wow! had another awesome day surfing all day long! the waves were good, the surfing was good, and the smiles were good.
Risa-chan and Miko-san caught so many set waves this morning. it was sunny, the rainbows were out, the waves were perfect, and it was just so much fun. then we went to eat mexican food after. omg, we were so full! they hired a professional photographer today so i should be getting the photos soon. stay tuned.
we went to check out diamond head after lunch. the waves were side shore but when the sets came in, it was well overhead. ala moana side was much cleaner and better.
then i went to pick up Akaike-san and Azusa-san for an afternoon session. Akaike-san gets trained by Katsura-san in japan so she’s super strong. both their surfing is getting stronger and better. i was so happy to see them surfing and enjoying the ocean! thank you very much and keep on surfing!
and thank you Akaike-san for the Beach Sound clothes! like i said, this is the first pink jacket i ever got and i’m looking forward to wearing it! watch out for the new bright me!
last, Hiromichi-san sent me this photo of a secret wave in taiwan. thanks for the invite and i’ll surely make it there someday!
after all the wave forecasting, friend reports, and long week of deciding where to go, i finally made up my mind to go to the philippines. just booked my flights but i’m a long way there. i will work tomorrow morning, then come home to grab my surfboard, camera, and computer, then head to the airport. a 9 hour flight to japan, a 3 hour stopover in narita, then another 4 hour flight and i will be in manila tomorrow night. going to get picked up by a friend, and do a week long road trip surfing and discovering new surf spots. probably sleep in the car a few nights, maybe on the beach a few nights, eat what ever we can, try new things, and explore deep into the philippines culture. i’m so looking forward to what ever happens because what ever happens, happens!
