when you can become a very calm and positive person, happiness will follow. when i was 20 years old, i wish i was as calm, positive, and happy as this girl. i was actually the total opposite. haha…waves bigger this morning so practicing the duck dives with Oshima-san. this is perfect!somethings you can simply explain, and somethings you have to show by example. so as Oshima-san was paddling back out, i took off and told him “do it just like this.” this is such a simple maneuver that takes very little effort if you’re doing it the right way. and if you’re doing it the right way, you will see the sprays flying off the back of the board.next wave, Oshima-san takes off and i was watching from behind.then he did it! a nice smooth cutback with sprays flying off the back of his board. this is exactly how you do it!!!!
