Friends, Food, and Foil

191

 so happy to see my friends in Shonan all hanging out together.  Happy Birthday Maki-san!   and miss all you guys… this is a very classic photo of Eri-chan.  haha.  she would kill me if she found out i posted this.  but she should kill Naoka because he sent me this.  haha… i am very impressed with Seira-chan living the local lifestyle in Hawaii.  she can surf, she can cook, and she listens very well.  i’m sure her parents are really proud of her…   and when i say go, she goes!   because my theory of surfing is “if you don’t go, you won’t know.”  so you better go!!!   and i’m also very strict with Seira-chan.  of course i can help her climb up the sharp rocks, but that won’t be helping her.  so i let her go, and when she does something wrong, i kind of scold her.  haha.  of course i don’t like to, but it works.   after she finally came up, one of the guys said to me “oh, you’re training your daughter today?”  that’s the 5th time somebody asked me that this week!!!  so i told the guy “yes i am.”  haha… then spent the afternoon with Oshima-san and Renta-kun.  the boys loving the Hawaiian lifestyle too!   Renta-kun is getting good!  very strong and very focused.  not too much longer, i bet you he’ll be on a shortboard.   Oshima-san always surfs better when he surfs with his sons.  this is leading by example.  good parenting… gosh, i just love watching this!!!and i just love watching this too!and yes, i’m still in love with my foil.  haven’t had the time to do it much, but when i do, i’m the happiest man in the world!
