did i ever tell you the story about one evening in the Maldives? had a couple beers and took the jetski over to an island pretty far away. we were taking photos and picking shells. next thing i know, i look at the ski and it was on the sand! the tide dropped super fast and the ski was on dry sand. omg! i tried to push it off but couldn’t. luckily Satoko is a very strong woman because if it wasn’t for her helping me, we would have been stuck on the island for sure. haha. funny times…
someplace i wouldn’t mind getting stuck is right here. surfing with friends, and enjoying the beautiful view of Mt. Fuji. i use to do this every year and can’t wait to start doing it again soon. say hello to the Fuji Boys!
and i wouldn’t mind getting stuck on a boat exploring the Indian Sea again. once again, i was on the beach picking shells watching our crew getting epic surf. what was i thinking???
being on so many boat trips, i learned how to master popping up and getting towed. it looks super easy, but it’s actually pretty hard. i’ve seen super good surfers and waterman having trouble popping up. you need good timing, and you also need a good boat driver. 
and when you figure it out, you probably can foil pretty easily. and this is so much fun!!!
