good morning. 7 am and finally got a good sleep. i think the beer and jacksan helped a lot. not waking up at 3 am feels pretty good and normal. i’m in chiba now and the waves are pretty fun. isaiah and i had a long day yesterday. we surfed warm water up in shonan in the morning. i surfed with trunks and was hot! then the 3 hour drive over to chiba. everybody was telling me the water was cold but i didn’t believe. how could it? so i put on my trunks and went surfing. in 2 minutes, my nipples turned to raisins. if i entered a wet tshirt contest, i would have won for sure… haha.. the water is freezing cold here in chiba. your head is sweating from the 100 degree heat and your balls are freezing from the water. what a weird feeling…. anyway, the waves were good, isaiah was surfing good and actually better than i thought. before he came, i told him he’d better practice because the japanese kids surf good in these conditions. he was ripping and pulling off some big air reverses. tomorrow we’ll find out how he matches up with japan’s top surfers as the junior pro kicks off….
it was good to see hayato, zuccho, jasmin, and hide-san last night. we had a great talk and a really happy evening. i was on beer one when jasmin took this photo of zuccho and i. after a few more beers, taking a photo was the last thing on my mind. but i think hayato and jasmin took some. check their blogs… oh, wanted to thank zuccho for the bottle of jacksan. we loved it! see you at the party on august 14th!!!
jasmin asked me what i wanted to eat. i said “your home cooking.” she spent 3 hours in the kitchen cooking up some of the best lasagna i’d ever eaten….
it was soooo good!!! i ate 2 servings. thanks jasmin…
