OMG, pipeline was as perfect as it gets yesterday for the pipeline pro contest. some amazing rides and amazing memories. a contest that will go down in the history books of professional surfing.
so happy to meet the coolest people every day. Sayoko-san surfed so good yesterday. i hope she enjoyed her first trip to hawaii and will come back again.
when ever i surf with someone for the first time, i always start from the very basics of surfing. once the basics are down, the rest is just too easy. great job Sayoko-san! and when people tell me they caught the longest waves in their lives, i’m very satisfied!
and the kuri-manjyu from sendai is awesome! thank you Sayoko-san! keep warm and keep on surfing sendai!
surfed with Seigo-san a couple of days ago. so good to see the wakayama warm smile here in hawaii. can’t wait to go eat your maruyata ramen!
Seigo-san borrowed my magic longboard and rode some magic long waves. what an awesome session.
and Seigo-san’s wife Erika-san did a great job too. super stoked to share the beautiful waves of hawaii with everyone!
stand up, keep your knees bent, and look forward. perfect example of surfing by Erika-san.
i always tell everybody not to look down. but surfing above turtles is hard to keep your eyes off them. i love nature, and i love hawaii!
