i had an awesome day with the Koutaki-san family. i haven’t seen them in 2 years so happy to see the kids growing up with beautiful smiles!
first i took 8 year old Eitaro-kun for a little bit of tandem. Mama Miho-san riding behind us enjoying the ride.
this kid is full of energy. all he was asking me was to catch a bigger and bigger wave. he loved the thrill…
then it was 10 year old Yuko-chan’s turn. we had a blast riding some long ones.
as we were finishing up this ride, i thought it was time for the kids to surf on their own.
Eitaro-kun jumped right up and rode his first wave in Hawaii by himself so perfectly! it was so cute!!!
big smile from a little kid. so happy!
then Yuko-chan had her chance and this was her first wave. perfect surfing and perfect smile.
these kids don’t know my camera is rolling so these smiles are for real. very pure, and very pleasant…
then we were watching Mama Miho-san riding waves from the outside. such a good surfer!
very calm, and very relaxed. i think that’s why her kids are calm and relaxed too…
then i had an idea??? instead of me always riding with the kids, i’ll let the kids surf together! they said “yeah, we want to!”
this was their very first wave together. i couldn’t believe how far they rode it without falling off? tandem surfing is very hard to do but these kids made it look so easy. and they made it look so fun too!
i had a great time with you kids. get ready for more fun in the sun tomorrow. we’re going back to my Disneyland! yeah!!!
