good evening. hope you all in japan are enjoying your new years day. i’m sure enjoying our new years eve here. woke up early, headed to the west side, surfed, shot photos, surfed again, and shot photos again. then headed back to town and surfed again. 3 rounds of surfing, 2 rounds of photo shooting, 3 hours of editing on my computer, and 1 hour of harley time. a very long but productive day!
the west side was so beautiful today. sunny sky, blue water, good waves, jumping dolphins, and huge whales. full nature at its best. shot some photos of the boys out there and everybody was surfing so good. there is no way i will be able to stay up until midnight for the countdown so i’ll just say it now, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
here are some photos from today. guys like josh, seth, kaito, gen, hoptong, makichan, makisan, yukisan, taichi, isaiah, and so many other rippers out there today. full gallery coming on go-naminori. see you next year!
