\n\"\"
\ni got a skype call from kimura-san. yup, the okinawa boys in wakayama. they were drinking and having a great time. i got jealous so i shut down my computer. haha.. i hope to see you guys soon as i’m working my way down to shikoku….
\n\"\"

\nhey claudio, want to see a huge wave from the top of mount fuji? this was also 2 days ago. the clouds were drawing me pictures all day long as i was hiking up the steep trail. it amazes me how similar clouds and white wash from waves look so alike. this is nature at it’s best…..
\n**had a few things to say. first, thank you to everyone who sent me emails about my big accomplishment of hiking mt. fuji. i really appreciate your comments. i know not too many japanese hiked it before and it’s been many peoples dream to do it. the place to stay on the very top closes this weekend and it’s fully booked already so wait till next year. train, exercise, focus, plan, and go for it! you only live once and this is something you have to do. i’ve been in japan for almost half my life and hiking to the top of the tallest mountain in japan was one of my biggest accomplishments. bigger than surfing 15′ outer reef waves, bigger than surfing 10′ river mouths, and bigger than surfing 1000 meter point breaks….. you can’t compare it….
\n<\/font>
\n**second, i finally got through most of my emails yesterday. it’s such a good feeling to get email from people around the world commenting on hawaii, japan, or go-naminori. this site was created to form a bond between hawaii, japan, and to share it with everybody around the world. through the mails i receive daily, i think we’ve created friendships, experiences, and actually touched peoples lives. the vibe is so positive that it keeps me buzzing…. so i wanted to say once again…
\n<\/font>
\n“Thank you to everybody that checks Go-Naminori, our blogs, our photos, our people, our friends, and our way of life. I really appreciate your comments and encouragement. And I would also like to thank the supporters and sponsors of every single person involved with Go-Naminori. If it wasn’t for all of you, we wouldn’t be here today. Mahalo. Now go grab your board and “GO-NAMINORI”……[:?????\u001b$B!x\u001b(B???:]<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
