Go snowboarding abroad.Someday I was able to get involved in work (shooting for sponsors).I've come to realize that it's up to me to turn a simple trip into a job.It's not easy, though.
I don't have an office or a manager, so I decide all the plans for the year myself.
Sometimes they buy and send me a ticket for shooting, but most of the time I buy the ticket myself.
Because I want to go, I'm going, though.As a result, it will be an experience as a snowboarder, and I think it is two birds with one stone that the world will expand and the future will change.Recommendation of travel.
I'm a professional snowboarder, but I want to be a traveler, so I buy a via flight.
The reason is that I always buy tickets less than XNUMX days before departure, so I don't have any good left, and there is a lot of depth in where to go by via flight.
It uses a technique called a stopover at a stopover, and detours to several places in one trip (airline ticket), where you want to go, or where it appears without permission (tickets were cheap, etc.). It is a delicious plan that balances your snowboarding and traveling, and it is a recommended technique for those who have time.
Now I can go to countries and regions that have nothing to do with snowboarding.
What's inside when you bring a snowboard bag to Vietnam?I was also asked.
There are a lot of things I want to know other than snowboarding
That's why I bought tickets for Alaska, Canada (Seattle), Hawaii (Honolulu), and Tokyo, which is just the ticket price to go to Alaska.I heard from Mr. XNUMX, Mr. Moriichi Hirayama, and Japanese Sempai Snowboarders that there are flights to Alaska via Hawaii, so I definitely wanted to go via Hawaii when going with a Japanese crew, but it is difficult to realize, This time, Matt Hightower (Mr. Takato), a friend of North Lake Kutaho's snow skater, has moved to Hawaii with his family, so come and visit us!He said, so I'm really going!So,
It sounds interesting because it's not a resort-like Hawaii, but a natural, spiritual, organic jungle with a small population at the last frontier.
If you go to a resort, you want to come in a more like way, and on the contrary, this trip has a completely different and unpredictable appeal. ..
So, from Seattle to Honolulu! !!
Here, another friend of mine, Travis, who is connected to Snow Skater, picked me up and stayed overnight at a local house in Honolulu with a panoramic view of Waikiki Beach. ..
So I headed to Honolulu, after stop at Whistler.I had a air-ticket that stopover 2 airports to get to Anchorage.so I was picking Honolulu because I have a friend who moved to Maui island, last year and I was interested to what that my friend, Matt does for life in the jungle of Hawaii.
he was telling me like, there no resorts, one lane bridges and the wild jungles and great oceans, waves…
First night I got to Honolulu and he also snoskater friend, Travis gave me a ride and a couch for night at his place in outside of town of Honolulu.hmm Hawaii ,, first time to me to visit here ..
buying air ticket to go to Alaska, then you can go to Hawaii.and another place… sick deal for japanese snowboarders, or surfers…
The next morning, I went to the airport again, and to go to my destination, Hana, I went to Kahului on Maui.
Honolulu, Waikiki Beach towards the far right. ..
back to airport in the morning then headed to Kahului, Maui.another flite to get to Hana.where Matt's family lives ..
view of honolulu
This is Maui. .. .. (under
Where is Matt's house?
so this one Maui island ..
wonder where Matt is ..
Arrived at Kahului Airport.Maui.
A village called Hana at the western end of the island by plane from here?go to.
Hawaiians are full of flowers.I like it with flowers on my head.However, the sun is hot.The tension of the body on the way back from Alaska is relaxed. ..
Matt explains that Hana is a wilderness, completely away from the city, a messy organic place just past a number of bridges with only one lane.So, I'm not sure, but I'm looking for it by name and aiming to buy an airline ticket.
I like the Hawaiian people's vibes and flower decollate on their hair.
Hawaii's warm wind relaxease the tension from AK ..
I have no idea about Hana, but I gotta air ticket.
Get closer to Hana. ..If it's a car, I have to drive over there.
It's a guy who can only ride about XNUMX people on an airplane or a propeller plane, but the scenery is messy. ..
Hana Highway ,, looks gnarly dude ,, ~
such a good flite ..
Wow ... pool ... serious jungle!
wow pools ,, how thick jungle ..
Airport! !!Little!
arrival. ..
From a while ago, the airport is super easy.There is no such thing as a ticket, or a bus-like inspection.
Other than me, the passengers are a crew like shooting some amazing surfing. ..If I have a skateboard, Ah, we'll go to the skatepark too.Let's meet again~.When I turned around, Matt came to me.
Oh!Hey, Matt!It's been a long time!So get in the car.Look behind you!There are two yellowfin tuna in the back seat. .. "I got it when I thought I wanted fish just before I came here. Let's do Ahi Poke (Hawaiian food like yellowfin tuna carpaccio). It's perfect because it's Cheyenne's birthday party tonight!"
As expected, I saw Matt, that man, two fish in the back seat for the first time.
Matt ... Choya Bus North Kata.Now a PreDog rider.Matt is a member of Spicoly, and Spicoly was a snow skater who happened to be a friend at Seven-Eleven in the suburbs of Seattle about eight years ago. Because I do, I soon became friends.Above all, the glue fits well.Spicoly drank too much whiskey and drank at the same pace and often vomited.
So, I said that Spicoly would meet in Hawaii with me, but I couldn't come because my car broke, she got sick, and I got sick.
bouquet.
Matt says, "Look, we have to do this. To get cash ..."
"law..?"
smallest airport that I ever seen and landed.! Easy style.
Matt was shown up with a couple of fresh caught yellow fin tuna.which just sitting on the back seat with no bag or box or anything.just 2 fishes were sitting there.
Matt is sick insane snow skater.He Goes BIG.
and now he is here. I bet he is the best snow skater who lives in Hawaii.
The first night starts with a home party.
Ahi Poke, Hawaiian Boar Smoke, etc ,,
I didn't have the image of a wild boar in Hawaii.
I met various people.
Somehow, it feels good. ..
Ahi-Poke, Smoked Hawaiian Wild Boar ,, happy birthday party for Shyan, for first night in Hana.met some local new friends… seems like I came to good spot ..
Matt Hightower rides for pre dog snow skates
Matt High Tower.A rugged flower.This is Hana.It looks like Naha. ..
By the way, in Hawaiian, Hana seems to mean work, labor.And the flower (Ohana) is a family. ..
In this place where Matt got it by chance, he cuts flowers, cuts fruits, and lives.
Experience Maui and Hana Life as Matt's alter ego for the past week!
Hana = flower (japanese) = work (hawaiian)
hana means “flower” in Japanese. ”Work” in Hawaiian.and there is Naha in Okinawa
ohana means family but also means flower in Japanese.
Banana found!
You cannot use Japanese saws as souvenirs.It was a dagger here!
Banana tree, Zuba, Zuba! !!Defeat it, carry the prey and go to the next. ..
Bananas ripe with trees, Umar! !! !! !!
It turns yellow several times every day. ..
Jungle life. ..
Wild bananas ,, hmmm yumm
and some kinds of Avos ,,, hmmm
Avocado, big avocado, papaya, coconut, mango, some bananas, lilikoi, wild and organic fruits are ripe on the tree. ..
Life here is dangerous
