good morning. 6:45 am and the waves are chest high and fun. kind of windy now but should clean up as the day goes along. low tide coming up this afternoon. i’m going surfing!! have a nice day…

when ever i wonder how the waves are in the whole japan, i just check kinsan’s blog. why? because kinsan is hardcore and is at the best spot at the best time. i travel around japan with him and let me just say this, “there’s never a dull moment.” we explore, meet people, eat good food, surf good waves, party, and party. i have so much fun but at the end of a trip, my body is 1%. haha… i just go back home, recharge, and do it all over again… can’t wait for this typhoon season… see this photo? it’s a super secret spot that not too many people in the world know of. i surfed it once and after i seen this photo, i want to surf it again, and again!! wanted to say hi to kinsan and all the boys at this awesome secret spot!!!

ever since i’ve started shooting photos, i always wanted a pelican 1550 case to keep my stuff in. it’s durable and water proof. i finally found a used one online and guess who was selling it? my cousin. small world. thanks daniel….

i had a dinner last week with these 2 triathletes. the guy in the middle is a writer/comedian from japan and the guy on the right is a pro rugby player. i’m not sure if i’m supposed to put their names so i won’t. i don’t want any trouble by their managers or something. wanna hear something funny? the rugby player had a nice stylish white hat on, he took it off and put it on the side of him as he was eating dinner, the whole night, the comedian was using the rugby players hat as a napkin. he was wiping his dirty hands and mouth on it after eating the lobster. haha.. it was the funniest thing i’ve ever seen. i can’t wait to drink with these guys again. by the way, the rugby player is a good surfer. he was ripping bowls rights…
**last. 2 weeks ago, i got a new video camera. 2 days ago, i used it for the first time. 1 day ago, i used it again. i love my new toy!!! check out these dolphins i was swimming with 2 days ago. i had the video camera in one hand, and my still camera in the other. wait till i shoot surfing with both cameras at the same time. it’s called “killing two birds with one stone.” the photos i got are freaking amazing!!!

**i have this folder on my desktop called “blog.” it’s where i put all the photos people send me in emails and stuff. it’s a folder where i go back from time to time looking at cool photos. an architect/surfer by the name of shun hirayama sent me some cool photos of one of his projects. it’s called “Les Aventuriers” that is located in kanagawa prefecture. i was blown away with the design… wow, i wish i could live in a house like this someday…

imagine having your office in your own house with the most amazing view? i’m sitting in front of my computer right now looking at a white wall in front of me. a white wall i’ve gotten to know quite well…

then when night comes, the house lights up. if this was my house, i’d have parties every night….

is this clean or what? i wouldn’t even want to walk on the floors. amazing..

a great idea for my future bathroom…

ok, i have one question. can i stay here on my next visit to japan? haha…
shun-san, thank you so much for the amazing photos. your a very creative architect and yes, i’d like to meet you someday. we can talk about my dream house. but first, give me some time to make some money. haha.. see you in the water!!!

Doko Daro???
