the swell is coming down but everybody is still happy. i surfed 2x today. one at 5am and one at 5pm. low tide surf, and high tide foil. dream life…i remember last Summer when my Indonesian friend Tim invited me on his new boat. this is his new boat. or should i say, this was his new boat. since Japan can’t film new dramas because of the coronavirus, i heard they are replaying old ones. my friend sent me this and i was so happy to see Tokiwa Takako! she knows that i loved her character. “Aishiteru to utte kure” is my all time favorite Japanese drama. i learned how to speak Japanese watching this drama. and i became Tokiwa Takako’s number one fan. if i saw her in person, i would probably melt…i had this photo sitting on my desktop. it is of Seira-chan on one of her very first free dives. she was so calm, so cool, and so relaxed. i can look at these kinds of photos over and over. it’s just so beautiful!
