passed by bowls and it was flat. forget surfing, let’s go fishing and diving! Kyle, Maki-san, Hayato making sure the waves are super small so we don’t miss anything.

i was super happy that Kimura-san joined us. it was either to surf knee high bowls with 40 people, or play in the ocean with just ourselves. we ended up having a wonderful day playing in the ocean.

while we were fishing, Hayato went to jump in. with fishing poles and a lot of bait in the water, something big was bound to swim by. one big ono did but it was lucky and wiggled off Hayato’s spear. lucky fish.

was so cool to see Maki-san fishing and catching a lot of fish. we caught so many fish, swam with the turtles and submarines, and had a great time enjoying the ocean and each other. so stoked to be in the best place in the world with such great friends.

want to thank Kimura-san, Atsuko-san, Hayato, and Naoka for coming up to my house and enjoying a wonderful night of food and laughs. let’s do this again!
