i feel like i’m living in a surfers dream!!! the waves this afternoon at bowls was amazing! just barrel after barrel! and it was super consistent coming in like a machine. the new solid overhead swell arrived this afternoon and should continue for the next few days. i can’t wait to get in the water again!!!

i had so much fun yesterday surfing with Kimura-san and Anna-san. Kimura-san surfed a few times in hawaii and bali before. it was Anna-san’s first time. so happy to hit the water together!

Anna-san started to get the groove. she caught so many waves in the morning session. i kept on asking her “aren’t you tired?” she kept on saying “no.” i was amazed on how much energy she had. i guess it’s called “pure stoke.”

we came in after 2.5 hours for lunch. then paddled back out for an afternoon session. i still can’t believe how much energy they both had. i think i was more tired then them. haha.

i was craving mangos again so i call my friend. she said “come anytime!” i get to her house and nobody’s home. i go to the back yard and climb on the shack to get closer to the juicy mangos. as i was climbing up, my foot slipped and i lost my balance. i was stuck 8′ up on the roof of the shack hanging upside down. i was going to yell for help but i was too embarrassed. so i hung there for a couple of minutes, thought what to do, and finally figured out i have to do this alone. so i think like a monkey, turn back upside, and crawl my way back onto the roof. by then, i was super dirty and super embarrassed. i pick a bag of mangos and leave. i just hope nobody saw me because that would be a funny youtube video for sure. haha.
