Organic Soap Wax

287

i was thinking about going to surf Backdoor the other day.  but when i saw the crowd on the camera, i changed my mind.  there were a hundred hungry surfers hunting down anything that broke.  

for 33 years of my life, i use to surf Backdoor on every single good day.  it use to be crowded like this so it was basically work.  so now, i look at this and say “no thank you, i’d rather foil an ocean all to myself.”  

another photo of 2007.  Kelia was only 14 years old.  

and last night when i went to see Kelia’s baby, i thought how time goes by so fast…

a couple years ago, Eri-chan gave me this in Japan.  i had it and never used it.  so when i went to take a shower last night, i took it, scrubbed it all over my body and hair.  strangely, there were no soap suds.  i thought it was weird but Eri-chan gave me weird organic stuff before so i used it anyway.  then when i was finished with scrubbing my body, i remembered something.  that wasn’t soap, it was wax!!!  omg, i scrubbed my body with surf wax!  haha.  i can’t wait to tell her the story.  haha…
