good morning. i’m checking the surf now and the north shore looks junky. town looks really clean now. there is a small south shore swell on the way and it’s supposed to get overhead by tomorrow. bowls looks pretty fun. wow, it’s only been 2 days and i want to surf already. let the stress begin!!! haha. anyway, i’m going to watch a couple more movies today and take it easy. going to my hand surgeon so hope that gets fixed. then i’ll start to venture out from my house. have a nice day!!
can you believe somebody has been trying to use my credit card? yeah, i got a call from my credit card company asking me if i charged something from the apple store. no i haven’t. so now they cancelled it and i’m credit cardless. been waiting for my new one but it didn’t come yet… that sucks….
i just got my surfing world magazine in the mail today. in it was a letter from the staff at surfing world explaining that they will stop publishing the magazine. that’s sad news. after 34 years of recording surfing history in japan, it has come to an end. it’s going to be a big loss for everybody in the surfing industry in japan from your little aspiring surfer, to writers, to photographers, to the whole industry. but one thing i want to say to surfing world is “Thank You” for all the great years. it’s all because of magazines like yours that made it possible for surfers like me to have careers and to live out my dreams. honto ni arigato gozaimashita!!
this was my first surfing world cover shot. the magazine came out in 1997. kondo-san took this photo of me at rocky point. thanks again to every body at surfing world japan!!!
