i get up at 4:30am, drink some kombucha, eat some cereal, put on my jacket, load up my boards, put on the heater, and drive out to the north shore. while most of the island is sleeping, i’m buzzing! feeling high, feeling healthy, feeling fresh, and feeling like it’s going to be a good day. i pull up, it’s pitch dark, i smell the salt in the air, i heard the pounding waves, and it’s time to paddle out. i get some good waves, get barreled, and i’m on the beach my 9am feeling like i had one of the best days of my life. all the rest after that is just a bonus! i take a warm shower, take out my camera, and shoot the japanese surf session. check it out.
