got a few good waves for myself too. snuck out to the lineup at bowls and got 2 epic head high sets! my board is working good and my body is working good too. i just love it when the spray comes off the tail like this.

Hirano-san surfs and fishes for his hobby. he has 2 boats in japan so we had lots to talk about these past 2 days. ate a healthy sandwich for lunch, ate some mochi ice cream, surfed 2 rounds, went shopping, and had lots of laughs. thank you Hirano-san for the great time. i hope to be so energetic like you when i get to be 55 years old! keep on surfing.
