dropped off Seira-chan at 5:45am. she was the first to paddle out again. the early bird always gets the worm…then i went to pick up Nakahodo-san and we paddled out in the dark too. i told him Seira-chan was already surfing and he thought i was joking.gosh, if you want to get away from all the negative news about the virus, this is the place to do it…Nakahodo-san catching an early morning gem…Seira-chan is considered a local girl. people can’t believe she’s from Japan.Boot Camp continues. looking super good!like everybody else, Nakahodo-san loves the morning sessions now. i love it too! then went back in and back out with Oshima-san. super good rides!looking like a happy surfer!and surfing like a happy surfer.been teaching Renta-kun how to smile and it’s looking pretty good. this boy will never give up. he wants to get better on the short board and yes he will.Seira-chan surfed all the 7 hours with me today. after, she told me she’s so dehydrated and tired. i was thinking, “i’ve been doing this everyday for the past 30 years.” i’m dehydrated and tried everyday but also a very happy and healthy surfer everyday…then took this 4 year old cutie surfing for 3 rounds. then mom and dad too. today was a day full of smiles and laughter. dehydrated and tired, but i’m freaking so happy!
