HT&#8217;s for a couple of hours getting barrels after barrels.  it will never happen out there again.  and it was 10 years ago when matchi and i were the only 2 guys out at this outer island spot in shikoku.  that day was 8-10&#8242; and smoking.  scary but smoking.  that&#8217;s just two of the hundreds of sessions we had together.  it&#8217;s so amazing how i can remember every surf session for the past 20 years.  the time of day, the wave size, the spot, who was out, and the board i was riding.  and it&#8217;s so funny how i can forget everything else like birthdays, meetings, and sometimes my own name&#8230;
