Nomura-san use to be a kickboxer. then once he started surfing, he got hooked. it’s pretty funny because i know so many martial arts guys that found surfing and never went back. it’s just that good! hey Nomura-san, welcome to the surfing world! your life will never be the same.

the lone tree in Rikuzentanaka that survived the tsunami is deteriorating because of the salt water. so they decided to cut it down and preserve it. i think that’s a good idea because the tree is the symbol of hope. i’ve been to Rikuzentanaka and everything was wiped out. i hope they rebuild and stand tall just like the tree.

a few people ask how my chickens are doing. pepper, peanut, and butter are fine. as soon as they lay me an egg, i’ll let you know. i think that’s real soon!

Windy but long riding!
