the rules inside the water man, first you learn how to be in the water, then you go to the water and have some fun, there´s nothing about racism man!! spanish are the same and italians too, but just in surf man. i love japan, and spain and italy... relax man!!

[mang01215]

@elcabecilha OK, maybe I assumed too, and im sorry but it's easy to take your comment offensively. Japanese people are cool. They have lots of respect, they just don't know da rules or etiquette of surfing, thats all. It's not that no one is going to hate them for that either. They are good peoples.

[drumbum3218]

I admire you.  Fun and happy. I learned a lot.

[drumbum3218]

I admire you. Fun and happy. I learned a lot.

[drumbum3218]

I admire you. You and your videos are very fun and happy. I learned a lot.

[johnvquiney]

Must be nice....

[thisisnotyours1]

AT 6:36 them chicks did not looked like Japanese and it's weird seeing them speak in japanese.... Lol... cute

[nbb1603]

surfing queens was harder than i thought . the peaks kept on shifting from left to right. i got confused one time and me and one of the locals (a white american) kind of collided and it was my fault. he was quite aggressive and told me if i did it to the wrong guy out he'd get really pissed off. i didn't know that they could get so aggressive at waikiki. waikiki is awesome, but i hate how they get a bit too serious about their surfing sometimes. shit happens.

[fattony252]

There was a legend of American G.I . surfers that rode the 200 footers when they dropped the A Bomb on Bikini 1945

[mfitz73]

lot of people sharing waves out there... guess everyone is pretty friendly lol

[ARMYSTRENGTHxbl]

do alot of people speek english in hawaii

[gonaminori]

everybody speaks english in hawaii!!!

[therealdmt]

Good video -- you make the whole scene look really fun.

[imocomgt]

diferent brake in the world... same vibe....everyone comes in smiling and happy... that is the wonder of this gilft called surfing,,,,

[Rac665]

awesome! I used to walk around waikiki with a generic Rusty tshirt and a bicycle!. then i'd drop it in sand get it wet and waxed, and just pretend. ahh the memories,

[portlock88]

todd mitsui was one of the best amateur's in the late 80's. He would dominate Courts/Concessions..

[celebstalka33]

Ya it's way expensive. Got friends there. But sooo worth it. I'm goon 4 college too

[PlanetEarth71994]

Is it expensive to live in Hawaii? Because i want to go there for college so that any time I have free time I can go surf.

[gonaminori]

hawaii is pretty expensive compared to the states. but it's all worth it!!!

[luckygrommet22]

you gotta love surfline yea ? haha

[3663041]

belo vidio parabens

[GOT2BFASTER]

I SURFED THERE! WOOO

[Buggerlugz000]

Do the locals feel

'awkwardness" toward the Japanese for the atrocity of Pearl Harbour?

[nin10star]

@Buggerlugz000 nahh they all feel it towards white people for waikiki D: (im white)

[gonaminori]

no, the war was over a long time ago. most people in hawaii can forgive. and most people in hawaii know about how america dropped atom bombs on hiroshima and nagasaki. war sucks....

[viernesb]

@Buggerlugz000 ----real locals, that is, hawaiians,

are aware that they were not the targets of the pearl

harbor attack. also hawaii was already 1/3 japanese by

the time of the attack.

[HaliGrom]

@Buggerlugz000 most people in hawaii are half japanese...

[ilovefrankandbeans]

@HaliGrom no they're not you dumb fuck

[openem]

[larryjohnny]

great video man, you had to sacrifice your ride time but it's worth it !

[GeekBoy03]

Surfing in Waikiki? I doubt that as it's waters are smooth as a lake compared to the other parts of the island

[marwanb7]

Nice video man!! i never been to Hawaii but its one of my dreams,i really want to live there but i heard that life is pretty much expensive in Hawaii, is that true??

[GeekBoy03]

yes, almost everything has to be brought in by air or ship and witgh limtied land how could it not be expensive?

[marwanb7]

Are you from there?

[GeekBoy03]

yes I am

[marwanb7]

You dont mind if i add you as a friend, i would like to ask you a few questions if you have the time?

[gonaminori]

yeah, hawaii is kind of expensive.  but when you wake up every morning to blue skies and tropical weather, it's worth every penny....

[lastcall808]

You cant ride sk8brd in Waikiki......suxs!!!

[gonaminori]

yeah, that sucks...

[Illuminatix]

Veryy Nice Vid man :) I really enjoy surfing & Bodyboarding. I liked a lot ur vid.. its very close to pepople, makes u like little big family, having fun, laughing, sunny nice girls good MOD really makes viewer want to go there. I also liked the angle behind surfer, quite a not-seen before angle.. I dont remember at least :) At least I know I will park cheap near queens, 25ct/hour ;). Thx, have good sessions outta there and regards from Spain, mahalooo

[gonaminori]

spain? wow!! you should come to hawaii and enjoy the aloha spirit! i hope i can visit spain someday. keep on surfing!! go-naminori.

[crisolmoon]

Beautiful girls they surf too! Angela tá running wave with leche knee, I found interesting and I will try tbm. You have good taste in everything. I have seen many videos, but none with this quality I am critical of many things of them are videos. They have good uptime, good use, interactivity, information, humility and profissionalismo.Pode make sure I had a chance I will see this maravilha.Meus parabens

[gonaminori]

thank you so much for your comments. i really appreciate it!! more videos to come on go-naminori. mahalo from hawaii....

[opolumber]

O'ahu SUCKS SHIT!!!!!!!!! THERE IS NOTHING TO DO IN THAT SHIT PLACE!!!!

[gonaminori]

dude, you need some loving in your life. what happened? did somebody kick your ass in oahu for acting stupid? better come back to hawaii and feel the true aloha spirit. something you obviously didn't experience before....

