 have a nice day!!!<br \/>\n**traveling around the world is hard for surfers these days because of the ridiculous excess surfboard charges.  i pulled up to check up counters before and have been asked to pay over $2,000 for my board bag.  crazy!!  and that&#8217;s just one way!  so now, i try to travel with only one board but the bad thing about that is if it breaks, your done.  i&#8217;m lucky my surfboard sponsor is japanese and some of my shapers are hawaiian.  that way, i don&#8217;t have to take my boards back and forth from japan.  it saves me a lot of money and hassles.<br \/>\nthen there is indonesia where i go 2 or 3 times a year.  luckly, i have friends there to take care of my boards.  i use to keep my boards at garut&#8217;s house but year after year, the boards would somehow get all bust up.  dings, pressures, stickers taken off, and even broken.  yeah, that&#8217;s bali style.  haha.  my 2 boards there are my backup boards just in case the board i take breaks.  so it&#8217;s pretty important for me to have them in good shape for boat trips and stuff.  last time i went to bali, i picked up my boards from garut and freaked out how bust up they were.  one even buckled.  so sugimoto-san took it to his friend to paint it and make it look good again.  thanks sugimoto-san for bringing my boards back to life again.  i can&#8217;t wait to ride them this year!!!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/20100115032622.jpeg\" width=\"640\" height=\"303\" alt=\"\"><br \/>\nthis is my 6&#8217;4 hansen.  i can&#8217;t count how many barrels this board has gotten me in the past 5 years.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/FH000013 copy.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"429\" alt=\"\"><br \/>\nthis is just one of the blue indonesian barrels i got in 2005.  i will never forget this day at lenbogan island.  they call this place lacerations and if you fall and hit the reef, you will know why they call it that&#8230;.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/20100115033044.jpeg\" width=\"640\" height=\"346\" alt=\"\"><br \/>\nthen i got my 6&#8217;1 mike woo.  barrels, off the lips, cutbacks, and hundreds of waves for the past 4 years.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/Unknown-3.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" alt=\"\"><br \/>\nthis is a secret spot somewhere up in timor in 2008.  i&#8217;m going there again this october and will be riding this board again.  and hopefully again, and again&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>good morning. 6:15 am and the waves are getting cleaner on the north shore. the swell is out of the north so laniakea is probably going to be the best spot. town is knee\/waist high. strong winds so watch out for flying surfboards. these are the days the wind catches your board and pokes you [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3021","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-go-naminori"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3021"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3021\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
