we were on the way to the pipeline masters this morning. but first, i had a surprise for Asayama-san and Nao-san! so i pulled up to haleiwa to check the waves. i said “perfect! i brought some short boards for you guys so lets go surfing!” the looked at me puzzled. haha. i didn’t tell them i brought the boards so they were really surprised. and very nervous.
