wake up at 5am. pick up the gang. head to haleiwa. 3-5′ and perfect. 1 surfer out. we hurry and wax our boards. naoka on my 6’8, me on my 6’4. the waves get bigger and bigger. the current gets stronger and stronger. the crowd gets heavier and heavier. we catch our waves and are totally satisfied by 8:15am. a great way to start off the day. we watch pipeline, we visit wade tokoro, we eat poke bowls, we say goodbye. i work on my computer. no it’s dinner time. better get going. have a wonderful evening.
this is my lovely go-naminori team. ryosuke is our salesman, naoka is our web designer, and miwa-san is our translator. i’ve known naoka ever since go-naminori started 6 years ago. i’ve know ryosuke and miwa-san for a short time. the the main purpose of this go-naminori convention in hawaii is to get to know each other better. it’s been 3 days together and i think we all get along pretty well both in and out of the water. we all drove to the north shore in the dark and circled the island. surf, eat, laugh, and smile. that’s what go-naminori is all about. thank you ryosuke for your hard work in pushing go-naminori to the world. thank you naoka for your 24/7 hard effort in keeping this site running smoothly. and thank you miwa-san for translating our go-naminori blogs. we are surfers, we are young, and we are going to rule the world! haha. see you again tomorrow.
sunny garcia is a good friend of mine. i love this guys personality ONLY on land. in the water, he’s a different person. a friend, but a friend that doesn’t like to share waves. he sits out the farthest and catches the best waves. when ever i see him at backdoor, i don’t even bother to paddle out, like this morning. there were only 1 good wave every 20 minutes at backdoor and guess who was on ALL of them? yup, mr. sunny garcia.
ok, my go-naminori email is finally working again. thank you naoka and ryosuke for fixing it. all my emails from a week ago disappeared. it’s like somebody stealing my mail from my mailbox for a week. i just hope that nothing important was sent to me because only the people in cyber space will be able to find it.
