Shizunami: The Perfect Wave

97

I was never interested in wave pools.  Friends have been trying to get me to surf it throughout the years but I always refused.  On this trip, my brother started surfing again after a 10 year break which made me super happy.  He wanted to challenge himself to the expert level at the best wave pool in Japan, so I couldn’t say no to that.  I had no idea what to expect.  

I was pretty surprised how challenging it was.  But after a couple mistakes, it was actually fun.  Would I do it again?  No thank you.  That was my first time, and probably my last time.  I prefer nature and free waves.  Will my brother do it again?  Absolutely!  Haha. Photo by Todaheli 

Came back to Wakayama and went straight to Maruta-ya ramen!  

Then woke up this morning and opened up my Christmas present from DOVE!  I was singing Jingle Bells all day long!!!
