It was very cool to tow in foil with Matsu.  We rented a boat, went out to the outer reef and had the time of our lives.  Matsu was ripping on his foil!  

On my surfboard, I’m trying to go faster, but on my foil, I’m trying to go slower.  The speeds you can get up to on a foil are crazy.  There were some waves where I was thinking “if I fall, I’m going to get hurt.”  

I had a pretty bad wipeout.  I was just hoping my knee was still together when after I landed.  Thank goodness nothing broke.  

Before I left Hawaii, I told myself “Go on this trip and be present.  Enjoy each other, each moment, and make memories.”  Up until recently, I would always have to be on my computer or phone for work, but this trip, I put that aside and spent just minutes instead of hours online.  By doing that, I was more present and it was nice to enjoy each others company.  I wish I did this years earlier but I never look back.  Going forward, I will be less and less online, and more and more time inline with my friends and living in the moment.  So sorry for not replying to everyones messages or emails.

Tow in foil time! Let’s go!!!

We got so surf another day just to ourselves.  A beautiful location, fun waves, clean water, white sandy beach, blue sky, and shells everywhere.  This is what an epic surf trip is all about.  

If you travel with us, you have to be spontaneous.  The ocean dictates our plan so when it’s time to move, we move fast.  We were traveling for 9 hours yesterday.  Drive, ferry, drive, and airplane.   Lots of planning, and a little bit of luck but we made it!  

The cool thing about traveling in Indonesia is the things you get to see.  Everybody here is trying to make a living.   

Street food is the best.  Cheap, simple, and delicious.  

We had Kimura-san’s birthday party on the beach.  Watching the sunset together, listening to music, eating fresh seafood, singing, and laughing till midnight.  

The traditional Bali dance is so beautiful.  

Last night was a night to remember.  Or maybe not remember depending on how many drinks you had.  Haha.  A special bottle of Jack Daniels, mixed with coconut water, live music, laughs, and memories of a lifetime.  Happy Birthday Kimura-san!
