Shimanchunu Takara B-day!

301

gosh, it’s been 3 years to the day since i celebrated Kimura-san and Kinsan’s birthday in okinawa. i remember surfing a typhoon at that time, then running around the place with my video camera taping everybody’s b-day message. a great memory for me! these are our friends and family in our world! all surfers, all happy, and all forever!
Happy Birthday Kimura-san and Kinsan, wanted to wish you a wonderful birthday today! i said it 3 years in this video that you both have played an important part in my life. and i’ll say it again today. if it wasn’t for both of you, i wouldn’t be the lucky person i am today. the friends i’ve met, the places i’ve been, and all the wonderful experiences will never be forgotten. thank you both from the bottom of my heart. i hope you both have another wonderful year in surfing, drinking, laughing, and everything else! i-ya-sa-sa!!!!
watching this video again makes me laugh, makes me cry, and makes me smile.
