**takayuki wakita is putting japanese big wave surfers on the map. he takes off deeper than anybody else at pipeline, he’s an eddie aikau invitee, and also a invitee for the upcoming contest in tahiti. only a few in the world are invited and if your one of them, it’s a pretty big honor. Go-Wakita!!!
what if the waves at Teahupo’o are this big? if i got invited, i would say “thanks, but i think my foot is broken. maybe next time.” haha…..

it was nice to see dream mentawai tour II member maoh toda today. looked like somebody beat him up. his eyes were black and he told me that he’s been using this new product that keeps the glare out of your eyes. really?
UV face stick in black. i better get one too because my eyes are freaking burning from this hot sun….
