Yesterday once more:  A beautiful take off.

A strong cutback.

And a happy smile.

Naito-san on her first mid-length experience.  First wave good!

A very smooth, stylish, and happy surfer!  Excellent surfing girl!

Yesterday once more:  The clean bottom turn…

Good morning 4am.
North shore 8-12′ and good.
Ala Moana knee high and clean.
Diamond Head waist high and clean.
Light winds today.
Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

We pulled up to Bowls in the dark.  On the beach were 18 box jellyfish.  Nobody was out because of that so we waxed up and were super excited.  Ryu-san on the mid-length board again surfing it well.  

Men love challenges.  And going down to a shorter board is always a challenge.  But when you’re strong minded and your surfing skills are good, anything is possible.  Good job Ryu-san.  

By the time this surfers Boot Camp is over, he will have ridden a thousand waves.  I can see him getting stronger each day.  Better wave knowledge, and much better timing.  

Tomorrow I’ll put him back on the shortboard and we shall see how he does.  I’m sure he’ll be great!  

We went back out for Round 2.  Naito-san surfed 3 days of Boot Camp and caught about a hundred waves.  Her level is way up and her smile is bigger than ever.

I already logged in 7 rounds so far this year.  Loving the ocean more and more…
