we paddled out right after 8am. and paddled in right before 12pm. that’s almost 4 hours of endless surfing with Kobayashi-san.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

i think he must have caught 30 waves because every set that came in, he was on.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

i had to catch a few to keep warm because i’m from Hawaii, not Hokkaido like him.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

when i surfed with Kobayashi-san last year, we made some minor adjustments. in that year, he must have been practicing because he was surfing 10x better. progress makes me very happy.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

great job! i’m super proud of you!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

a quite and peaceful living room deep in Manoa.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

some juicy kalbi ribs deep in Palolo.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

thank you Nao-san for the memory of this exciting hunting day. seems like years ago.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Matsu is the kind of guy everybody gets along with. from old guys like Kimura-san, to young guys like Aoi. haha, just joking Kimura-san. anyway, Matsu was taking some photos of Aoi and giving him some tips at night.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

it’s good to get tips from somebody so patient and calm. totally opposite of me. haha.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

after our last meal at Kansai airport, we said bye to Matsu. right when Matsu went down the escalator, Aoi turned to me and said “Matsu is a really nice guy.” yeah, he sure is.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

and Matsu is also a great photographer too. capturing the moment of the cutback, while i’m watching from behind making sure it’s perfect. and yeah, this is a pretty perfect cutback! i’m already thinking about going back to Taiwan very soon…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
