thank you Nao-san for sending me these beautiful photos from yesterday’s pipeline masters. glad you guys came to hawaii at the perfect timing!
we had the best seats in the house!
Nao-san and Asayama-san wanted to see Kelly Slater and John John Florence up close. so they went to the front row.
Kelly Slater running the beach.
John John Florence interview. so glad you guys got to see these surfing icons.
but Kelia Moniz is my favorite and way more pretty then Kelly and John John. haha.
Asayama-san is Kelia’s number one fan!
omg, after we surfed this morning, we were so hungry! so went to china town and ate chinese food. this was amazing!
and this has always been a favorite.
then went to Izumo Taisha to pray for happiness.
this place is amazing! so stoked to have such cultural place in hawaii.
then some milk tea as we drove around listening to my classic japanese music. we felt like going to karaoke. haha.
then went into the wild blue to explore the underworld.
and the underworld never lets us down. it was freaking beautiful!
after surfing and diving, you have this sense of peace and tranquility. it’s hard to explain, but once you feel it, you will be hooked. there’s no better feeling in the world.
Asayama-san feeling very calm and relaxed. good job guys! i’m sure you’re sleeping very good tonight. see you tomorrow!
last, i’m looking forward to going to Blue Note Waikiki to see Tom Curren and Hironobu Saito live on December 21! going to sip on some whisky and enjoy the live music. can’t wait!
