what another great day of surfing! Kosuke-san and Atsusa-san tried to surf before but couldn’t stand up. so i guess you couldn’t call that surfing. so today was revenge! they both stood up, rode long waves, and had a great time. i was so happy to be part of their first real surfing experience. shaka!

people ask me why i travel. i travel because i want to experience different cultures and learn different techniques. and after absorbing all the experiences, i take a little of every culture and implement it into my life. i guess that’s why i’m living such a simple life because everything in third world countries are just plain simple. all i need is my surfboard and boat, then everything will be ok.

this is indonesia style construction on a remote island in timor. everything made by hand. hard working and no complaining. after seeing people work so hard for so little money, i never complain about my job and i give it my 100% all the time.
