it was so exciting to paddle out with Matsuda-san and Kaito-kun this morning. a perfect day with the perfect family…
if you’ve been following my blog for the last 10 years, you would have seen this kid transform from a little boy to a 16 year old man! omg, i couldn’t believe how big he got!!!
bigger body, and bigger smile!
we’ve been surfing together for the past 10 years and Matsuda-san was at his best today. super calm and super confident.
and super happy.
the joy of watching kids growing up throughout out years is a treat. and to be able to connect in the ocean is even better.
Matsuda-san wanted more and more so we went bigger and bigger. i was so impressed with his energy.
thank you boys for the amazing time.
then i took the Matsuda-san family to Chinatown for some dimsum lunch… my favorite!
the service is pretty bad in Chinatown. the staff get mad at me even when i ask for water. and today, the waitress bumped my plate on my lap and acted like it was my fault. haha. but i’m use to it and just go with the flow because it’s just a culture thing. it was pretty funny because the Matsuda-san family couldn’t believe it. haha. thank you to this lovely family for the past 10 years of amazing memories…
then we went to a very sacred temple that has hundreds of years of history, Izumo Taisha. imagine if somebody wanted to build a telescope on it???? sorry, but that’s the way i’ve bene thinking recently. can’t help it…
then went to Kelia Moniz’s house for a baby shower! 100 beautiful family and friends there to celebrate Micah and Ashley’s baby boy that will be hatched next month! the Moniz Family is growing and growing. and i’m happy and happy…
then went to pick up Arai-san for an amazing evening session. the wind turned off shore, the waves started pumping, and we scored till sunset. thank you everybody for another wonderful day in paradise…
