4 year old Reina-chan saw my youtube video so wanted to surf with me someday. that day has come! she was so excited!!!
this was her first time surfing and she was a natural. super confident and super cute.
at the end of each ride, i always fall off on purpose. that usually makes kids laugh. then from there, it’s all about having fun! 
Reina-chan didn’t want to go in but i had Mom and Dad on the beach waiting for their turn. 
so went to take out Mommy Mamiko-san. omg, she popped up on her first wave and had super good balance. smiling all the way too!
perfect form! very impressed.
then i went in to get Dad, but Reina-chan wanted to surf again. so yeah, i don’t say no to kids…
i had a blast with this cutie. i was making her laugh the whole time and i’m sure she thought i was crazy.
then it was Daddy Hasegawa-san’s turn. he got up super fast and rode super long waves.
so happy to see people so happy! 
then went in and Reina-chan wanted to surf again. round 3? really? so yeah, why not? if i can see a kid smile like this, i’d do anything…
Seira-chan was out so i told Reina-chan to watch her. then we surfed a couple waves together and now i’m pretty sure she wants to surf like Seira-chan…
then a turtle popped up right next to us!!! that scared Reina-chan so there was no round 4. haha. 
want to thank the Hasagawa-san family for the wonderful session. glad you guys made it to Hawaii and glad to have shared Reina-chan’s first surf. can’t wait to take her again!
