Good morning 6am.

Molokai channel 20 knot winds with 10′ swells. And very wild!

It’s going to be an epic paddleboard race!

Good luck to all competitors, especially Mao-san!

well, decided to explore more and more around this beautiful world so got a portable VHF and GPS. i can take these anywhere and everywhere with me so hopefully i won’t get lost like i use to do. but if i don’t get lost, what’s the fun about traveling? haha.

it’s crazy how i can just jump on Mayuki anytime and go anywhere i want. if i could ride her to Japan, you know i would. but for now, i’m trying to connect the dots and go as far as possible. i even thought about putting a sail on her. haha. FREEDOM!

and it’s nice to know Mayuki can take me to the most secret spots in the middle of the ocean. so far from anyone so you can foil naked if you want to and never get caught. maybe next time.

here is my fortune in my fortune cookie last night. “you will have many friends when you need them.” i always need my friends so it make me realize who they really are. and yes, i love them all…

so stoked to surf with the boys on some shortboards. this is Genki-kun’s first wave and he ripped it hard!

for only 2 years experience, this kid is super good!

and to be able to smile and surf at the same time is great. it shows confidence and poise…

Father and Son enjoying a perfect wave at Bowls…

Mizoguchi-san practiced on the longboard so when he came down to the shortboard, it was pretty easy for him.

riding long and perfect waves.

thank you boys for the amazing time! so stoked to longboard and shortboard with you guys. keep on ripping!

when i tell people to spread apart in the ocean, some don’t know why i’m saying that. maybe because they don’t see things like this? well, i see it all the time and i don’t want anybody who surfs with me to get hurt. so for this example, luckily Father and Son were at a safe distance. if not, somebody would have getting stabbed by a flying surfboard. ouch! good safety surfing guys…
