had another great day of Boot Camp with Sasaki-san this morning.  we were working on keeping calm and staying low.  the calmer and lower you are, the more likely you will make every single wave… then it gets easier and easier.   and the smiles get wider and wider. and once you master the surfing basics, there is no limit in your surfing.  it’s just going to get better and better.  and your life will be happier and happier… Sasaki-san came to Hawaii just for 3 days of Boot Camp. tomorrow morning we have one more session and then he’s going to the airport flying home a very advanced surfer, and a very happy man!   i was craving pork liver today so i went to eat pork liver in Chinatown.  this is my favorite!  simple, healthy, and very cheap! then it was Boot Camp this evening with Shimamura-san.  flew in yesterday, 2 days of Boot Camp, and flying out tomorrow.  some people might think he’s crazy to come to Hawaii just for 2 days, but i respect men like him.  because i know in just 2 days, your life can change.  and since life is short, why not take a 2 day surf trip to paradise right?   a very smart man… Seira-chan loves poke at Ono Seafood and she loves the exact same combination as i do.  the #1 and #7 can’t be beat.  so now she’s back in Japan making it her way.  i’m sure it’s even better than Ono’s!  good job girl!

 look how they water the plants on the main highway in Bali.  no wonder there are crazy traffic jams!  haha… my brother and friends went fishing on Mayuki and caught all this!  itadakimasu!   i miss you too Mauna-chan!  can’t wait to take you surfing again… stoked Azumi-san is ready to foil!  i remember my first foil board because i stared at it all day long.  i’m sure Azumi-san is staring at this all day long too.  haha… wow, nice wetsuit Nao-san!  welcome to the Dove Wetsuits world.  you will never be cold again… and you didn’t have to send me photos from the new iPhone 11 Pro.  now i want one! it’s unbelievable the kinds of photos you can take at night!  this is professional quality… and night vision too?  good to see you too Matsuo-san!  and yeah, i’m ordering my new iPhone today! i won’t lie.  when i was young, i use to live a kind of illegal life.  i never registered my first boat, never had life vests, and never even had insurance.  now i have everything so when the Coast Guard pulls me over and boards Mayuki, i don’t sweat anymore.  haha.  it’s good to live a legal life finally… thank you Ishikawa-san for the sake, pupu’s, and cake.  all doing down into my stomach tonight. i’m sure this one is sweet!  last, my little turtle friend at Bowls wants to say “HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY EVERYBODY!”

 This was yesterday, today will be the same!  All good!
