i’ve surfed with Ai-san many many times. mostly on low tides do i planned to take her out on the super high tide yesterday. a totally different experience. waves were super open and very long rides.
i took out my camera and foil. wanted to get different photos then the ones i usually take of Ai-san. 
all it took was one wave then i got the shot! i was foiling in front and watching this amazing ride looking back. we were laughing all the way! 
i just love good surfing, and good photos. a happy combination on a happy day! 
while we were out, this college girl paddled out next to us. then this 16 year old kid from the mainland paddled out too. he came to me and said “hey, do you think i can get her?” i said “what?” he said, “i’m going to try to get a date with that girl.” i said “go for it.” he paddled up to her and said “what’s your name, how old are you, where you from, what’s your phone number.” that was all in one sentence. haha. the girl looked at him and thought he was crazy. the kid told me “well, at least i tried.” i told him “dude, is that how you pick up girls in your hometown?” he said “yes.” i told him “dude, that shit don’t work over here.” he paddled in right after. then the girl looks at me and says “that was freaking awkward!” haha. that kid better go back home and think of a better and more respectful way to approach women. haha…
too bad Ai-san couldn’t understand that conversation because she would be laughing so much. it was hilarious! anyway, thank you Ai-san for the wonderful days of Boot Camp. you did great!
