Old and Early…

195

the older i get, the earlier i wake up.  i guess that’s a good thing because i cherish these moments while most people are still sleeping…and when a young surfer starts to fall in love with these moments, they will live a happier and healthier life.since i can’t travel, i can only reminisce.  Kimura-san, Eri-chan, Naoka, Kyle, and i getting ready for a room party deep in Wakayama.  i think we were pretty loud that night.  haha.  i miss trips like this…19 years ago we caught a huge swordfish on a boat trip in Indonesia.  it was on the way back from an amazing trip so that was the icing on the cake…Fiji Boat Trip:  if it wasn’t for Tokura-san, i’d probably be a salaryman in Tokyo.  i guess you can say that he saved my surfing career, and also probably saved my life.  i never forget the people that changed my life so much.  i’m a very happy man today because of him…
