Typhoon Sinlaku: Okinawa Bound….

366

good evening. felt like being in the water by myself so drove down the street to check out kaikos. pulled up at 4pm and nobody was out at the point. it was 4′ and perfect! had the place to myself. caught 5 waves in 20 minutes, jumped back in my car, and drove away. the best 20 minutes i had to myself in a long time. what would i do without the ocean? probably be in jail….

when i was in okinawa, we were waiting for typhoons. now, okinawa’s finally going to get one. surf before it hits, hide indoors when it goes over, and surf right after. that’s the pattern. it’s fun, but freakin dangerous. to all my friends there, please be careful…

speaking of okinawa. this is kazubo-san. kazubo-san is the typical image of okinawan people. surf, have fun, welcome, and great heart. the true meaning of “mensore”. here he is holding up a Hard Reef tshirt that our friend jasmin young designed. cool artwork…..

and the kids of okinawa are so cute. i wish i could adopt all of them…. this is how you do a “shaka” in okinawa….
**and last, wanted to with jasmine a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! wish i was at your party… have fun and another great year!![:?????$B!x(B???:][:?????????:][:??$B!^(B??????:]
