The crowd at Bowls has been intense. \u00a0If you’re not from here, you most likely won’t get a wave. \u00a0There just isn’t enough for everyone. \u00a0From left to right, there was Eddie, Bob, Stu, Carter, Ray, Uncle Barry, Bruce, Troy, Lance, and John. \u00a0And next to me were 10 other locals. \u00a0And inside of us were 10 more. \u00a0If you’re a visitor, today wasn’t your lucky day. \u00a0![\"\"](\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GPTempDownload-7-800x450.jpg\")

I was paddling out and couldn’t help but get the shot. \u00a0Uncle Barry’s finger was almost touching my camera lens. \u00a0It doesn’t get any closer than this. ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GPTempDownload-5-800x450.jpg\")

The Uncles continue to inspire me. \u00a0I want to surf forever too! \u00a0![\"\"](\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_3890-800x600.jpg\")

I just watched a video of Sarigao Island in the Philippines today. \u00a0I couldn’t believe this is Cloud 9!!! \u00a0What happened??? \u00a0There were hundreds of people in the lineup??? \u00a0I first went there over 20 years ago and there was nobody. \u00a0Now there are thousands of surfers, too many surf camps, expensive beers, and just way too many distractions. \u00a0I fell in love with Sarigao before because it was so natural, so distant, and so peaceful. \u00a0Never again…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
