woke up this morning and looked at the waves, so beautiful! but since i’m in the water everyday, i went golfing instead.

Nomura-san is one of the best sports trainers and stretchers in japan. a super cool guy with lots of talent. it was my first time golfing with him so i was looking forward to it.

i suck at golf! i use to be pretty good, but now i suck because i don’t play anymore. after some bad shots, i started to stress out and wonder “what the heck am i doing here?” i forgot how frustrating golf can be. and after today, i don’t think i’ll ever play again. i love my ocean stress free life.

Nomura-san is a really good golf player. he helped me with my swing and also kicked my ass in the game.

i didn’t realize how far golf has come. the equipment is so high tech and so expensive! here is Nomura-san’s golf set. big bucks!

and here is mine. when i pulled it out, Nomura-san told me “wow, those are some antiques.” haha. so old, do dirty, and so rusty. no excuses, but that doesn’t help my game. i ended up losing, we ate lunch, and went for a surf. as i was rode my first wave, all the golf stress went away. never again.

and had a wonderful dinner at Gaku last night. i haven’t eaten good sushi in a while so this platter made by Manabu-san melted in my heart.
another long day with great experiences. great people, great waves, great rides, and great news. everybody is happy, so am i!
