hanging out in Chiba with the Go-Naminori crew. thank you guys for the wonderful time!
so happy to see Shui-kun at the contest! i was so surprised to see how big he got! such a cute kid that’s on his way to become a great surfer. and also want to thank Michi-san for coming to watch the contest too. get ready for boot camp this summer in Hawaii!
Mai-chan’s living the cool lifestyle in the Philippines. gosh, i love that country!
and i love Cloud 9 too! such a lucky girl to travel the world!
i was sitting at a fancy bar in the country drinking a Jack/Coke. then i started talking to the Master about Jack Daniels because that’s the only thing he drinks. i told him “hey, i have a bottle of Frank Sinatra in my room.” he said “go get it!!!” so i get it, he takes a smell, and serves up a couple glasses for us.
it was the first time he drank it so he was super stoked. he told me you can’t get this in Japan. we ended up drinking and laughing at surfer jokes…
i was having a Sinatra with Jack/Coke back, and he was having Sinatra with a Corona back. such a lovely evening at the coolest bar in the mountains talking about the bears walking along the river below us. another day in deep Japan…
