Early Ocean to Late Mountain

205

started off this morning long boarding with Seira-chan.  smooth surfing…

she wants to get better in long boarding for this trip so we will focus on that.

and also cross stepping too.  each day, this girl gets better so maybe a longboard champion soon?

then went in to switch boards.  2 brand new boards ready to get tested on todays perfect waves!

after all these years of training, i thought Oshima-san was ready for a 5’11 short board.  it was his dream and today was the day for that dream to come true.

from his first wave, he paddled in perfectly, and surfed perfectly.  so stoked!

step by step throughout the years and now riding such a short board almost looked too easy for Oshima-san.

i didn’t have to ask how his new board was.  i just saw his big smile after each wave and i already knew it was good…

and my new board working super good too.  it’s an incredible feeling to ride new toys that work perfectly!

purple and orange.  you will see us more often…

came home, took a power nap, then headed to the mountains with the boys.  omg, we had a blast!!!
