5 years ago go-naminori did a drive thru in japan and one of our stops was at Ieki-san’s grape and pear farms in kyotango. Ieki-san has been a go-naminori supporter and a friend for many years. we’ve known each other for a very long time and i really respect him as a hard core surfer and a very fine gentlemen. this photo was taken 5 years ago.

then i went to pick up the girls and went to longboard ala moana. gosh, the waves were absolutely perfect! it felt like we were in our own world. more laughs and more smiles.
ended up surfing for not that long today. only 5 hours. haha. it’s 8:45pm and past my bedtime. not only my body is sunburnt, my eyes are sunburnt too. going to drink ice cold water to cool down, close my eyes, dream, and do it all over again tomorrow. good early night.
