omg, just found this book in my closet. i haven’t seen it for 10 years! Happy 60th Birthday in Mentawai 2009. it was Tokura-san’s special birthday that everybody that was there will remember for a lifetime. all photos by Kenji Sahara…
all i remember was surfing perfect HT’s and Rifles with only a few out. barreling every single day and partying every single night…
diving every single day and eating sashimi every single night…
look how young and slim Toda-san was! so cool!!!
i just remember that trip being probably the best boat trip ever! barrels of fun!
pulling up to HT’s in the afternoon and the waves started to get perfect. Tokura-san paddles out in the evening on his 60th birthday. a set comes straight to him, he turns, paddles in, and gets the best barrel of the day! i’ll never forget that moment and ever since then, that has become my dream when i turn 60. going on a boat and getting barreled with friends. a priceless moment…
it was a party at sea. only the best of friends enjoying the best of times…
i’ve been with Dove Wetsuits since 1992. that’s pretty much Dove for life…
