so stoked to meet new people everyday. to take them out surfing at Ala Moana and to watch them catch the longest waves of their life makes me very happy. here is Ueno-san on just one of many. 
Sugimoto-san or nickname “Bob-san” has been surfing for 40 years. to me, he’s a legend! 
Tomomi-san surfed a few times before but really didn’t have a good ride. that was until now. just in this one session, she made up for everything. catching the most waves and smiling from start to finish. amazing…
Ueno-san’s a pretty happy surfer too. always smiling and always enjoying the ride.
and super focused with good style. 
lucky Diamond Head back shot. 
Bob-san in front, and Ueno-san waving in the back. sharing a wave in Hawaii is amazing…
had a nice chat with Bob-san and was so happy to hear of all the mutual friends we have in Osaka. miss every one of them…
thank you guys and girl for the epic evening rides. keep on surfing and keep on smiling…
