Happy New Year!

At the start of a new year, I want to paddle out the point first thing in the morning by all means…This has been my desire for great surfing of this year; I also want to go ahead of anyone else.  With this in mind, I got more fired up today and went to the point, because today is the day of the start of year.

While checking for a surf point at past 5:00 AM, I was overwhelmed by a mysterious and fantastic scene. The sea was lit by the full moon’s light and it glittered so dazzling and bright.

What’s more, the waves kept on getting bigger; I can see sets of waves clearly.

Kanta and I went into the sea immediately. Mara was still sleeping in the car because she didn’t get any sleep at all due to last night’s party.

In a span of more than 40 minutes, Kanta and I were the only ones who enjoyed surfing in the beautiful moonlight.

As I began surfing, I immediately noticed that this surfing was particularly different from the one that I always do.

It was bright because of the moonlight but still it was dark. Upon take off, as expected it was still like taking a plunge into darkness.

Thus, we always come into a realization that we are surfing based on what our vision feeds us.

I look at the open sea and continuously evaluate the waves to determine if it is rideable or not, and catch the wave. 

After take-off, how much do surfers enjoy the scene in front of our eyes?

“Only a surfer knows the feeling,” this is the only phrase that can describe a surfer’s feelings very well.

However, this time is really different from my usual surfing.

Without depending on my sense of sight, I surf using my intuition… I can feel that my intuition is being honed more and more.

The take off in particular, felt like being pulled by someone like never before; I also notice the force of gravity pulling me.

In this darkness, I was there as a surfer, on the other hand, the pulling force of the earth was also existent.

To feel the earth and surf was really an amazing experience.,

By the way, I cooked and ate mushrooms last night but I wonder, by any chance, would　 it be a magic mushroom?
