Brotherly Love

177

Renta-kun’s been surfing a lot with me and he got super good.  he brought his younger brother with him and showed him how to be confident and cool.  Ojiro-kun is only 11 and is loving life.  always smiling and always enjoying the rides like this.it was the first time i took these 2 boys surfing together without their Dad.  i was so happy to see them push each other to get better and better.  just in this one session, these boys pushed each others level up another notch.  i was just laughing and loving it…from being scared of the ocean to becoming very confident, that’s something so nice to see.  i’m so proud of these kids.  and proud to see older brother teaching his younger brother how to be cool…Ojiro-kun was paddling into his own waves.  i think he wanted to after seeing his older brother do it!this was the best wave of his life!  after, Ojiro-kun asked me “did you take the photo?”  i said “no, sorry i missed it.”  he said “omg, you are joking right?”  haha.  hey Ojiro-kun, just joking, i didn’t miss a thing!  good surfing boy!
