First 2008 Japan Sunrise in Enoshima….

330

good cold thursday morning. gosh, it’s freezing cold right now. cloudy skies and north winds making this feel like winter wonderland. been wearing sweatpants and socks in the daytime at my house.[:???:][:???:][:???:] as for the waves? still onshore and junky on the north shore. looks 3′ out of the north with nobody out at pipe or lani’s. worst winter for waves?? yeah. i think everybody is feeling the same. i wonder what everybody is doing on the north shore? can’t surf or can’t take photos. that sucks. i think it’s going to be a late winter so march and april should be good like last year. so as for now, i’m just being patient and ain’t planning anything for march. want to be here getting barreled. but for now, all i can do is just dream about it…. have a nice day….

check out everybody in japan waiting for the first sunrise of the year at enoshima. must have been beautiful…

yeah, it was beautiful… i’ve been going to japan for many years and haven’t spent a new years there yet. it’s something i want to experience someday. the cool weather with some mochi soup in the morning. sounds unreal… thanks takahiro for the awesome photos….

and wanted to thank dr. sato-san from shikoku for sending me a box of kagawa udon. i’m going to make one today. itadakimasu!!!

and last, wanted to say hi to the morakami family in yugawara…. konnichi wa!!!!
