we left Kimura-san’s house at yesterday morning at 5:45am and got to our final destination at 4pm in the evening. a long journey but had fun along the way.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

we arrived in Taipei and jumped on the bus to the next airport. we pull up to another terminal and i seen somebody familiar standing in the line. omg, it was Hayato! it was so funny.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

so here we are, the 3 amigos. we did the same exact thing 2 years ago and had a wonderful time. that’s probably the reason why we’re doing it all over again.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

it’s so crazy how developed Taiwan is. tall buildings everywhere.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

so stoked to see Hayato. we’ve been friends for many years and have shared some classic moments around the world. a true example of a lifetime friendship. a friendship i treasure.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Kimura-san hasn’t been feeling the best recently. hasn’t been surfing at all so it was my mission to get this man back on the board.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

propeller airplanes are so cool! i just wonder if one was to break?
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

we arrived in Taitung, rented a car, and first stop was Taiwan tea.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

the people are so friendly here. always helpful and very trustful. such a wonderful country.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

three teas for three amigos on the go.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

got to Mori-san’s house and going to enjoy this palace for the next few days. so stoked!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

my goal on this trip is to get Kimura-san looking forward again. not only in surfing, but in everything. so far so good! we had the most wonderful evening session yesterday with just the 3 of us out. surfing in the pure nature with your friends is what you call a dream surf trip. makes you realize what’s important and what’s not important in life. <\/p>\n

i’m up at 3:30am doing this blog. going to wake up the boys at 4:30am and go for a sunrise surf. then eat breakfast, take a nap, and surf again. have a wonderful day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
