It’s been really beautiful these past days. Clear sky, nice waves, and cool trade winds. 
One of my local friends said “wow, your friend has such a good surfing style!” I told him, “yes, Taro Tamae is a style master in the mountains and the ocean.” 
The pioneer of Surf/Snow. Taro-san took me deep in the back country of Niseko 30 years ago. When I saw him take his first drop from the peak in the chest high deep powder snow, I couldn’t believe what I saw. The biggest carves on the steepest drops throwing powder sprays 20′ in the air. I will never forget that magical moment. 
We had a great surf session. Talking about traveling, snow, surf, fishing, friends, and life. 
Always nice to surf with you Taro-san! 
Summer is here. Sunny and offshore all day long…
