Handa-san came to Hawaii for the first time, surfed for the first time, and saw a rainbow for the first time. I’m pretty sure he likes Hawaii a lot now. Haha. 
The waves were very clean this morning. Very inconsistent but when a good one came, it was excellent! 
Handa-san is from a secret river mouth in Shizuoka. It’s so secret that I can’t say where it is. It’s somewhere I love to go, I have friends there, and some of my best memories in Japan are from there. I hope to be surfing there this Typhoon season! 
Nice turns and great surfing today! Happy first time to Hawaii day!
