such a small world! we seen Japanese Legend surfer Abe-san this morning at breakfast. i met Abe-san in Oiso a very long time ago in Japan. he’s always been so kind and so cool. amazing surfer and amazing legend! stopped by this Thai restaurant for lunch today. i ordered the baby octopus salad with fried sardines. it was delicious! and only $7. we have this free fruity water in the lobby of our hotel. between the 4 of us boys, we must drink about 5 of these per day. that’s including filling up our flasks. haha… tonight’s dinner was escargot. super rich and super buttery. my main course was the lamb shank. so tender and juicy. Tony and i foiled 5 sessions on this trip. it’s mostly just the 2 of us flying around like little kids in a big ocean playground…i’ve been practicing my cutbacks. it’s one of the scariest thing to do!!! got my new foil toys today from Signature Foils. it’s looking super sweet!!! and my new full carbon board was hand delivered by longtime friend Mike Woo. i can’t believe the high quality of this rocket! i can’t wait to ride my new foil setup once i get back to Hawaii! right now, i’m packing my board bags and getting ready for the 2 day travel back to Hawaii. i’m actually a little homesick so i’m looking forward to returning to paradise… see you guys soon!
