2010 Pipeline Women's Pro

217


for most free divers or fisherman, catching one GT in a lifetime is a treasured memory. it took me years and years to get my first one and i will never forget that day. this day, kyle and i got 3. another day i will never forget. a photo like this will make a lot of divers jealous. gomenasai….

when i go on trips, i don’t like planning things out in too much detail because you never know what you’ll come across. i like to go with the flow and when you go with the flow, you can experience things that you could never imagine. we were on our drive back from taiji to wakayama city. it was a long 4 hour drive along a beautiful river. then we come across this hot water onsen lake? what? the whole river of hot water? it was weird. along the huge river that went for miles and miles was hot spots. yeah, some places let up onsen style steam and hot springs that make parts of the river piping hot. even too hot to walk on the rocks. anyway, we pulled over, sat around, soaked our tired feet, got back to our long drive. it was a bonus treat that could never be planned in any itinerary…. remember, the key is to go with the flow. and if you can’t do that, you won’t be able to travel with a guy like me…

well, after all the rumors of the women’s pipeline pro being on, off, on, off, on, off…. it’s decided!! ON!!!
April 5-19 2010 with one day of competition. so all you girls, get your entries in because they will probably have a limit of competitors. wish you all the best of luck!!!
