**good saturday morning. wind is blowing outside. i drove by the beach yesterday around noon and the waves were 2′ and pretty good. then the strong off shore winds blew it down to flat by the evening. weird? well, been getting the emails from my friends in hawaii saying the waves are going off on the south shore. 2-4′ and perfect glassy barrels. thanks guys. you really made my day. now i’m going to drive an hour to the beach, pay $10 to park my car, put on my full wetsuit and boots, surf knee high waves in dirty cold water, then pay $2 for a shower, then drive an hour home. you guys really pissed me off… haha… but i love japan. after you guys surf in town, go eat mcdonalds. i’m going to eat sashimi, miso soup, and rice. how’s that??? have a nice day…. and derek, glad your back in the water surfing. your super stoked again and i can feel it in your emails. pure stoke. keep on surfing!!!
