wow, an amazing morning! perfect sun, perfect glassy, and perfect for SUP’ing! left the harbor at 8am.

Kougo-san is a very good surfer. only been surfing for 3 years, but has the ability of a veteran. it’s amazing how good someone can get in that short amount of time.

gosh, i think i’m starting to like SUP’ing a lot. better views, more waves, and the best workout you can possible think of. feels like i’m using every single inner muscle my body has.

Kougo-san was super stoked. he caught so many long waves. smiling the whole way long! his first SUP experience in hawaii!

one of my friends out there told me “wow, your friend is better than you!” haha.

gosh, what a beautiful day! what more could you ask for?

when ever i paddle on a short board, nobody panics because they know i’m in total control. but when i’m on a SUP, everybody knows to get the heck out of my way because i’m very dangerous!!! haha.

had a seafood black bean noodle lunch. an awesome talk with a very smart man. thank you Kougo-san for the awesome surf and great advise.

spent morning on the water with Kougo-san, then the afternoon under the water with Asayama-san.

gosh, i’d be a millionaire if i did turtle tours.

but if i was a millionaire, i wouldn’t go as deep underwater because i would want to come back up to spend all my money. haha.

34′ (12M) @ 67 years old. Amazing!
