good evening. gosh, after such a beautiful day yesterday, today was terrible. rain, cold, and dark. i’ve been in japan for 10 days and i didn’t surf yet. i got new boards waxed up and everything ready to go. but no waves to ride it on. i hope we can get a session in before we head back to osaka tomorrow. tony and seth are heading home. lucky them… i miss the warm weather, surf, and sun…. tony told me that micah is complaining about waist high kewalo’s today. gosh, if he only knew….. i’m glad seth knows how it is and he can go home and talk some sense into him…. have a great evening. good night….
all the boys except for seth left shikoku this morning. all of a sudden, it’s so quiet around here. i rather have it loud. these kids are all good kids. their surfing really impressed me and their futures are so bright. i can’t wait to see them all develop into men. what ever path they choose to take, they will all succeed…. strong minds succeed….
after i came in from stand up paddling, i walked on the beach and saw seth’s name drawn into the sand. i thought that was pretty cool….
surfing is fun but after a while, the kids were starting to get bored. so they grabbed the longboard and fooled around. i could hear them screaming and yelling in the water from the beach. it was classic….
shikoku has the best japanese pizza shop in the entire japan. it’s on a side street and you won’t be able to find it unless some local takes you there. it’s called “nonami” and i love it there….
after a night of drinking, ramen is the closer. especially when it’s so dam cold like how it’s been. this is a ramen shop in osaka we went to after the barrels party. i’m really glad i ate it because it put me to sleep. and with 7 guys piled in a van for a 5 hour drive, sleeping is the best thing to do….
wouldn’t you want to sleep after something as ono as this???? lights out…. i’m a ramen lover. i drive hours and hours to eat ramen in japan. there is no place in hawaii that even comes close to the ramen here. if you want real ramen, you have to come to japan…..
