I love the rain!
No rain, no rainbows!

i have the coolest local surfer friends. Byron’s been surfing for 50 years and knows everybody from back in the 70’s. just a super cool brother that’s always smiling and telling his amazing stories.

Asayama-san took it up to another level yesterday. surfed the main peak at bowls and felt the real south shore power!

great job!

it’s crazy how fit Asayama-san is now compared to last year. bigger chest, muscular arms, and calm mind. all from surfing and yoga!

then went to pick up the honeymooners in the afternoon. Miki-san surfing for the very first time. and standing up on her very first wave.

Okamoto-san’s been surfing for a while now and it shows in his surfing. super smooth and super stoked!

the waves were so good in the afternoon. i seen some awesome waves ridden.

nice off the lip Okamoto-san! you rip!

Miki-san caught a wave and fell. then my camera somehow got stuck in her leash by her foot. it was so weird!!! i was looking for it and thought i lost another one. then i seen it hanging from the leash by her foot. weird.

welcome to hawaii you honeymooners! awesome surfing and awesome smiles. you both did great! have a safe flight back to ibaraki and keep on surfing!

then came home, grabbed a beer, then headed to the concert. it was so amazing! songs from the 80’s that brought back so many good memories! THE CURE!

Tokyo Banana Caramel Custard Cream. Delicious! Thank you Aida-san!
