i was on the airplane looking through the surfing magazine, it was pretty interesting because there was a feature on one place i’ve always wanted to surf in indonesia. it was a secret spot but not anymore. but yeah, i still want to go there someday soon. it’s barrels like this that make me want to search for the perfect wave!

then flipped the page and was surprised to see my nephew Josh Moniz in there for Surfer of the Month. they had a good write up on him and i was super happy to see this shy boy shine in the spotlight.

16 year old Josh Moniz is now known worldwide. great for this kid, and great for his sponsors. i’m sure they are as proud as i am. Go-Josh!

ok, as you all know, i love japan, and i love sushi. so when you put the both together, it’s love love! i was in love love last night eating the best sushi tokyo has to offer. i got up at 5am this morning so no jetlag yet. hope you all have a great day!

oh, and the news here in tokyo is about north korea firing a missile here. the japan army is ready, the US army is ready, but i’m not ready. it’s a scary thought to be here right now. why can’t we all live in peace?

Happy Birthday Hikaru!!!  Enjoy the best year ahead!

Tokyo sushi night!
I love Japan!
