it was another beautiful day! a day i took off from work to hang out with my awesome friends. we left a little earlier this morning because the morning sessions are always better.
paddled out to perfect glassy conditions. the kind of conditions surfers travel all the way to indonesia for. it’s been like this every single day!
none of us are competing against each other. we just support and encourage each other. cheering on each other from start to finish. here is Naozo-san with the perfect point right.
i’m so happy that i finally grew up and got my priorities right. making the time to spend with my friends was one of my new years resolutions. so far, that’s exactly what i’m doing. and i’m loving each moment.
Miwa-san, Naozo-san, and Takahashi-san are wonderful surfers i’ve known for a very long time. we’ve had some great memories here in hawaii and there in okinawa. cheers friends!
Miwa-san hit the reef and had a lot of sea urchin in her foot. she caught a wave after that and totally forgot about the pain. haha. and i’m sure a cold beer helped too.
then we went to watch the whales. so many all over the place. it’s peak whale watching season in hawaii!
another happy day for Takahashi-san. he was surfing so good again today. towards the end of the session, he said “wow, i should become pro surfer!!!” haha.
another day we will not forget. the stories will carry over year to year.
then went to have a wonderful relaxing lunch. listing to Takahashi-san’s stories and laughing so much.
the special of the day was the grilled mahimahi plate. it was so good!
then as soon as we get into the car, Takahashi-san falls asleep so fast. i thought he was joking!
then he let out 3 loud snores and woke up. then the jokes started up again. haha. went shopping, ate shave ice, and ended the perfect day in paradise.
thanks guys and girl for the awesome day of fun and laughs!
