there is a casino in my hotel! 
went there with the boys to gamble. but i’m not a gambler so i didn’t lose anything. but it was fun watching the boys lose all their money. haha.
i get a call this morning at 5:30am from Peter King. he invites me for a foil and told me i don’t need to bring anything. 5 minutes later, i was running to his hotel full speed. no brushing teeth, no breakfast, and no nothing. i didn’t want to miss the chance to try the new JS foil board he just got. by the way, it was super cold but after running that much, i was sweating. haha..
Peter King is hooked more than anyone i know on foiling. this kid makes me laugh so much. thanks for setting up my board!
then the Chinese came to check us out. they were probably thinking “i can make that $2,000 foil for $60.” haha..
you should have seen us out early this morning at Snapper Rocks. i caught my first wave all the way to the beach past Greenmount. it took 2.5 minutes to get there and my legs were burning! then i caught so many more good ones. those were my longest waves in my life! one guy said that these past few days were the best it ever gets for foiling.
after 2 hours of foiling, i came back to my best friend Matthew’s foil shop and we got ready to go back out again. yes, Matt is my new best friend! haha… 
borrowed JS foil board from Peter King, borrowed Dakine leash from John John Florence, and borrowed Signature Foil from Matthew. i’ve been foiling 2 rounds per day on the best foiling waves of my life. nothing in Hawaii can even compare to the waves here. 
then come home and get a text and photos from Nana-chan. OMG! she took these beautiful photos of Seth yesterday during his heat. i just love it!!!
i’m still in disbelief that this day has finally come. it feels just like yesterday when Seth was just a little baby…
i love this photo so much! Seth coming in after winning his heat. total calmness and total confidence. he just created the upset of the day beating Julian Wilson.
thank you again Nana-chan for the priceless photos!!! i’m totally living in my dream life right this moment and i don’t want anyone to wake me up!!!
