 had an amazing time surfing with the girls.  Yuki-san knows how to surf and hasn’t forgetting a thing.  it was her first wave in 4 years but she looked better than ever!   Rika-san riding a set and enjoying the fast ride.  Kana-chan surfing and riding till the end.  thank you girls for the awesome time.  can’t wait to do it again!

and want to wish Yuki-san a Happy Birthday!   wishing you a great year ahead.  keep young, keep beautiful, keep happy, and keep Hawaii…

 Hattori-san and i had a wonderful afternoon session yesterday.  waves were still super fun and not too many people out.   this is a cool angle looking at a surfer.  watching the wall of water from the back pushing in looks pretty amazing.   Hattori-san hanging on and enjoying the ride.  every single wave is different which makes surfing so cool.  you will never get bored of the same thing over and over… last wave of the day so got to make it the longest ride.  the longer the ride, the shorter the paddle back in… more photos from the Gold Coast.  Seth, Tony, and i watching the waves right out in front.  i miss these guys… the water looked so clean so i decided to take a deep dive to the sand.  on the way down, i got stung on the face by a jellyfish.  omg, i forgot about the jellyfish!  Matt always watching us to make sure we’re on the right equipment.  this is from the water. and this is from the land.   i borrowed his friends 4’0 board with a Signature 175 Stealth wing attached.  seemed to work pretty dam good!   ever since i came back to Hawaii and foiled, i really miss Snappers.  i should have foiled more and more.  even three times a day wasn’t enough.  haha.  thank you again Matt for the photos.  it’s so good to foil sandbars all day long.  it’s way easier then the reef breaks we have here in Hawaii.  can’t wait to do it again.  see you next year my friend…
