omg, today was another beautiful long day. i knew it was going to be action packed so i took my go pro. but when i turned it on, the battery was dead. the only thing i don’t like about the go pro is the on/off button is sensitive so sometimes it turns on when it’s in your pocket. then it doesn’t shut off automatically so the battery just dies. it happened 3x already and i’m super bummed for the 3rd time because today i could have got some amazing photos.

we had an awesome 3.5 hour session this morning. went out at sunrise and surfed so many waves. just wave after wave and it was super nice and pretty empty. then we went to eat pho to fill up our hungry stomachs. then malasadas after.

the boys arms couldn’t paddle much longer after all the surfing we’ve been doing so we went to use our legs and lungs to go free diving. the conditions were perfect and the water was super clean.

Seigo-san’s first fish!!! we dove about 40′ or 13 meters and Seigo-san could go all the way to the bottom. i was pretty impressed with his skill level on his first spearfishing experience. next time i go to wakayama, we’re going to go free dive and eat free fish!

i managed to get 2 fish today. one for me, and one for a friend. that’s all we need.
thank you Seigo-san and Yuki-san for the wonderful past 3 days. i had a great time and great experiences. hope you have a great trip back to wakayama and i’ll see you either in the ocean, or at marutaya. miss your ramen!