[opolumber]

dude i live in hawaii all my life. Its really boring you know. Water park sucks ass.....its definately for kids, and surfing gets boring after a while. I have experience living in oahu more than you so you can just suck my balls b1tch

[gonaminori]

yeah, water park was designed for kids like me. and i can imagine surfing pipeline, waimea, and sunset beach being boring. your right dude....

[opolumber]

u live in japan?

[gonaminori]

nope, born and raised in hawaii. i had a question for you. did something bad happen here to make you hate hawaii? your the first person in my life i've ever met that hates hawaii. i'm not trying to be an asshole or anything, i just want to know why. mahalo...

[opolumber]

nothing bad happened to me in hawaii. There is just nothing to do. And are u serious that i am the 1st person that hates hawaii, cause many people in the schools i went says hawaii is boring and crappy. Many people wants to move away from hawaii.

[gonaminori]

there are so many cool things to do here. beach, hike, shop, or just chill out. and yes, your the first person i met that hates hawaii. are you still a kid? to tell you the truth, i use to hate hawaii too. but now after traveling around the world, i realized hawaii is the best place. go to indonesia, the philippines, africa, and other third world countries and you will know what i mean. where you living now?

[Reed12223]

:(

kinda mean lol

[nodakazuta0828]

あんちゃんかわいい

[Q4JULY33063]

i use to live there in 1963 to 67 my dad was air force, there was like only 2 buildings on the beach then......

[jcarlos301]

[Zevvion]

Damn, that place is paradise. I want to go there.

[marommay]

[komaiaboyz]

[minie2]

Hi.. does Waikiki get some nice waves in september? I'll be there 13th - 20th. Ive been there once in May, it was great, but I know summer is best. Great video.. Mahalo!

[gonaminori]

there should still be some waves in september. it's never flat in waikiki... enjoy hawaii!!!

[deeznuts430]

might have a few - summer is when waikiki is good, south shore. North shore like pipeline is up in winter time.

[hohohee1]

[gonaminori]

no need wetsuit. it's warm here....

[Uluhipi]

no its really cold... and it'll be snowing over there... you gonna def. need your wet suit.

[zacmac2]

Went surfing for this first time at waikiki beach a couple of months ago it was amazing

[Buggerlugz000]

Magic longboard waves- Diamond Head in background? Sorry, not hot insofar as to Hawaiian geography. Ala Moana comes to mind on coast shown.(?) Mates havin' fun on some playful waves - wot it's all about - yer reckon?

[nowhere8]

I love surfing on nice days with overcasts like that...great surf without the sunburns

[bj616]

Great vid! I love Waikiki, awesome surfing!!

[leokendiva]

surfing is awesome, i would LOVE to learn :) nice vid !

[RtbeerFloat]

cool vid.

That is a very beautiful place, i wish i had enough money to go to hawaii 8)

♥♥RtbeerFloat

[kileen05]

Does not cost that much sistah.

I pay about $5.50 round trip. Stay with two friends and split the cost of everything.

Don't let the fear stop you from seeing it yah.

~Aloha~Cc

[ageofasylum]

What airline do you use to pay $550 round trip?

Once i graduate highschool im going to do exactly what you do :)

[yakzor]

gr8 vid must be gr8 to stay in the water for over two hours without a wetsuit. If i put my winter suit on here in ireland and go surfing the circulation cuts off to my feet after 2 hours in the water :P

[gonaminori]

that cold?? oh my gosh... that must not be too fun. keep warm and hope the water gets warmer soon...

[MrLeeMrLee2]

nice video 5 star

[gonaminori]

thank you MrLee...

[stevehewitt12345]

Rad videos bro nice to see the stoke is still alive, way to represent brother.

[ersurfer]

Very Nice! Miss Hawaii....Southern California is beautiful too but just not the same. However, surfing with friends and the "ear to ear smile" never changes.....Cheers, B

[gonaminori]

cheers to you too.. thanks for the comment...

[kennethdiaz10]

[gonaminori]

[spendell2]

hey man, i live in so cal, my mom says she will take me 2 waikiki if i get straight A's(im in 7th grade). Whats a great place for shortboarding in waikiki? i dont care if its huge i just wanna know. thanks

[gonaminori]

well, you better get straight A's then. don't blow this opportunity. waikiki doesn't get that big so don't worry. give me a shout before you come and i'll let you know where to go too. good luck in school...

[spendell2]

thanks man! i got a b+ tho. but ill get it up before a week hopefully. but im pretty sure she will take me anyways. l8tr bro

[gonaminori]

[myfurryhat]

dayumm. I am taking japanese 1. (i'm in 9th grade) i hope i can talk like you someday. =P I also hope i can move to waikiki. I love it dere. =]

[gonaminori]

yeah, you really should take japanese in school. you surely could use it in hawaii. it's good to communicate with people from different countries. forming friendships. that's what it's all about...

[deadthings554]

Yeah my dad says that too. I wonder if hotels pay good for translaters...

[HelpfulMate]

Heading to Hawaii in a few weeks. Hope to catch some fun waves like this!!! Keep the videos coming... I love them!

[gonaminori]

thanks for the comment. hope your having a great trip and maybe see you in the water.... mahalo...

[Stonecanyoncreek]

Gonaminori - thanks for the videos... They have a certain humanity and sense of community that I appreciate your sharing/capturing. Also, I really like your translations which all the more add to your pieces and the people you talk too - what a gift for someone not able to be there (yet)...mahalo

[gonaminori]

thanks for the comment. hope you will be able to experience hawaii and its people in the near future. always welcomed. mahalo.

[bigal5193]

then**

[bigal5193]

your waves break so much farther out the new jersey haha, is it always like that near you?
