How do you spell/say

" Catchin waves dude "

in Japanese ?

*promote This is why I have a high respect for the Japanese. I hate to single out nations for stereotypes, but I honestly think japan's history and law encourages the mindsets of respect, honor, and putting others before yourself. The fisherman said he did this because his island would be isolated and in trouble if he did not. Moreover I am not a boat expert, but he likely had enough fuel and resources to high-tail his way away for the disaster zones and go his way from there. Instead he turns around and starts doing everything he can to help. Then I find out he wasn't the only hero here, the store own gives all his goods away for free to help others.

This is going into my coveted "Inspiring Testaments to the Human Spirit" playlist. Videos that I watch when I feel like we're a wasted cause...

Just the backdrop right at the end gets me. Massive boats that are now useless with his boat in front trudging along. It shows you the force that he was up against.
