good morning. gosh, we scored yesterday!! we went to check this spot that if you get to surf it once in your lifetime, your lucky. it was 10 years ago when we all surfed it for the first time. since then, it broke only a couple of times and i heard it wasn’t too good. every time i come to okinawa, i hope to surf there. so when this typhoon course was looking like the same one 10 years ago, i knew we had a chance. kimura-san and i paddled out. there were 2 other guys that just went out too. satoru-san came out an hour later. us 5 took turns surfing a spot that you could only dream of. after we came back home, i took a nap for 2 hours….. i’m satisfied for the next 10 years….

after surfing for 3 hours, we were hungry. kimura-san is one of the few lucky surfers in the world that is going to experience what we experienced yesterday. if i get to surf there one more time in my lifetime, i’m going to drink a whole bottle of habusake and surf naked…. i took a few lineup photos. stay tuned…

hey jack, it was good seeing you out there. it’s been 10 years yeah? sorry we couldn’t paddle out for round 2. we were just too dam tired. nice wave dude….

i grabbed a hand full of shells back in north sumatra. in okinawa, i filled up my pockets 5x already. and i ain’t done yet….

and last, i took this photo of myself when i reached the top of mt. fuji. there are like 10 happy moments in my life and this moment is one of them…. life doesn’t get happier than this….

when ever we have a naha town night, it starts of at ol’e pool and food bar. this place is cool. pool tables, dart boards, table tennis, huge big screen tv’s, and the coolest VIP room. if you haven’t been there, you must check it out.

this was our party the other night. do we look happy or what? gosh, it’s amazing how the okinawan people have such a great time…

i finally downloaded my dig camera. this is a photo of horii-san and team DIG last week at morimoto’s in shikoku. wanted to say hello to everybody at team DIG…. hope to see you guys again soon….

i stole this photo off the barrels blog. this is my sponsor ishino-san and i in padang airport deep in indonesia. our boat trip seems like years ago but it was only 3 months ago. gosh, how time flies….
