The waves finally came up again. Chest high sets and perfect! 
So stoked to surf with Udagawa-san. He’s been surfing for 30 years so we had a lot to talk about. Super cool guy who knows a lot about Japanese surfing culture and mannerism.
Nice ride and nice man!
Look how beautiful it looks duck diving a wave. 
Lance Hookano is more Hawaiian than he looks. A big guy with a bigger heart. 
My dream was always to connect Hawaii to Japan. The 3 of us combined have over 140 years of surfing experience so that’s a lot of connection. 
There are turtles everywhere. I’ve been seeing over 5 a day, sometimes more. 
After surf, I went to my nieces house to pick fresh fruits. Tangerines and avocados. Smells so sweet!
