Hello Typhoon 15

253

i had planned a trip to japan leaving tomorrow. last week, there was no swell on the way so i was thinking of going to sightseeing or free diving on the flat days. then all of a sudden, typhoon 15 popped out of nowhere. now i’m in surfing mode! going to look for the best waves in japan. stay tuned! jumping on a flight in a few minutes on standby and hopefully get a business class seat. wish me luck!

when ever i take people surfing in hawaii, safety is the most important thing on my mind. i’m always thinking of how to get the ultimate ride without anybody getting hurt or beaten up. yeah, you have the reef to worry about, you have the current, you have the other surfers, you have your own board, and you have the angry locals. i’m watching for it all and if something looks dangerous, i’ll pull everything back. but if everything goes well, get ready for the ride of your life!

and to my friends who wanted to invest in facebook stocks when they first sold, you should come to my house and thank me. haha. i was totally against it and guess what? if you bought stocks, you would have lost your house already. shares are down 51% and 28 year old Zuckerberg’s in a big hole. can he dig himself out? we shall see. in the mean time, invest your money by putting it under your pillow.
hopefully have some good movies on the plane. once i get to japan, i’m going to be a busy person. dinners, meetings, driving, and surfing! sayonara hawaii and hello japan!
