I didn’t expect to surf in Japan so this session was a bonus for my trip. \u00a030 years ago I would have paddled out to this secret spot and hassled for waves. \u00a0BUT, Tokura-san taught me well. \u00a0Where ever he surfed in Japan, he was very respectful to the locals. \u00a0I watched that and understand why he’s welcomed everywhere he goes. \u00a0I wanted to be just like him.<\/p>\n
In my opinion, Japan has the heaviest locals in the world. \u00a0I’ve seen it all. \u00a0So to be able to surf a secret spot and not get sent in, beaten up, yelled at, or have my car damaged, it’s a success. \u00a0So thank you Tokura-san for teaching me by example. \u00a0I’m hoping to surf for the rest of my life in Japan! \u00a0 \u00a0![\"\"](\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_3632-800x600.jpg\")

Our group from Hawaii did really good at the conveyer belt sushi restaurant. \u00a0I’m sure nobody will be eating \u00a0at Genki sushi in Hawaii anymore. \u00a0Haha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
