Yesterday one more:  Ernie at Rockpiles…

Good morning 4:45am.
Ala Moana waist to chest high and good.
Hawaii State Amateur contest ON at Bowls.
Diamond Head chest high and bumpy.
Strong trade winds at 25mph.
Sun, showers, and rainbows.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

I was up at 3am and couldn’t wait until it got lighted enough to surf.  Drank kombucha, ate a yogurt bowl, did yoga, exercised, stretched, and was surfing in the dark.  Glad to be back to my daily routine.  

It felt so good to be back in the ocean again!  I felt reborn again.

Kyle always riding enough waves to make the rest of his day great.  

On this particular run, I was trying to catch up with Takahashi-san and Rina-chan.  They were going so fast so I had no chance.

My first day in Japan was on April 2 and the cherry blossoms bloomed in Yokohama.  This was on my last day in Saporro and I got to see the cherry blossoms bloom again.  This was such a lucky trip because seeing the cherry blossoms was on the top of my list.  I’m still wondering why I get so happy when I see it?  

Flying home on ANA is the best.  Very quiet, great service, free surfboards, and always on time.

Sorry if I missed your email, texts, or calls while on this trip.  My phone wasn’t working properly so if you haven’t heard back from me by now, I haven’t received your message.  Gomenasai.

Hokkaido’s best ramen…
