Minami:  F-4 Falcon"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>good morning.  6:45am tuesday morning.  what a long fun weekend.  everybody has to go back to work so  the surf should be mellow.  not too crowded and fun.  i just seen some chest high sets at bowls and there are only 8 surfers out.  it&#8217;s going to be another perfect day here in hawaii.  i heard that not too many japanese are coming this summer to hawaii because of the swine flu.  i think the media blew it out of proportion.  it&#8217;s like saying not to go to japan because of typhoons and earthquakes.  it&#8217;s like saying not to go to indonesia because of terrorists.  it&#8217;s like saying not to surf because of box jellyfish.  hey, life is all about taking risks.  i think you have a better chance of dying in an earth quake, or by a tsunami, or by a dog bite, then dying from the swine flu.  if you come to hawaii, life is normal.  actually, i think japan has more swine flu cases than hawaii.  it&#8217;s not half as bad as the news is reporting it.  anyway, life goes on and i&#8217;m glad i don&#8217;t let the news dictate my life anymore.  if i did, i wouldn&#8217;t have left hawaii and traveled to all the places i have.  if you don&#8217;t take risks, you won&#8217;t get rewarded&#8230;.  anyway, i&#8217;m going surfing because i see a lot of unridden waves&#8230;.  have a good one&#8230;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\"

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TSSC <\/a>catalog came out last month and it looks pretty killer.  super professional and super good quality, just like the surfboards.  if you haven&#8217;t gotten one yet, let me know and i&#8217;ll send one to you.  i&#8217;m thinking of getting my next board designed like this one.  but except the strawberries, i&#8217;m going to put on fish.  what do you think?<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/PE22338-1.jpg\" width=\"94\" height=\"240\" alt=\"\"><br \/>\nglenn minami made me a magic 5&#8217;10 board that i&#8217;ve been riding every day here in hawaii.  it&#8217;s called a bullet and feels like one. it&#8217;s fast and easy to turn.  before left to japan a few days ago, we were on the phone talking about his new F-4 Falcon design.  it&#8217;s kind of the same concept as my bullet but little shorter and wider.  and i can have the choice to go 3 fin or 4 fin.  i can&#8217;t wait to get it.  glenn will be in japan for 7 more days so don&#8217;t miss your chance.  thanks glenn&#8230;.<br \/>\n**here&#8217;s the concept behind the falcon&#8230;<br \/>\n<img
