So happy to see Namikoshi-san back in Hawaii. This time was for a very special occasion. It’s his 60th birthday today! In Japanese, it’s called “Kanreki.” To be reborn again! 
Red is the color for “kanreki” and Namikoshi-san looked really good in his brand new red Dove Wetsuit. This was his first wave as a reborn 60 year old boy! 
Tokukura-san was reborn a few years ago so he knows that life only gets better. 
It was so cool seeing the 2 boys sharing waves. 
The tide was low so balance was everything. 
Of all the years we surfed together, Namikoshi-san surfed his best! 
Happy birthday again Namikoshi-san! Glad you and Tokukura-san had a great time. Keep on Surfing!
