super stoked to surf with Ieki-san here in hawaii. a very good surfer with a very good heart!

had a wonderful dinner at my favorite taiwan nabe restaurant. a wonderful talk with Ieki-san and Masami-san while eating our healthier nabe dinner. i’ve probably known this wonderful couple for over 15 years. and wanted to say hello to their daughter Minami-chan. attending college and on her way to a great career. hope to see you all very soon again.

i’ve taken a few hundred people over the past 7 years to eat this nabe. a 100% satisfaction ranking. not even one person ever disliked here. must be special!

hey, check out this new camper for a bicycle. so cool!

i would love to travel around japan like this. just pull and sleep anywhere. so nice!

had a great time surfing with Komatsubara-san again this morning. after our long 3 hour surf session yesterday, he told me that he didn’t want to surf for too long. he also went hiking to the top of diamond head this morning before we surfed so he was already tired.

anyway, we paddle out, i let him try another one of my magic boards, and he didn’t want to go in. 3 hours later, we finally paddled in both pretty happy and pretty tired.

Komatsubara-san did some big backside round house cutbacks on the magic single fin shaped by Matchi. he was surfing super good and was super stoked. a magic board can change your life.

2 days we surfed for a total of 6 hours. lot’s of waves, lot’s of rides, lot’s of smiles, and lot’s of laughter. thank you for the wonderful 2 days of surfing Komatsubara-san. keep on surfing in shikoku!
