Toda-san and Takami-san sent me a video of Azumi-san foiling in Ishinomaki.  when i watched it, i was really surprised how good he got so fast!  Azumi-san is a super good surfer with amazing style.  i’m sure he’s a very happy man right now.  only a foiler knows the feeling…
i was laughing and tearing at the same time.  laughing because i know how it feels to complete a ride like this.  and tearing because i know how foiling can open up a surfers life.  it will make you stronger, and also make you very humble.  and it’s very good to feel strong and humbled at the same time.  i can’t even explain how foiling changed my life and most of my foil buddies agree.  as soon as the lockdown is lifted, i’m going to Japan!  i can’t wait to foil with you Azumi-san!  We Are One!
i’m really lucky because during this lockdown, there are no boats in the ocean.  so i can take out Mayuki on any day and find a surf or foil spot all to ourselves.  just anchor her in the back, jump off into a wave, and have the whole ocean to yourself.  it’s days like this that make you love your life even more…
