pulled these photos off kairi’s go-naminori blog. we were in shikoku sharing an umbrella and laughs. gosh, i love this kid.

i’m glad he didn’t drop my brand new lens.

and to think i had to push kairi and reika into waves. now they are winning contests! unreal!

been searching for a boat for our next year mentawai trip. found a few but just have to finish up the negotiations. i also found this photo and i wouldn’t mind riding a wave like this next year. and i think i know where this is.

another mentawai wave. from beginner to expert to crazy! i love it all!

i know so many people that got their cars towed away from the bowls parking lot. it’s pretty confusing if you’re japanese. so here it is. free or pay? i like free.
