omg, today was one of most beautiful day of the year! picture perfect weather and super clean air. look at Oyama-san go!

such a cool guy and good surfer. we come from a small surfing world as Oyama-san knows people i know like Rickey from Okinawa, Inaba-san from Ichinomiya, and Fujii-san from Sakura Surf School. cool guys in a cool world!

and nice smile all day. this is how you surf relaxed…

it was so beautiful that the girls were out playing around in the free ocean. they were trying to make a heart shape? haha. almost girls!

last wave and thumbs up surfing today. great job!

Oyama-san, thank for the day in paradise!

and some delicious pho to follow.

i always order the combination meat with raw meat on the side. the best!

last, check out this interview on Stab about Seth Moniz. it’s about how the air in the Texas wave pool that went viral changed his life. it made a little confident kid more confident than ever. and that’s why he’s #1 right now!

Hattori-san: better waves, better smiles, better stoke!

no, i don’t know how to operate a drone to get a photo like this. but i do know how to operate my foil and gopro at the same time to get the same effect. so amazing!

Boot Camp looking super good! longer rides and longer stoke!

pretty happy to be able to multitask. foil and shoot photos at the same time is not that easy. but i’m trying and enjoying every minute…

and no way you’re going to be able to get a photo like this on a surfboard. i jump on my foil and ride ahead of the wave. then turn around and shoot this. if i fall, we both get hurt. this by far the best shot from my foil i’ve ever taken. i’m still learning but when i see results like this, i’m so stoked!

had a couple of hours so went to the ocean to get dinner. it wasn’t the best conditions for diving, but i managed to get enough.

the freshest supermarket on the island. sashimi coming up!

cleaned and filleted the fish. packed it on ice, and ready for the refrigerator.

as i was coming in, i was memorized by the sky. look how beautiful the clouds were!!!

cleaned up, sipped on a cold draft beer, and enjoyed the most beautiful sunset we had in a while. the happy ending to another happy day!
