Full Moon Aipa

189

woke up at 3am, checked the waves, and decided to go moonlight surfing.  this was the last supermoon of the year so i wanted to take advantage of that.  i passed by the Hilton Waikikian and there was only one light on.  i wonder who that was?

i love full moon surfing because it’s so peaceful.  nobody will be out, you use the moonlight to see the waves, and the rest is by feel.  my first 3 waves were in the pitch dark surfing perfect chest high Bowls.  riding my Aipa twin fin flying down glassy walls all alone.  i was so stoked that i was screaming the whole way.  i’m pretty sure you could have heard my from the parking lot.  haha.  then at 6:30am, i came in and was totally satisfied.  i can’t wait to do it again next month!!!

Nao-san sent me these photos from Shibuya.  one of the most busiest cities in the world is not so busy right now…

this is the same bus station where i jumped on a bus heading to nowhere back in 1992.  i remembering going with the flow.  i use to get lost on purpose so i could learn to speak Japanese.  it worked well.  i hope Japan will reopen soon because i miss the food, culture, and my friends so much…
