i was foiling on the North shore on a pretty big and challenging day. i was the only foiler out for about an hour and was wondering if anyone else was going to paddle out and take the big wave challenge too. then here comes Fabian! 
then Robbie comes pumping out to the lineup. i’ve been surfing with these guys for decades so seeing them paddle out on a big day was pretty cool. we all wanted the challenge and got to experience it together. it was just us foiling that day. if it wasn’t for foiling, i wouldn’t have seen these guys in years.
when we got back to the beach, we shook hands, said goodbye, and i know i’ll see these guys again very soon. Jurassic Park is going to be super good tomorrow. see you boys there!
i came home after a long day and turned on the tv. OMG, The Sound of Music was on! this has to be my all time favorite movie when i was a kid. i memorized every single song word by word. so yes, i was singing out loud and i never forgot how to sing it!
someday i will visit Austria and run down a hill singing “The Hills are Alive!” that’s always been my dream. 
want to thank Chichan for sending me this cool photo from Hookipa, Maui. isn’t nature amazing?
