wanted to thank Nanami-san for sending me these photos of the last swell. i remember pulling up to the beach and seen huge waves. normally a surf lesson would be cancelled but not this one. the 2 young boys came to hawaii for an experience and this was the day to make it happen. they were so nervous!

had a big TV shoot last week with a comedian from osaka. Masuda-san and made me laugh the whole entire session. i can’t wait to see it come out on TV. i’m sure you will laugh too! Ishikawa-san on the right is such a cool guy and great surfer. i love working with him. thank you both for a memorable day!
