Ate some mean Scallop from Aomori! It was still alive when we ate it! It doesn't get any better than this!

It was so good!

2nd place

I ended up getting 2nd place at the Chikura contest this past weekend. It was definitely one of the most exciting finals for the people that were watching. In the last 5 minutes I needed a 7.61 but I got a 7.46. One big mistake I made on that wave was that I fell down on my board when I was just doing a small setup turn. Don't ask me how I could fall doing nothing. I don't even know why I fell! That fall probably costed me the contest... And then with 5 seconds left a set shows up right infront me and I surf it pretty good but I come up short with a 7.25 It was definitely a heavy final! You had to be there to experience it! I guess these are the things you won't understand when you just see the heat scores.

Here is a video of a 20min session at Chikura. These are the waves we have to surf in Japan everyday! Lucky all of you stay in Hawaii! I'm over here for 1 month...

Last day of school!

I got 1 more day of school left and then Finals! After that it's a 3 month summer break! I was waiting for this day to come since beginning of this semester!

The waves were solid 2 feet with offshore conditions. Tmrw they have the State Championship at Bowls. Looks like they are going to have some small waves.

We had dinner with Kelly today. Since Kaito came home so late Kelly took his spot.
