another day in the ocean with Renta-kun. i’m amazed on how strong this kid is getting. i can see his body getting stronger, and his confidence too. 
the waves were kind of big this morning but Renta-kun isn’t scared at all. he was riding waves all by himself and enjoying the ride like this! 
he must have dove under 50 waves today. no wonder he said he was tired after. haha. but all this training is making this kid 100x stronger physically and mentally. 
good job Renta-kun. i’m super proud of you watching you transform into a surfer boy! 
seen a familiar surfboard so i asked this guy how he got it. he said “from Uncle James.” i told him, “you’re Uncle James is the coolest Uncle in the world.” i’m sure he knows that too because Uncle James is the coolest Uncle in the world. nice to meet you Matthew. 
then picked up Nori-san this afternoon and this was his very first wave at Bowls. omg, the waves were pumping and not too many surfers out. we scored! 
Toda-san and Takami-san arrived in South Sumatra. gosh, i miss this place. and now they have a pool??? wow! 
maybe i’ll go back there someday. but after hearing from them that the water is freezing now, maybe not. haha. a very cold current is passing by Indonesia now so you will need a wetsuit if you go. i felt the coldness before and it’s pretty dam cold… 
want to thank Nagaishi-san for the gift. a new knife! 
the next fish i catch, i’m going to use this knife to make sashimi. can’t wait!
