good evening. i haven’t done this in a long time but i want to thank everyone for checking out go-naminori. it feels good to know that a lot of people around the world check out go-naminori. it feels good to connect people together. and it feels good to know that people can come to a happy and positive place at a click. when i think about things, my circle of friends tripled because of this site. i’ve met so many great people and i’m looking forward to meeting more. i also want to thank all the people involved. our bloggers, our staff, and all the people we feature on our site. july 1, 2012 made 6 years! yeah, 6 years of happiness. how time flies! i’m super stoked to be a part of this team and family. let’s keep growing, let’s keep on smiling, and let’s keep on surfing! aloha to you all!
13 years ago on my first trip to the mentawai’s, i remember pulling up to HT’s and nobody was around. it was just the jungle and you. now days, it can get pretty crowded so you have to time it right. we got it one day with just our boat. then another day with 6 other boats and 40 people in the lineup. after seeing that, i told myself that i would never go back to HT’s again. i’d rather surf somewhere else with just our crew.
wanted to welcome Satsuki-san from Okinawa to Hawaii. great surfer, great smile, and lots of aloha. it’s good to see okinawan people in hawaii because mensore and aloha go hand in hand.
Satsuki-san bottom turn at Bowls!
wanted to wish Inaida-san and Yuki-san a safe trip back to japan. had a wonderful time sipping champagne, eating good food, surfing giant waves, sunsets, smiles, and laughs. cheers to you from my future condo! haha.
