One of a Kind….

291


we pulled up to suicides yesterday and the waves were absolutely going off. the locals were calling it a 9 out of 10 which only happens a couple times a year. it felt so good to surf in crystal blue water barrels. i had a great session. thanks kinsan for the photo….

this is kimura-san and kazubo-san. if it wasn’t for these 2 guys, i wouldn’t be in okinawa right now. last night, omine-san asked me if i were to compare kazubo-san to any hawaiian back in hawaii, who would it be? i told him, “you can’t compare kazubo-san to anybody else in the world. kazubo-san is one of a kind!! if this world was filled with people like kazubo-san, it would be perfect!!!” and i know that everybody would agree with me…..

okinawa style is “after a great surf with friends, you buy some beers and drink it with friends.” i asked okinawan bikini model friend to join us but she told me she was busy working. umm, maybe next time….

and last, if you come to okinawa, you have to have a good sense of humor. at any point in time, your going to see the craziest things. we use to play “spin the bottle” in hawaii. it’s a game where you spin a beer bottle around and who ever it stops at, drinks. in okinawa, they play spin the penis. you spin the penis around and if it stops and points to you, you drink. sorry if this photo offends anybody but i’m just sharing you a traditional okinawan drinking game…. so if you ever see somebody pull this out in a bar, run away…. haha…
**just wanted to say thank you to all the okinawan boys last night. i had a blast talking about surfing, diving, fishing, and life. you all have warm hearts and i feel so welcomed here. the mensore spirit makes me feel right at home. see you boys again tonight??? [:?????????:][:?????????:]
