good to see Bruce Irons surfing backdoor just like his older brother Andy use to. chicken skin.
Wakita is the surfer that put japanese surfing at pipeline on the world map. always out there on the good days, always getting the deepest barrels, and always smiling. today he has the heat of his life. Ezekiel Lau in the top up comer from hawaii, Jack Robinson is the top up comer from australia, and Kelly Slater is Kelly Slater. i’m cheering for Wakita the whole way! major upset? i hope so!
the whole time the emperor and empress were in the philippines, i was too. it was a historic visit for them, and it was also a historic visit for me. i wish i could have met them for dinner. that would be a dream.
the everyday busy filipino lifestyle. a few cents will get you a ride anywhere on these jeepneys.
and if you pay more, you can have your own taxi. but what it comes down to is traffic is traffic. and the traffic is pretty bad.
want to thank Miwa-san for these photos from Niseko. i wish i could have joined you guys. hope all the boys on the slopes are all good! see you guys soon.
and no, i don’t think i will have the energy to hike up high mountains again, unless someone carries me. haha.
thank you Hikaru-san for sending me this photo of the bb girls of japan on the north shore of hawaii. see you girls soon!
