1st Foil Lawsuit

did you see the news?  this 10 year old surfer kid tried out this electric foil in Hawaii.  this was his very first wave.  so far, so good.

then he pressed the remote control and the foil took off like it’s expected to.  

like everybody else including myself, you’re going to fall on your first wave.  it’s part of learning.  BUT, this kids thumb happened to get cut off by the propeller.  it’s a freak accident.

there is a protector around the propeller but he probably grabbed it causing it to cut off his thumb.  so just because you see Mark Zuckerberg riding one of these, that doesn’t mean you can…  

since this is America, the first thing people do when you want to put the blame on others is to hire a lawyer and sue.  so instead of taking responsibly of letting your little kid ride a super dangerous electric foil, you sue the company for millions.  welcome to America…

and since this is probably the first foiling lawsuit, expect more to follow.  if you’re going to sue, don’t foil.  the reason is you’re guaranteed going to get hurt at some point…

Babies to Grandpas

want to thank Chi-chan for these wonderful photos from Maui.  it can’t get any more romantic than this…

looking at this photo makes me want to jump on Mayuki and go island hopping!  maybe i will…

hey Nakahodo-san, what is this weird sand looking thing in Okinawa?  omg, it’s the pumice stones from the underground volcano!  nature is so amazing!

you’re a good Daddy to take your kids to experience nature like this.  it’s a free Disneyland…

i went to the East side today because the waves and winds were perfect!

i ended up foiling one of the most playful waves on the island.  i seen babies from 1 year old to 80 year old Grandpa’s enjoying the fun waves.  this spot has every wave for every level.  another amazing day in Hawaii…
