i had such a great time today. took Eiko-san and Maya-san surfing this morning. Maya-san called me before i left my house and asked me “is it ok to surf today? the wind and rain?” haha. there was heavy rain and super winds this morning but it doesn’t matter when you’re in the ocean. so i told her “yeah, it’s ok, let’s go!” i thought it was funny because she was asking a guy that surfs in typhoons if it was ok. haha. anyway, we pull up to the beach and nobody was there! only us storm surfers as we had such a great time. these 2 girls kept me laughing so hard all morning long. and i was super stoked to see them catch so many good waves. thank you Chobo-san from The Shop for sending these 2 wonderful girls my way.

the winds were already strong in the morning but became twice as strong in the afternoon. Team Ina and I paddled out to Rockpiles Rights as nobody was out. the wind picked up, the waves were barreling, and it actually got a little dangerous. taking off was a challenge! i seen Yuki-san take off, the wind caught her nose, and she actually was flying in the air! omg! after that, we decided to paddle in. it was a rough session with lots to be learned. we were all exhausted by the wind, current, and adrenaline. i’m just glad nobody go hurt today.

on the way back to the Nagoya airport, we decided to pull over at the worlds craziest amusement park. i pass by here all the time and refuse to go.

Saito-san and I didn’t want anything to do with that roller coaster so Kosei-san, Kanae-san, and Naoka rode it without us. someday? i don’t think so.

i’m not sure why people don’t have heart attacks on this ride.

anyway, i end up going to the craziest theme park in the world and refuse to ride anything. why? because i’m scared! i haven’t been on a roller coaster in 25 years and i don’t think i will ever go on one for the rest of my life. so everybody please stop trying to get me on one!
more windy weather for the next 2 days. as for me, i’m still going surfing!
