Oops! Kuroshio, not Kushiro!
This is embarrassing...We all have impediments...
One of mine is a mild neurological disorder that manifests itself in language (pronunciation and spelling).
I have never before revealed this publicly. It was only after releasing this video that my chronic mispronunciation and misspelling of "Kuroshio" current became evident. But, misspelled or not, the Kuroshio current, like my "disorder" is a very real impediment to my forward progress.
But these setbacks and slowdowns have their silver lining. While waiting here in Nichinan, famous for its surf, I have been befriended by a remarkable individual: Hara Atsushi - surfer, single father, entrepreneur, and self-proclaimed Never-Too-Later like me!
In fact, I have met a lot of people here who came to surf and ended up starting successful businesses.
Pacific Solo is really a misnomer. I have only gotten this far because of the community that has formed around the Pacific Solo idea. I am humbled, not only by the sea but, by the generosity and love of others.
Below are the various ways you can support Pacific Solo, both financially and just good ol' moral support.
