today was Asayama-san’s last day in hawaii. we surfed early this morning and next thing you know, it was lunch time. time sure flies when you’re having a great time!

i’m guessing Asayama-san caught over 200 waves on this trip alone. and not just average waves, but very good and very long waves.

after we passed 2 hours, i knew Asayama-san would get tired. why? because i was tired too. haha. so we went in very satisfied. had a great lunch with our surfer friends, Aoi-kun, Chifumi-san, and Chizu-san. we were all very happy after one of the best morning sessions in a while.

i’m surely going to miss this kind and wonderful man. after 2 weeks spending everyday together, we formed a very good relationship both in and out of the water. it was a sad goodbye, but the happy part is i know i’ll see Asayama-san again very soon. have a safe flight back to japan and hope you keep our golden memories in your heart forever!
