i had a great time with this group yesterday. just super happy surfers from osaka that know how to have fun!

Kena-san surfs really good. 20 years experience in surf and culture. such a cool guy!

Moto-san caught so many good waves! good style and good flow.

Marki-san is super stoked on surfing. always smiling and always having fun.

Etsu-san with the longest board rode the longest waves. another super happy surfer!
great surfing and great waves. our perfect summer continues.

it still amazes me on how surfing can bring out the inner soul and outer muscles. i think surfing brings out the best in people. and it also builds your muscles at the same time. 3.5 years ago, Inaida-san wasn’t looking like this. now, he has a defined chest, biceps and triceps. not too many people his age have this kind of body. and it’s all from surfing!

super stoked to see my friend Robbie driving around his new toy. it’s HUGE!

yes, another night at my favorite sushi restaurant in the whole world.

i forgot what this is called but the sushi chef told me that it cost $900/kilo. so expensive!!! i felt like i ate money!

and by far, my favorite. fatty tuna. i could eat a hundred pieces of this.
last, here is a quote i had on my computer for years. i look at it all the time to remind me about love and work.
“CHOOSE A JOB YOU LOVE, AND YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO WORK A DAY IN YOUR LIFE.”

Yesterday was so beautiful!
