for the past year, i’ve always wanted to enjoy the japan surf culture. just jump in the car with friends, drive around, surf, eat, and laugh. i use to do this every year for the past 20 years but recently been so busy that i just didn’t have the time. so when i had a full free day, i called some friends for the surf report, got picked up in tokyo, and relived the japan surf culture that i love so much.

\nluckily on my last trip, i kept a full suit at a friends house in tokyo, and a surfboard in chiba. without one of the two, i can’t surf. this is my mobile brand new Dove Wetsuit, and my magic TSSC single fin. can’t live without them.

\nGo-Naminori blogger Dave Yamaya<\/a> inspires me. his hard work, his family values, and his friendship is priceless. a hawaiian living the dream life in japan. this guy will be my friend forever.

\nfor the past 2 weeks, chiba has been flat. lucky me again? i think so because the waves were perfect all day long. i waxed my board with the wrong wax so i slipped on almost every wave. and because i didn’t have a leash, i was swimming in the cold water for my board all morning. i felt like a beginner. haha.

\nthen Kita-kun on the left, and Naoka on the right. Kita-kun is a really smart kid attending Keio University. he is an intern for go-naminori that does some english to japanese translations. hanging out with him was cool. Kita-kun’s dream is to become a pilot and i’m sure his dream will come true. Naoka needs to get away from his computer so whenever i get the chance to do a small surf trip in japan, he has to come. that’s part of the go-naminori company policy. surf first, work later.
\ni’m really happy that i got to hang out with my team for the whole day. we had such great conversations about life, about work, about future, and about friendship. as the president of go-naminori, these surf trips are mandatory so see you all again. surf your dream!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
