there was one morning when we woke up to a storm. so many things happened that day. from a indonesian boat shipwreck, to lone survivors, to glassy barrels, to dangerous shell picking, to wet everything. but the good thing is that we really needed the rain water to fill back up the boats water tank. now we can finally take a shower again! Toda-san and Takami-san wondering what to do on this beautiful rainy day.

for me, i love the rain. i love to keep cool, keep wet, and keep calm. the rainy weather and dark days makes me feel so relaxed.

then a few of us went for a storm surf. riding a wave on razor sharp reef with the rain stinging your eyes is exciting! i had fun.

Toda-san brought his drone and took some amazing video. a different angle that only the birds and eagles can see. toda-san just put together a short video of our trip and when i watched it last night, i felt like i was there again. it made me happy, it made me smile, and it made me want to go back into my dream again. i miss that lifestyle.

the video should be uploaded soon so you all can see. Toda-san is just putting the finishing touches with some cool background music. check out this shot from his drone of me riding a perfect wave. stay tuned for much more to come!
and if any of you want to get some drone footage of yourself at your local break or on a dream surf trip, Toda-san will be able to provide you the best service. i’ll get you his information soon. aloha.
