Team Ina and I paddled out to Rockpiles Rights as nobody was out.  the wind picked up, the waves were barreling, and it actually got a little dangerous.  taking off was a challenge!  i seen Yuki-san take off, the wind caught her nose, and she actually was flying in the air!  omg!  after that, we decided to paddle in.  it was a rough session with lots to be learned.  we were all exhausted by the wind, current, and adrenaline.  i&#8217;m just glad nobody go hurt today.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_5275.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_5275.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5275\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-44280\" \/><\/a><br \/>\non the way back to the Nagoya airport, we decided to pull over at the worlds craziest amusement park.  i pass by here all the time and refuse to go.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_5277.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_5277.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5277\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-44281\" \/><\/a><br \/>\ni gave in and decided to go, but i didn&#8217;t promise anybody that i was riding anything.  this roller coaster is crazy!!!!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_5286.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_5286.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5286\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-44282\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nthen i seen people screaming in the air?  omg, that&#8217;s crazy!!!!  i would never ever ride that!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_5289.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_5289.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5289\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-44283\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSaito-san and I didn&#8217;t want anything to do with that roller coaster so Kosei-san, Kanae-san, and Naoka rode it without us.  someday?  i don&#8217;t think so.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_5291.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_5291.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5291\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-44285\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nit&#8217;s called The Steel Dragon 2000.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_5292.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_5292.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5292\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-44286\" \/><\/a><br \/>\ni&#8217;m not sure why people don&#8217;t have heart attacks on this ride.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_5294.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_5294.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5294\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-44287\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nanyway, i end up going to the craziest theme park in the world and refuse to ride anything.  why?  because i&#8217;m scared!  i haven&#8217;t been on a roller coaster in 25 years and i don&#8217;t think i will ever go on one for the rest of my life.  so everybody please stop trying to get me on one!<br \/>\nmore windy weather for the next 2 days.  as for me, i&#8217;m still going surfing!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>i had such a great time today. took Eiko-san and Maya-san surfing this morning.
