first, wanted to thank toda-san and takami-san for all the goodies from japan!!!  i’m so happy….  i’m going to snack on oden with a glass of jacksan later tonight….  kanpai!!!

kelia japan update!!!  ok, kelia’s first trip to japan is about 95% a go.  things are falling into place as we’re trying to get her schedule planned.  ticket is booked and if it happens, the dates are august 5-15th.  don’t know exactly where we’ll be but keep you posted.  i can’t wait!!!!  but i know one place i’m taking her for sure, it’s 109 building in shibuya for shopping.  i’ll drop her off there while i go back to shibuya station and visit Hachi-ko.  i’ll probably end up waiting there for a while….

and last, the waves yesterday evening were pretty small.  but if you waited for the right one, you could ride it for a long time…..

this japanese girl had some really good ones.  as she was riding this wave, i was thinking to myself, “gosh, imagine coming from japan to hawaii and surfing a really long and fun wave with 3 other surfers as the sun goes down?”  that’s how it was yesterday evening.  if i came from japan, i’d be stoked.  i live in hawaii and i’m still stoked…  enjoy the ride!!!
