one more time kimura-san…
ganbatte ne!

good evening. i’m having a blast here in okinawa. today is kimura-san’s birthday so we’ve been celebrating since 12am last night. had a great conversation with the boys last night about the meaning of “Mensore” and “I ya sa sa”. i’m getting deep into the okinawan culture and i’m loving every thing about it. well, better get going. have a great evening….

surfing is booming in asia now. check out this contest they held last weekend in thailand. did i just say thailand?

the waves look pretty good too. this is the mens winner jamie smith, who’s from thailand….

i’ve been to thailand and there are beautiful women everywhere. well, some are actually men. this is a maxim model so i’m pretty sure she’s a woman. if maxim magazine every used a “ladyboy” in their magazine, that would be the end of that great magazine….
**anyway, wanted to congratulate these 2 japanese girls that made the final for representing japan. go japan!!!! i’m thinking about going there next year to shoot the contest. and enjoy the culture. go-naminori surf trip? sounds like a great idea….
