YES, here is the start of the Gay Pride Parade! it’s been going on for decades but this year was much different. this year was different in a way that normal people were marching. normal meaning unlike before, the message was it’s ok to come out and join the parade. corporations waving the colors of pride… #EQUALITYMATTERS gays, lesbians, transgender, or what ever you want to be is the norm. in other words, just be you… cool looking dog marching too. big corporations like Lululemon coming out with pride. a few years ago, this would be taboo. now, it’s all good… Ishikawa-san was very lucky to see this. i was lucky too because my image of Gay Pride changed. i actually felt like marching and supporting them too. haha… back to the surf. after Ishikawa-san caught 50 waves in the morning, i told him “ok, now let’s go surf again. but this time, take everything you learned this morning and apply it.” and that’s exactly what he did… just in 2 days of Boot Camp, we have a reborn surfer! much better, much calmer, and much cooler… i rode my shortboard and was trying to get different angles. i love this one! and i love short boarding too! ALOHA Ishikawa-san. so stoked to see you surfing so good and enjoying the Hawaiian lifestyle so much. see you again soon!
