YO MAN!(act like surfer talk) This photo is Kelly slater. Last year, he made third place and two years ago, He made second place, but two years, he would able to winning for 7th World Champion, Unfortunty, He was lost at Hawii heat during the final. Andy Irons was winning that time and winning of 2003 world Champion. I realized that Kelly was really wanted to winnning soooooo bad for his late father cuz, I watched the DVD of the surfing contest at Bali. Kelly was really extremely upset and alittle tear. His oldest Brother was cuddled on him to make a feeling better and supported him to be positive attuidue. This year, I hopeully, he will be 7th World Champion. His score is 5342 and Andy Irons' s score is 4596. In two weeks, They will have a ASP tour contest at my mom 's ex home land...... do you know where it is? CHIBA, JAPAN! I surfed at Chiba, Japan twice. The Japanese surfers were really nice and bow me few times. You see the my deaf Japanese friends at Chiba, Japan( May 2004). I was soooooo happy to be surfing at Chiba and hang out few deafies Japanese surfers. I had a great time with my Japanese friends, and felt part of Japanese groups as well as I was really happy to be Japanese. I never forget that day. Some of Deafies Japanese dont really bow to me cuz I realized that I am not true Japanese and not living in Japanese culture at all, but I am really pride to be half Japanese/American. that s who I am. Japanese Accord to Japanese surf culture, When they are finish up the surfing. they went to shower with small water plastic, so that way, they feel better after bath, and dont have to wait for getting home for bath. In USA, they dont have one like this. is that cool? dude!
