omg, the waves yesterday morning were the best in a long time. super glassy conditions and very long rides. Hattori-san caught 20 waves! getting better in skill, and getting better in style. nice bottom turn. love the sprays coming off the rail… and nice cross step. looking better and better each day of Boot Camp! thank you Hattori-san for the snacks. great Summer treats! i went to foil Diamond Head yesterday afternoon and it was totally perfect. i learned a lot in Australia and am trying hard to perfect my cutbacks. little by little…. always get jealous when Nao-san sends me photos from Niwa. i miss it very much! i’m allergic to shrimp but i’ll eat this any day! and Yuri-san just came out with a book! you can get it at Tsutaya Bookstore!it should be right on the front shelf as you go into the food section. it’s about delicious ume recipes so go check it out!
