wanted to say hello to these barrels watersports girls from osaka. they all started surfing earlier this year and their lives will never be the same. go girls!!! and also wanted to say thank you to my sponsor and long time friend ishino-san for putting together a great event and bringing everybody closer together. it was like a big happy surfing family and i’m glad to be a part of it. and also wanted to thank everybody at barrels for the wonderful contest and wonderful barbecue party. especially funakoshi-san for playing ukulele live for us. listening to your hawaiian ukulele songs made me get chicken skin. and sorry i didn’t sing “honolulu city lights” with you. i didn’t want to ruin the party.. haha… you did a great job and can’t wait to listen to your music again… [:????$B”L(B?:][:????$B”L(B?:][:????$B”L(B?:]
