The water in Okinawa is very clean. \u00a0It’s so clean that you can open your eyes underwater and see clearly. \u00a0When ever I take my friends from Hawaii surfing there, I like to watch their facial expressions when a wave just explodes over the reef. \u00a0It’s pretty intimidating because we don’t have waves like this in Hawaii. \u00a0This is more like Tahiti. \u00a0![\"\"](\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/GPTempDownload-2-3-800x450.jpg\")

I still can’t believe how thick the waves were when we paddled out. \u00a0And I still can’t believe that Nakahodo-san was surfing out there by himself before we got out. \u00a0That’s pretty crazy. \u00a0It’s a very high risk wave with huge consequences. \u00a0I would never surf out there alone. ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/GPTempDownload-26-800x450.jpg\")

Carter paddled into his first wave I think he was surprised how steep the wave was. \u00a0And how shallow it was too. \u00a0Thank goodness he completed that wave. \u00a0![\"\"](\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/GPTempDownload-5-1-800x450.jpg\")

One mistake and you’re going to get smashed into the reef. \u00a0It happened to me 10 years ago and I still get nightmares about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
