that was my dream since my first<br \/>\nboat trip back in 1994. throughout the years, i&#8217;ve ridden some awesome<br \/>\nboats and had some awesome experiences. every experience, i&#8217;m learning,<br \/>\ni&#8217;m watching, and i&#8217;m soaking in as much information possible. why? so<br \/>\nwhen that time comes, i know what the heck i&#8217;m doing. haha.<br \/>\nmy first boat trip 17 years ago was a small 18m or 60ft sailboat with<br \/>\nsmall rooms and a tiny engine. we had 8 of us on board with 2 staff<br \/>\ntaking care of us.<br \/>\nas for my next boat trip? meet the beautiful Alexandra. this boat, or<br \/>\nshould i say yacht, is 50m or 164ft long. there will be 8 of us going<br \/>\nwith 12 staff, including chefs and stewardess, taking care of any of our<br \/>\nneeds. there are 2 speedboats, 2 three-seater waverunners, water skies,<br \/>\nwakeboards, diving equipment, satellite equipment, WiFi internet, all<br \/>\nthe alcohol you can imagine, and of course, my surfboards. i don&#8217;t even<br \/>\nknow what to expect. i don&#8217;t even think this is real? is somebody going<br \/>\nto wake me up tomorrow? what&#8217;s going on? i was invited to go on this<br \/>\ntrip back in june of this year. honestly, i had to think about it. am i<br \/>\nand idiot? think about it? think about what? i really thought to myself,<br \/>\n&#8220;wait, this boat trip is in january, that&#8217;s when all my friends from<br \/>\njapan come to hawaii, that&#8217;s when the waves are at it&#8217;s biggest and best<br \/>\non the north shore. what should i do???&#8221; i sat down for 1 minute,<br \/>\nslapped myself in the head, and told myself &#8220;hey dummy, this is a<br \/>\nlifetime opportunity. your friends will understand, the waves will be<br \/>\nthere when you get back, so stop thinking so much and GO!!!&#8221; so in less<br \/>\nthan 2 weeks, i&#8217;m GOING! the time has come for me to experience what<br \/>\n99.9% of the worlds population can only dream of. i&#8217;ll be sitting in the<br \/>\njacuzzi every evening during sunset sipping on a glass of champagne.<br \/>\nit&#8217;s funny how i barely graduated from high school and look where i am<br \/>\ntoday? my high school teachers would never believe it. haha.<br \/>\ndream big. because let me tell you something: DREAMS COME TRUE!<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo-end\"> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>remember one of my dreams of buying a boat, taking my friends surfing around the world, and enjoying life?
