Good to be back home!

Came back from Japan today. The waves for the contest was super windy, small (final day) and super junk. I ended up in 3rd place. I could've done better but at the same time It could've been worse with those wave conditions. I got plenty of homework to do so im going to be busy this whole week! I hope the waves are junk this week. Haha.

My dinner...

My Lunch at Kappa Sushi. I ate a little over 20 plates and its only $22. Its $1
a plate and the quality is super good! I can't believe it!

My morning breakfast. Gyu-don, Curry, and Miso soup! Super good!
Now you know why I come home 5 pounds heavier in 5dayz.

Japan

Iam finally in Japan! THe plane ride was 8 hours but I slept for 5hours and I watched a movie so it went by too fast! The movie I watched was Marley and Me. I know this may sound stupid but I actually enjoy the plane rides to Japan. Especially when you have the whole aisle to yourself! I just slept and I was watching the movie laying down. I felt like I was in first class! Haha! Eventhough I have never been on first class. The closest I got to first class was today. I actually got to check in at the first class line! Hahaaha!
The plane ride was awesome but when I got to Chiba the waves were real small. I jumped in the water with my Full Suit and it was super cold! My hands and feet were all numb but it wasn`t as bad as last year. After I got out of the water I checked my board and I had a ding on the tail! It was all smashed up and now one side of my tail is pulled in more than the otherside. I don`t even know how I got it! So im kind of bummed that I dinged my board because I was planning to ride that board during the contest! We`re goin to try fix it tmrw morning and hopefully it still rides good. Anyways Im super tired now and Im really full because I ate 2 pieces of steak! Good nite.

Concessions


Surfed the park today but there was no waves. It was like 1 foot and high tide. Here's a picture of a cutback at Flies couple weeks ago. There might be a small 1 foot south swell in the next couple days but next week tuesday looks a lot better. Keep your fingers crossed.

Happy Birthday Takako!


Yesterday we had a surprise Birthday Party for Takako at Todai. Everything went as planned so it was awesome! I was a little nervous that she was going to find out when we got to the Todai parking lot because if she saw someone's car then she would find out. Luckily there was a parking stall right in the front so she never found out. The food was good and the dessert was awesome! I ate so much that when I got home I weighed my self and I was 5 pounds heavier! Haha! Just wanted to say Thank You to all the people who came. Couldn't have done it without you guys! Thanks!

I got her a surfboard from Brice for her Birthday gift. Brice always does an awesome job shaping everybody's boards. Thanks Brice for the awesome shape and for rushing it out! Check out his blog at bricesurfboards.com


Surfed Haubush with everybody today and it was real fun. I brought 4 longboards to test out. All of the boards ended up working good so Im even more confused on what board to bring to Japan. Haha.


I also got a package from the mail from FA NINE Japan. I got some cool things like seat covers, a sick towel and bunch of clothes and new stickers! Thanks to everybody from FA NINE for always helping me out. Can't wait to see everybody in Japan pretty soon. I leave on April 22nd.

Concessions


I got some new fins from my sponsor Island Fin Design. The left one is for my 9'2 single fin and the middle one is for my high performance longboards and the right one is for my single fin shortboard. Just wanted to say Thanks to Steve from Island Fin for always making me awesome fins. Go Check them out in Wailua.

Today I surfed Concessions 2 times. The waves were solid 2 feet and it was pretty fun. My first session was during the high tide so the waves were real weak but it wasn't that crowded. My second session was during the lowtide so it was a lot better.

D-head



Surfed D-head today with Scotty Fong. The waves were 2 feet and the inside was good. It was good to see Scotty today cause I haven't seen him in a long time. It seems like he's super busy with a full time job and a full time graduate student at UH. I don't know how he's still surfing so good with no surfing time. Looks like there might be a south swell on April 9th so keep your fingers crossed!
