Two Countries = ONE

314

ever since we started Go-Naminori, i’ve met the coolest people in the world. some old friends, some new friends, and some strangers. it’s pretty cool when people walk up to you and say “hey, your the go-naminori guy, or hey, your the you tube guy.” it’s also kind of funny because some of these people i’ve never met before in my life know more than me than i do. i’ve always wanted to build a bridge between Hawaii and Japan and i think it’s happening. two countries i love becoming ONE. if your from hawaii, you will love japan. and if your from japan, you will love hawaii. and until you find that out, i will help you understand why.

as i was walking up to my airplane at narita airport, this guy approached me and asked to take a photo. takeda-san is a hard core Go-Naminori/YouTube fan. he was kind, smiling, and so excited to go to hawaii.
Takeda-san,
Thank you for checking out my blog and youtube vids.
It was really nice meeting you at the airport.
I’m sorry we couldn’t talk more.
I hope you had a great time in Hawaii.
Too bad we couldn’t meet in the water.
I’m glad you got to meet Local Motion Maki-san.
Maybe next time we can all surf together and I can put you on the youtube too.
Thanks for the photo as it will help me remember the nice guy i met in japan.
Keep on Surfing and always SURF YOUR DREAM!!!!
Go-Naminori Forever!
Aloha,
Kirby
