Have a wonderful day!

One day in Sumbawa, the waves were super onshore with a very strong current.  But Kimura-san wanted to try.  It was very challenging, but he succeeded.  

Day or night, this man makes me laugh so hard.  Haha.

Back to Japan.  Harada-san is the style master.

Every chance my brother Mason has, he tries to get barreled.  It was pretty funny because I do the exact same thing.  

Sometimes I wonder if he didn’t quit surfing, how good would he have gotten?  Back in high school, he surfed way better than me and my friends so I’m pretty sure he could have gone a lot further than any of us.

One of the highlights of my last trip to Japan was surfing with my brother.  Just to see him excited about the surf culture was cool.  He was the first one in the water, and the last one out.  

This was back in March when we would take Jaco for a walk.  Dogs still scare me so I’m always walking way in the back.  

Good to see Japanese picking up their dogs poop.  Not everyone does it in Hawaii so that’s why I step in it all the time.  

I miss these Japanese delicious and healthy lunches.  

Garage talk.  Nice car Naohiro!  

This photo popped up on my memories.  Every time I see Mateus’ face, it makes me happy.  I think it’s time for us to surf again!
