when Peter King and i were setting up the board, something very interesting happened. a couple of Chinese people came up to us and started talking about the foil. come to find out, they own a big factory in China that makes surfboard leashes. and now, they want to start making foils too. they got out their camera, took photos, and i bet you in a few months, you will see go-foil knockoffs. but instead of paying $1,500, it would probably only cost you $300. isn’t that crazy? i walk around in the morning and see magic mushrooms everywhere! please don’t put these in your morning omelet. haha. when i told my friend Matt that i free dive, he said “OMG, i have to take you to my friends factory right now!” 10 minute later, we were at his friend Ray’s carbon fin factory. come to find out, Ray knows so many world wide divers i know too. such a small world! maybe next time i come to Australia, i can go free diving! walking in there was like walking into a candy store. i’d be an upset kid if i left there empty handed. look at these beautiful custom fins! this will cost twice as much in Hawaii! so i picked up my dream blades. it’s Madam Pele! can’t wait to use her! thanks Ray at Diver Fins, Australia! then stopped by to grab a very healthy Acai Bowl with lilikoi! then went to get a super good Chinese foot massage. a massage and a nap at the same time? can’t beat that! then Tony and i went to stop over at the National Sanctuary. so cool to see the kangaroos. then i got dropped off at Surfers Paradise. a big city with big lights and many people. something totally different to where i was the past week. anyway, making my way back home slowly but surely. have a wonderful night!
