Surf and Dive: That’s my life…

231

good to see Seira-chan out surfing by herself.  in total control, and enjoying each moment…and inspiring others everyday…it was day 2 for Maruyama-san.  in the 2 hours we were out, he must have caught 20 waves.  when i said “go,”  he went!  today we were practicing style.  how to look cool and in control he is…and how to look cool and in control he is doing a cutback. thank you Maruyama-san for the great morning.  so stoked to see you ripping!   then loaded up Mayuki for 2 rounds in the afternoon.  when it comes to free diving, i have everything ready to go!  it was a last minute tour.  got a call from a friend that was looking for a boat for a photoshoot.  yeah, Mayuki is the best for that.  and i told him, “today is the best day out of the year for weather, warmth, calmness, and water clarity.”  it was absolutely perfect…the models jumped in, they shot in the most crystal emerald color water, and i’m sure the photos came out amazing.  shooting from under water, and shooting for over water.  i think every single photo must have been so nice.  then took them to see the turtles.  they were so excited to see 20 turtles!  the girls were happy, so was i.  and as i was heading in looking at the cleanest water ever, i thought about Seira-chan.  she wanted to go diving ever since last year but the timing was never right.  so i called her and said “jump on a bike and meet me at the yacht club right now!”  20 minutes later, we were free diving.  it was her first time and like i imagined, she was an instant mermaid…
