i had such a great time surfing with Uchiyama-san this morning. a hard core surfer from Chigasaki that’s been surfing half of his entire life. super good to surf the reef at bowls as the waves were super perfect!

nice bottom turn. when you can set your rail in the water like this, you will see the spray coming off the back. it feels so dam good!

and a panorama shot for memories. thank you Mr. and Mrs. Uchiyama-san for a wonderful day in hawaii.
i always tell my friends here in hawaii, “you will never appreciate hawaii unless you leave hawaii.” every time i come back, i feel refreshed and excited to get back to work. can’t wait till tomorrow! good night.

Straight UP!


Morning surf was awesome!!! So happy!!!
