\"\"<\/p>\n

The Hawaii State Championship surfing contest is happening right now at Bowls so the best of the best surfers from all islands are here. \u00a0We surfed the past 2 mornings before the contest and it was very crowded. \u00a0All the best kids ripping Ala Moana Bowls. \u00a0It was good to see how they approached the wave. \u00a0I learned a lot by just watching.<\/p>\n

Sometimes you catch the wave, and sometimes you miss. \u00a0That’s surfing.<\/p>\n

I still remember pulling up to this secret spot on a secret island in Japan over 10 years ago. \u00a0A few years before this, I kept a 7’0 gun on the island just in case of a day like this. \u00a0It turned out to be the perfect board because nothing shorter would have worked. \u00a0Somebody asked me how big that day was and I just told them “big!” \u00a0Look how small I look and look how small my 7’0 surfboard is. \u00a0That’s big and pretty dangerous when you think about it because there are no lifeguards or nobody will save you if you got into trouble. \u00a0Typhoon season in Japan is basically “surf at your own risk.”<\/p>\n

I want to wish Tokura-san a Happy 76th Birthday! \u00a0It was a pleasure surfing with you here in Hawaii. \u00a0I wish you another year of good health and happiness! \u00a0Let’s go Japan Typhoon surf trip!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
