welcome to winter in hawaii. it’s pretty dam cold and doesn’t get colder than this. i’m wearing sweatpants, sweatshirt, socks, and i’m still cold at night. still warmer than 0 degrees japan so can’t complain.
finally downloaded the photos of my trip. on my first night in tokyo, i was lucky to eat a special order leg of a ham. aged 3 years and by far the best ham i’ve ever eaten in my life. this is fine dining japanese style! i wish i can have another piece.
everybody loves japanese candy. thank you Toda-san!
when we where checking the waves in taiwan, Mori-san got out his Steiner Navigator binoculars. one look into the german made $2,000 binoculars, i could see for miles away. clear and crisp. now i know what i’m buying myself for christmas!
woke up this morning expecting chest high waves. i was wrong! it was overhead and perfect! i went to surf bowls and got so many perfect long barreling waves. one of my best sessions of 2014. so stoked!
coming off an airplane and paddling out into warm water yesterday felt so good. i really expected the waves to be super small but i was still excited. especially when i seen head high sets and perfect conditions!
teaching kids how to surf is so rewarding. watching them getting better and better makes me as happy as they are.
and once you can duck dive, you will see another beautiful world.
i planned to go out and catch a couple of waves but it was so good that i didn’t want to come in. perfection! it’s been a very lucky year for me when it comes to getting good waves. i hope that luck continues forever!
from japan to taiwan to japan to hawaii. sunset after sunset after sunset. the best way to end a perfect day!
