\"\"<\/p>\n

ever since the big Japan earthquake and tsunami in 2011, i get alerts to my iPhone whenever there’s a earthquake in Japan. \u00a0so this morning, i woke up to this! \u00a0i hope everybody in Japan is ok…\"\"<\/p>\n

this morning, i finally got to open my hard drive and look at old surf trip photos. \u00a0trips i have no recollection of because i was so busy that years went by so fast. \u00a0it was literally one trip after another so instead of coming home and looking over the photos, i was already repacking for the next one. \u00a0so looking back brought back precious memories, smiles, and also some tears. \u00a0this trip consisted of Japanese legend surfer\/snowboarders that took place in 2009.\"\"<\/p>\n

we left Padang port, sailed half the coast of Sumatra, and ended up at the Southern tip of Bangkaru. \u00a0it took a total of 40 hours to get there. \u00a0but stopping at Nias to get a few barrels helped that long journey. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

i don’t recollect taking this photo so when i opened it, i froze. \u00a0teary eyes followed by a broken heart. \u00a0i miss Akazawa-san so much…\"\"<\/p>\n

i’ll never forget the surf sessions, the parties, the laughter, and the smiles. \u00a0it was probably one of the happiest times of all of our lives. \u00a0Tokura-san invited me on this trip so i’m very thankful for that.\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Dear Akazawa-san, thank you for the sponsorship, friendship, and support you’ve given me from the time from Gonzo clothing to Spice clothing. \u00a0those 25 years were amazing and i’m so happy to have spent time with you both in the office, and in our playground. \u00a0the day will come when we both share waves again in Heaven. \u00a0until then, keep on smiling my friend…\"\"<\/p>\n

at the end of each day floating in the Indian Ocean, we would always get together, open a Bintang beer, and do a toast. \u00a0as surfers, we all knew that we only have one life to live. \u00a0and we wouldn’t have wanted to be any where else in the world at that time. \u00a0to many it may seem selfish, but to us, nothing else mattered. \u00a0we lived by ONE LIFE!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
