Hattori-san landed in Hawaii at 7:30am, then we were surfing at 9:30am. this is how you maximize you’re Golden Week! as for me, this was already my second round of surfing this morning. so yeah, i’m maximizing my Golden Week too! haha… it’s so cool to see everybody improving. just more relaxed and cooler style. i just love this view! i’m sure Hattori-san loves it too. there was a contest at Bowls today so the Hawaiian Water Patrol was kicking everybody out of the water. good thing these guys are my friends. haha. thanks boys! Hattori-san was lucky to be able to surf pretty much uncrowded surf. long rides and happy smiles… after 2 rounds of surfing, it was still before lunch time. so went to the hardware store to start my afternoon project. lucky to have a truck. there’s no other way. spent 4 hours of construction after this. blood, sweat, and tears… then came home to watch Seth’s heat. bummer he didn’t advance, but happy he’s coming back home tomorrow. a week to rest and reset before heading to Bali. that one, i’m not missing! good job in Australia Seth! you got 5th and 9th place which is a great way to start off your rookie season. i’m seriously thinking about taking this year off from work so i can go on tour with you. you surf, and i’ll foil. haha…
