Spent a week in Okinawa and just kind of went with the flow. \u00a0Heard there were some waves so we went to Hayato’s house to borrow some equipment. \u00a0![\"\"](\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4200-800x600.jpg\")

Loaded up the car and headed off for the long beautiful drive to the white sandy beaches and crystal blue water. ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/GPTempDownload-10-800x450.jpg\")

Paddling out, we had no idea how big the waves were. \u00a0We saw just one surfer out and the waves were pretty big and powerful. ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/GPTempDownload-16-800x450.jpg\")

And the water couldn’t have been any clear. \u00a0You didn’t need a mask to see underwater. \u00a0![\"\"](\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/GPTempDownload-15-800x450.jpg\")

That one surfer out was Nakahodo-san. \u00a0I was so happy to see him charging all by himself. \u00a0There’s no way I would have gone out there alone. \u00a0NO way! \u00a0Thank you Nakahodo-san for sharing your wave and showing us how to surf it. \u00a0See you back in Hawaii soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
