the girl on the bottom row second to the left is takami-san. i’ve known takami-san pretty much since the time i went to japan. she was sponsored by local motion and so was i. takami-san use to surf the women’s jpsa tour, then became a jpsa judge, then her and toda-san opened a hula hawaii store in fuji. she’s really smart, really funny, and really happy. always nice to everybody and when ever i go to fuji, she and toda-san take care of me like i’m their younger brother. it feels good to have such caring people around me…
takami-san,
just wanted to thank you for helping making this trip happen, as well as last years. your very organized, very trustful, and very responsible. if it wasn’t for your help, i couldn’t have done it. so wanted to thank you a lot for that. also, thank you for letting me borrow your car in japan, thank you for letting me stay at your house in japan, and thank you for being so nice to me. oh, i’m also glad that you didn’t slam your finger in the door on the boat again and break it. one more year of suffering? no way right. i guess i’ll see you here in hawaii in 2 weeks? let’s go surf and have fun!!!
see you soon,
kirby
