want to thank ryosuke for the cool pistachio t-shirt from wakayama. i love it!
surfboards are stacked all over the place at my house. just from friends leaving it here throughout the years. not it’s time to clean up so everybody better come to hawaii and pick them up.
had a super good time surfing with Niimura-san and Murakami-san. the waves were huge this day! long rides and happy faces! thanks for coming to hawaii and surfing with me!
every time surfers first jump into the water, i can see the smiles. super happy and super excited to catch their first wave. such a awesome feeling!
the time has come. i promised myself in the beginning of this year to take a backpacker trip. i’ve backpacked throughout asia and now it’s time to go the opposite way. i’m traveling light and this is all i will have for the next 13 days. i got my ticket and when i land, i’ll be lost. haha. i don’t even know where to go, what to do, and how to get around. absolutely no planning at all. this is how i use to do it and this is how i want to do it. three long flights and i’ll be in some strange country very far away. new experiences, new culture, and new friends. i can’t wait!
Backpacking SA!
Awesome People
through surfing, i meet the most amazing people. take Kana-chan for example. a bright energetic 24 year old girl that has a bright future. highly educated and has traveled to parts of the world even people like me dream of. we had such a fun session yesterday. the waves were shoulder high and very long. it was good to see Kana-chan ride the waves for so long with a big smile on her face. great surfing girl!
toda-san sent me a photo of myself eating like a pig. when i’m hungry, please don’t bother me. haha.
toda-san and takami-san went home yesterday. i always have fun with them as they are like my extended family. 2 people i can totally count on. here is toda-san sitting in his dream cockpit.
then mr. seinfield Goto-san. came back to hawaii again, and coming back this winter season. another super smart and funny guy. also stoked on surfing!
the fatbat never let’s anyone down.
surfing bowls lefts with diamond head in the back. this is hawaii!
