i was so happy to surf with Masae-san again! it’s been a year and so many things has happened. one thing is she qualified to surf in the Amateur All Japan Surfing Championships this November! Masae-san will be competing in the Woman’s SUP division in Chiba! ganbatte!!!!
so it was automatic Boot Camp ON! it’s my responsibility to get her in perfect form. perfect form equals perfect scores! just like this Masae-san! 
and being that i was a judge before, confidence counts! if you can smile and enjoy the ride like this, you will automatically get an extra point. and this will separate you from the rest of the competition. confidence is huge! 
great job Masae-san! i’m cheering for you all the way! hope you get the All Japan SUP championship trophy!
then went for a healthy lunch. the best avocado sandwich in the world! 
then went to pick up Nakahodo-san for our foiling lesson. big improvements and longer rides!
i drive by Kakaako a lot and see so many Japanese tourist. lots of crime down here too so please careful. it’s not safe to be walking on the side of the street like this with your bags hanging on your shoulder. you’re a target! 
new art, and so beautiful. i love mermaids! 
and i also love this kid Mateus. coming home from a long day and seeing his smile brings joy to my life. he’s cute, he’s funny, and he’s going to have a lot of girlfriends. haha. 
and Mateus has no fear! you have to see him riding around the park! it’s super cute!!!
