good morning. best bet for surfing is probably sandy beach again. nothing else to talk about the surf so let’s talk about something else, kelly slater and yoko furuichi….
kelly slater is riding a 5’4 this time. what’s next? kelly slater riding a skateboard in the water? only superman can do that, and kelly is superman. if he wins the contest on the 5’4, another 10,000 surfboards will be shaped the next day. thank you kelly slater for saving our surfboard industry….
yoko furuichi has been doing a blog on go-naminori for the past 2 years or so. i’ve been getting so many emails asking about her and so many friends here in hawaii asking about her too. to tell you the truth, i didn’t know too much about yoko myself. that’s why i always thought of her as “the mystery girl.” i met yoko for the first time a year ago in japan. it was weird because i knew so much about her through her blog, but then again, i didn’t know the real yoko. but now that i know the real yoko, i’ll tell a little about her. she’s a pro longboarder in japan that is beautiful, sweet, energetic, and so fun to be around. i guess it’s her positive thinking and energy that makes her the great person she is. there’s a lot more about her but that’s still a mystery. read her blog and try to figure it out….
i shot her one evening in town. i snapped 298 photos that day and all of them are keepers. yoko’s so photogenic that she looks good in any photo at any angle. makes a photographers job really easy. stay tuned on go-naminori for more photos. anyway, yoko’s off to australia for a longboard contest, then back to japan for the start of the JPSA season. this young, talented, and energetic girl has what it takes to make it to the top. watch out for this upcoming japanese surfer girl…
