so much surf this week

so many days ending something like this recently

小笠原

been breathin' all day

day in another realm far far away deeper in the heart of nature via huge hike and so rhythmic the breath all one and unified and at the furthest point the waves all sweet and A-frame and the dolphins jumping out back and at times so mellow swinging in the hammock between the trees between the wave riding just taking it all in and giving it all back and all those multitudes of crabs too living on the edge of nowhere with their dreams of something or maybe nothing at all...

FLOATER BOY DOESN'T OFTEN MISS A SURF

Huge hike to Ishiura.

Called for Floater Boy on the way.

His van wasn't there outside his house.

So went alone.

On the way realized I'd forgot my surfboard.

Went back for it.

Climbed the mountain road.

The sun shining bright.

The swell chart I'd seen showed swell.

The view from the mountain top confirmed swell.

The wind was onshore, though not a problem.

Meditative hike down.

Mr Mustard at the bottom,

and Indonesian island living chap,

and Ken old school super student.

All working in paradise on beautiful Hatsune beach.

Though what a walk everyday.  Up and down.

8mm images recorded all the way.

Beautiful day.

Beautiful movie to be.

Hiked up from Hatsune,

towards Ishiura.

Lost the path,

super steep and slippery with one hand 

(the other carrying surf board and gyosan sandals).

The view from the top a delight.

Though had to stay cool as to get back down.

After numerous good decisions, and patience

Reconnected to the path.

And down to the stream in the hidden valley.

And on to surf.

Waves sweet.

Sweet waves.

And Floater Boy arrives,

naturally.

A whale jumps.

So far far away this place in the whole universe.

Surf all day.

The walk back so tiring.

The days following purely exhausting.
