After work, I had a dinner with my old friends from California.  I really had a happy time with them.  They reminded me of my passed California life.  My English is still bad, but they aligned with my poor English as same as they had done before.  I hope I will go to California again in the near future.

The wave condition from Gakeshita point at early moring.  There was no good wave to enjoy surfing.  After this checking, we moved to Fukumitsu beach.

There was no surfer without us.  I got some long riding waves and really enjoy surfing.  After we finished surfing, the wave condition became bad.  We thought we were lucky!
