i had to go to Ala Moana Shopping Center today and i was very surprised to see so many stores closed! this place use to thrive with high end stores. not anymore…
it’s pretty sad to see the effects of the pandemic. lost jobs, lost income, lost taxes, and lost dreams…
even William Sonoma closed! omg! 
when you do a downwind foil, the further out to sea you are, the better. i’m pretty far out but should have been even further out. so the trick is to pump out as far as possible because the waves get bigger once you’re out there. BUT, if you fall, you have to paddle all the way back to the waves. that’s not fun at all. i know a couple places in Japan that i can do this so that’s why i’m practicing. if the winds are right, i think i can ride the swells along Shonan or Chiba for miles… that’s my goal…
