i paddled out to Bowls yesterday morning and seen some familiar faces. OMG, the Okinawa Godfather’s in Hawaii! so stoked to see you Kazubo-san! 
and like usual, Kazubo-san loves to surf and won’t come in until he’s satisfied. so about 5 hours. haha. the boys are in town for today’s event at the Convention Center. see you there at 3pm to watch the Shima Banana’s!
today we went out to play surfing dodgeball. i told the girls to look around, be aware, and be very careful because there were 30 surfer out. Nao-san found a gem with nobody blocking her! 
keep calm, and keep looking forward. good job!
Seira-chan is really comfortable out there. her level of surfing is standing out and turning heads. 
then i seen Omine-san!!! welcome to Hawaii boys!!! so happy to see my best Okinawan friends here! haisai! 
the girls surfing together can learn from one another. they can learn to surf, learn to be calm, learn to get along, and learn to become friends. like i said many times before, this was my dream…
not only we were having fun, so were others…
Seira-chan is surfing so fast that i can’t keep up anymore! 
just 3 years of surfing experience and this girl is living the surfers dream life… 
i seen a beginner girl right in the way of this wave. but i told Seira-chan to go anyway. i wanted to see how she was going to react…
and just like i taught her, she looked the other way and everybody was safe. good job dodging the girl on the Costco surfboard…
last wave into the beach. peace…
so happy to see Rikio on the beach. he was waiting for over an hour for Kazubo-san to come in. i saw Kazubo-san out there telling the rest of the Okinawan team to go in. but he kept on surfing. haha. i told Rikio that Kazubo-san isn’t coming in anytime soon. 
good job girls! i’m super proud of you for surviving surf dodgeball this morning. keep on smiling… also, i didn’t know it was Naosan’s birthday! Happy Birthday Naosan!!! wishing you another year of happiness…
spent the afternoon surfing with the Shima Bananas. a classic session…
