i couldn’t believe how beautiful yesterday morning was. the red sky sunrise was awesome. the night before, i asked Nakamoto-san if he wanted to sunrise surf, he said yes, and it was a great choice.

Nakamoto-san hasn’t surfed for a while because the waves have been flat at his home break Isounora. but yesterday, he made up for the last 2 months as he rode about 30 waves from start to finish.

i gave Nakamoto-san all my recommendations of places to eat these past 2 years. he went to all of them. so i took him even deeper into our local culture. the best poke, roast pork, and local food in town.

and local style is eating on the sidewalk. had a great morning session with Nakamoto-san. thank you for joining me for the red sky surf session!

then i went home, checked the flights, and found out that the rest of the week is oversold. so it’s either stuck in hawaii? or jump on a flight that leaves in 2 hours for nagoya. i was packed in a few minutes and ready to go. front and back packs.

got to nagoya, was tired, so decided to spend the night. jumped on a couple of trains, and headed to an apartment in the residential area.

thank you Yuki-san in nagoya for letting me stay at your apartment. i really liked it and will be back again!
slept 3 hours, woke up at 4am, and had another long adventure. that’s another story. going to take my much needed nap before my wonderful dinner in tokyo tonight.
