Sharp Needle Fish

28

Had a great morning session with Okamoto-san.  The waves were actually really fun.  Trade winds are back so the swell was much bigger than the past few days.

Super cool guy that loves to surf!

It felt so good to feel the cool trade winds again.  It’s been a while so the air is clean, and so is the ocean.

The other day as Toshimi-san was sitting on her surfboard, a school of needle fish came darting right towards her.

One ended up hitting her and landing on her surfboard.  Then it was just as shocked as we were so it didn’t move for a while.

Then it woke up again and wiggled itself off the surfboard.  A few months ago in Indonesia, one of these fish jumped and stabbed a surfer girl right in the heart.  She died a few minutes later.  So yes, these fish are cute, yet could be very dangerous.
