today was yet another beautiful and perfect day for surfing. waves were super clean and fun, weather and water very warm. Moriguchi-san and i had a great time in the ocean riding wave after wave. surprising how uncrowded it was today. where was everybody?

thank you Moriguchi-san for another super fun day. hope you get to surf when you get back to japan. remember to look forward, stand up soon, and turn left! just like you did today. wonderful job!

took this photo last year of the sakura. it was so beautiful. and for the past 21 years, i’ve been seeing this every time i go to shikoku during cherry blossom season. the best time of the year to visit japan!

finally went through the 2000 plus photos from el salvador. here is an epic morning session at a secret beach break where nobody surfs. it was just us and the pelicans. next time i go back, i’m going to spend more time on this beach break getting barrel after barrel. it was perfect!
