5 surfers on one wave is the norm these days. just to paddle out to Bowls, you have to pass by Inbetweens. filled with beginners and longboard girls so it’s like driving on the opposite side of the freeway. dodging people and praying not to get run over. that’s why nobody can complain out there when i foil because if they do, i can just say “eh, you’re more dangerous than me.” haha…driving home and found out there was a screwdriver in my tire! OMG, air was leaking out and i’m not even sure how long it was like this. thank goodness i learned on the job how to fix a flat tire from working at a gas station. so i always keep the repair kit in the car…in less than 5 minutes, i can fix any tire. so easy…so happy to see Mai-chan over at Nishizeko-san’s surf shop in Ise. omg, Mai-chan is pregnant!!! so happy for her! congratulations girl!
