Childhood Rivals

164

i was watching Joshua and Shun’s heat this morning at the US Open.  of course i’m hoping both of these boys advance to the next round.  these boys are childhood friends.  when they first met, Joshua couldn’t speak Japanese and Shun couldn’t speak English.  it was so fun watching them communicate and become good friends.  so to see them both in the same heat on the biggest surfing platform, i was a very proud uncle.

they both surfed super good as i was screaming watching it from my computer.  it was so amazing!   look at Joshua’s turn!!!

as i was hoping, both of the boys advanced to the next round.  first and second place is all we need.  i can’t wait to see them battle again!  good job boys!

an epic evening at Diamond Head Cliffs.  so good!!!
