so i’ve been foiling every morning getting in the water before the sun rises. there’s only a few guys out because it takes dedication and discipline to show up that early. so there i was sitting in the middle of my friends talking story. then i look around and i’m sitting in the middle of Jujitsu Black Belt masters. add in a couple jujitsu world champions too. it’s pretty cool to see these guys so humble. the other day had 6, yesterday had 7. 
Carter is one of the Black Belts foilers. calm and cool…
Dane is another Black Belt. no fear in this guy…
Shane is another Black Belt. foiling everyday since he started…
Kaiborg is another Black Belt. he’s also Hawaiian Water Patrol who saves lives around the world. you’re in good hands if he’s in the water because he’s watching everything that’s happening. i’ve been trying for days to get a photo like this of him, without banging into him. and yesterday when the sun came over Diamond Head, i said to him “now’s our chance!” and i got it!
so as i was sitting in the middle of these Black Belts, i was thinking “i hope no ignorant surfer comes up to us and complains about us foiling out there. that would be a nightmare. haha…
