Japan update

In between visits to Surfshop customers We have been Surfing a couple times with customers too over the last days. its kind of duanting driving for 2 hours past snow capped mountains, watching steam come out of vents in the road!. i woke up at 6 am and saw outside completly coverered with snow, i went back to the warm bed thinking i would get some great pics later! , but up at 9 am and its sunny and all gone! I really begin to understand what my customers have to go thru here and other parts of the world!not even feeling my fingers.. before i get in the water, the hot water buckets to take to shower with at the beach, the Amazing custom order process to get a wetsuit! Oh another thing happened too. i Woke up to the whole house shaking. it was an earthquake. it was over pretty quick, it was only a 3.5! almost everyone slept thru it, its such a normal part of life here!
