Uluwatu Foil Barrel Contest

229

this is how i almost lost my gopro yesterday.  the floaty came off when i was riding a wave.  and i still can’t believe i found it on the bottom of this huge ocean… Toda-san said he caught a wave that was like Uluwatu!  this must have been it?  haha… as for me, i was on my foil checking out the barrels at Bowls.   i tried to pull into one of them and almost!!!  got my head wet but that’s about it.  next time i’m getting in!   do you know how scary and dangerous it is to pull into a barrel?  yeah, please don’t remind me because i’m trying to be calm… i was thinking about teaching Seira-chan how to foil.  and i think she will be able to do it so easily… but for now, she’s having too much fun surfing so i don’t want to see her go through the frustrations we did when learning how to foil.  haha..    life is really good for all of us.  Toda-san and i know how to enjoy life and this beautiful world.  so now we have to teach it to the next generation…  before i move on, check out our early morning session today!!!  the waves were going off again and Seira-chan was ripping!   i was kind of bummed that i couldn’t go to the Surf Ranch to see Seth surf.  but Tony and my brother are there so i’m getting instant updates.  here is Seth surfing the fake wave like a real one… there are 2 barrel sections so this wave is made for Seth.  i’m pretty sure he will get the deepest barrels of the competition.  i feel sorry for the big guys…   i always believed that Seth would be good at what ever he does.  so to see him rated higher than 11x World Champion on the WCT tour, i’m not surprised at all.  i knew this day would come.  and i know Kelly Slater isn’t as happy as i am.  haha…
