  Waialua kayaker missing 
  
  Friends who kept a vigil for missing fisherman Victim 1 yesterday were hopeful that his ocean knowledge and healthy condition would save his life. Victim 1, 53, of Waialua, failed to return from a fishing trip at his favorite location off Kaimanu Place in Waialua on Monday evening. He was in a yellow kayak and was wearing a long sleeved T-shirt and shorts. A search by the Honolulu Fire Department and Coast Guard has turned up Victim 1's paddle and fishing pole. A water bailer and water bottles believed to be his were found in a pocket of debris close to SEE KAYAKER, B3 where he launched, said Honolulu fire Capt.  No other belongings or the kayak were found by the time the search was called off at dark, Capt. said, adding that the search will resume this morning, providing the expected large swells don't impede that. Some 25 firefighters and Coast Guard personnel in helicopters, a 110-foot search boat and a C-130 airplane were involved in a search area the size of O'ahu from Hale'iwa to Mokule'ia. "We'll keep searching for as long as the possibility of survival exists," said a Coast Guard commander. In Waialua, about two dozen friends had been on the beach since early morning at the location where Victim 1 launched his 10-foot kayak. They were surprised that their friend could be missing because, they said, he was a good ocean man who knew his limits and practiced safe boating. "Being in the water for him was like walking in his backyard," said a longtime friend of Victim 1. His knowledge of the ocean, especially at Waialua, where he fished regularly, was extensive, Shima said. Several on the beach were young men whom Victim 1 had taught to fish, including Friend 1, from Maui. Friend 1 had come to O'ahu on other business but said he felt he needed to be at the beach yesterday. Friend 1 said the man who taught him to fish and showed him his fishing spots also taught ocean safety. Victim 1 was physically fit and energetic, but without the kayak it would be difficult to survive, he said.
