good evening. it took me almost 10 hours to get here since i left the beach hotel in okinawa. car, airplane, train, train, train, and car. and the whole time with my heavy camera bag, 25 kilo suitcase, and surfboard bag. my injured shoulder was in pain the whole way but it was worth it. why? because i woke up in front of the most beautiful mountain in the world, mt. fuji….
i left the beach hotel and was so happy to see everybody come down to say goodbye. the goodbye is always the hardest part of any trip. it was actually kind of sad leaving….
i wanted to thank miki-chan from island message diving for taking me to the airport. she even carried all my baggage to the check in counter. i really really appreciate it!!! thanks miki-chan…
if you ever have time to kill at naha airport. go to the arrival 1st floor and right outside of the door to the left is an okinawan soba shop. i love it there. all this for 850 yen…
then i came to the best fish restaurant in shizuoka. check out these magura kama? and to think that people in hawaii throw it away. what a waste..
**i’m downloading the photos i took today so stay tuned tomorrow. the waves were fricken going off!! i couldn’t be patient anymore. i paddled out, caught 3 waves in pain. i pretty much took off with one hand and even got barreled. my body feels even more sore now but it was worth it. i feel great!!! demo itai!!!
