i was craving Marutaya Ramen so badly!!! thank goodness i got to go eat some. from the first spoon to the last, i was in heaven.
and only here you will find saba sushi on the table.
and a really big fresh egg.
Marutaya Ramen in wakayama is the best ramen in the world!
hanging out at Kaisers Surf Shop with old friends, and new friends. it’s amazing how small this surfing world is. look at all these beautiful people!
one thing i don’t really care for anymore is riding crowded trains in the hot and humid weather. sweating all day long.
welcome back typhoon 12! i left hawaii and it looked promising. then all of a sudden, it disappeared 2 days ago! then today, it reappeared! the perfect typhoon course for some amazing waves coming up in the next few days. i use to change my schedule by the day, but this time, i’m changing it by the hour. i’m on standby mode sitting in my hotel waiting for the call to the best place in japan. and when i get that call, i’m on a train, bus, airplane, or surfboard. any way to get some amazing barrels. see you there!
and wanted to thank Michi-san for the wonderful snacks!
and also wanted to thank Abe-san from Ishinomaki for the treats! perfect for my chazuke!
these are cool too. thank you Abe-san! hope to see your super surfing again soon!
