good morning. shock!! planned a surf trip down south but got the report early this morning. FLAT!!! eeh?? now what? gosh, i feel like surfing so bad. shonan is completely flat. these are the times i miss hawaii. it’s never flat there. oh well, i’m going to head to 7/11 and eat some oden. then sweat. have a nice hot 100 degree day….
tipi from bali sent me this update from padang. and you know what? it doesn’t look too good. i hope the heavy boat didn’t damage the reef too much. if it changed that perfect wave, i myself will go strangle the captain that screwed up….
things like this happens all over the world. even in hawaii. and this isn’t the first time. i’ve seen boats stuck in the lineup at diamond head lighthouse, bowls, and kewalo’s. what a disaster to our beautiful reefs….
we stopped by takami-san and toda-san’s hula hawaii shop in the huge mall at shizuoka. gosh, that shop is awesome. good feeling, good people, and good location. all that equals to good business. last year, they were talking about this dream. this year, it came true. congratulations on such a huge accomplishment.
**by the way, the ASP WCT contest is being held at uluwatu’s if you didn’t know. ripcurl is trying to keep it like a secret location or something by calling it “somewhere in bali”. that somewhere is ulu’s…
*also, my sister is looking for a home for “lucky” the little pig. they won’t be able to raise him along with kalua so if you want to provide a loving home for one dam lucky little pig, please let me know. oink oink… mahalo..
