looking back at yesterday, i really felt like i accomplished something. something i try so hard to do, and something i will never give up doing. and that something is how to enjoy Hawaii to the fullest… this girl use to be scared to even jump into the ocean. haha. 
surfing a new spot use to bring nerves too, but not anymore. it’s all about comfort and smiles! 
Nao-san told me she only planned to surf once in her lifetime when we first met. that was a few years ago. from that day on, she got addicted to surfing, the ocean, and Hawaii. that makes me really happy because i tell everybody if you learn surfing the right way, there is no way in the world you will quit. on the other hand, if you learned it the wrong way, you probably quit already. 
after all the hard work, Nao-san’s surfing is finally freaking perfect! foot placement perfect, knees bent perfect, hands perfect, eyes perfect, and most important, smile perfect! this is the perfect example of what i strive for in everybody i teach. 
and once you can surf like this, your life will never be the same. just ask this girl…
thank you Nao-san for making me love my job. because i almost quit it a few times because of you. haha. just joking… super proud of you girl! 
welcome to Summer Paradise…
Go-Naminori is about connecting people. that was the main concept and that has always been my dream. i’d have to say that it’s been a really cool ride thought out the past 13 years since Go-Naminori started and i’m still enjoying the ride. hope you are too! 
came home and watched dirt bike racing with Mateus. 
this kid is confident. he said he wants to race someday. 
then when Mateus was watching this kid on TV, his face changed! 
it was his “OMG” face! haha. does anybody want to bet me that this kid will be jumping like high very soon? i could use the money to buy a new foil. haha…
