VW Japanese Fishing Boat and Lift…

281

i asked this guy where he got his 1963 Beetle from.  and he told me he bought it in California for $900!  what a deal!

seen something new at the Yacht Club.  this boat looked very familiar!

omg, a Japanese fisherman boat!  i’m guessing this boat drifted to Oahu from Japan because of the Tsunami?  then somebody found it and restored it?

i can’t read Japanese but if you’re a Japanese fisherman and missing your boat, here it is!

when someone asks me to teach them how to foil, i hesitate.  the reason is i know how hard it is and i know how it’s going to break you mentally.  so you have to be strong, committed, and never give up.  Fujiki-san was ready for the challenge…

since it was Fujiki-san’s very first time tow surfing, we started off with a normal surfboard.  and he got up and surfed it well!  not only does he have me as a coach, he has Toda-san too!

then it was foil time and this is normal.  haha.  Toda-san and i love watching this because we know how it feels.  i don’t care how long you surfed or how good you are, this will happen to you all!

but i can respect people that take this challenge because it’s the most challenging thing you will probably ever do in your life.  and once you figure it out, your life will never be the same.  hey Fujiki-san, let’s go try again on Monday!

and thank you Fujiki-san for the treats!

OMG, Mateus is going to be the happiest boy in the world when he sees his present from Fujiki-san!
