yesterday morning was kind of crowded. good waves, but crowded. then when i went back in the afternoon, i only saw 3 guys out! omg, we paddled out fast and come to find out….
it was the 3 Uncles. the 3 Uncles that catch the most and best waves when they’re out. haha. luckily, there were enough waves for everybody!
and the waves were absolutely perfect! i was telling one of the Uncles, “i don’t have to go to Indonesia anymore because this is even better. i use to spend $4,000/trip not including 2 days to get there and 2 days to get home. and surf with 40 guys? nothing beats this!”
Uncle Lance is the most coolest guy if you know him. but if you don’t, he could be the most scariest guy. i’m glad to know him for the past 30 plus years.
want to thank Mama and Papa Iwata-san for the wonderful gift!
it’s a Japanese handcrafted bonito flake maker! omg, i love it!
i’m pretty sure this is a sharp blade. Papa was telling me to be very careful.
and this is the bonito i’ll start shaving. going to sprinkle it over my rice and tofu!
this is how kind Papa is. he wrote me a note in English and Japanese explaining how to use it. and he also bought me gloves so i don’t cut my finger. this is the kind of kindness that makes me respect people even more than i already do. it’s totally priceless!
