it’s been very windy recently, but who cares? once you get into the ocean, it’s all nice and calm. paddling out with Shouta and Yabuta for their first ever hawaiian surf session.

these kids have so much energy. had a blast watching them ride wave after wave after wave. Shouta never got tired at all.

Yabuta had so much energy too. he kept on going and going. super long and perfect riding.

gosh, i just love these photos. you can see the size of the wave, the texture of the ocean, the clouds, the sun, and the beautiful diamond head. nice ride Shouta!

i remember when i was once a college kid enjoying my spring break. absolutely no stress and just having so much fun. hanging out with these kids yesterday made me feel the same way again.

with the cold strong winds, you have to be pretty much hard core to even drive down to the beach. so if you see a surfer girl out in the water, she’s hard core!

before we ate, they were telling me how they plan to play tennis in the afternoon. i told them “after you eat, you are going to get sleepy.” and right after we ate, they both started to get sleepy. haha. surf, eat, and nap. a surfers dream day!

but first, took them to the best lookout in the world. and yes, they loved it! enjoy the rest of your vacation boys! see you on monday!

had a great time with Tomami-san yesterday. she caught some pretty big waves and rode them perfectly. super stoked to see the thrill of surfing!

thank you Tomami-san. see you tomorrow for another day of boot camp!

wonder where the food in hawaii comes from? take this gobo for example.

produced in taiwan? wow!

just picked up another bottle of Don Julio yesterday. i keep Mr. Don-san in my locker for very special occasions.

dam, the Zika virus keeps on spreading! it’s now all over south/east asia and even here in america. shocking! and they just found out that men with the disease can infect a women through his semen. that is crazy!

took Shoota and Yabuta surfing this morning. had an awesome time with these 2 young college kids on spring break. reminds me so much of my younger days. all i have to say to these kids is “enjoy your wild young life.”
