\"\"<\/p>\n

I started driving towards Bowls early this morning. \u00a0I noticed there was no wind so I did a u-turn and headed to the east side. \u00a0I knew one of my spots were going to be really good. \u00a0It’s a far drive and a far paddle but it’s always worth it. \u00a0Nobody out and perfect rights and lefts. \u00a0I was so happy!<\/p>\n

Then I went to my sisters house and started to polish Mayuki. \u00a0Look how shiny she’s getting! \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

I still can’t believe how expensive this project is turning out to be. \u00a0Just these 3 things is $700. \u00a0Add another $3,000 for labor. \u00a0Well, I just saved $3,000 on DIY. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

I was looking though my old photos and came across these. \u00a0Tokura-san surfing a typhoon in Japan. \u00a0Happy as usual and always at the right place at the right time. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Look at this nice bottom turn. \u00a0Lots of speed and lots of commitment. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

20 years later, Tokura-san is now in Indonesia celebrating his 77th birthday still on his surfboard. \u00a0That’s so amazing. \u00a0Still inspiring many of us. \u00a0Happy 77th Birthday Tokura-san!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
