thanks to the rain, there was only 2 other surfers near us. so that meant we could ride any wave we wanted! and it was a good day for Daisuke-san to perfect his style! 
i know the feeling of satisfaction. and when i see it, i also feel it too. this is what i love about teaching people how to surf. this is my reward!
i decided that if the waves are under chest high, i’m going to foil. turning like this brings me joy and i like to feel joyful.
there are no other 2 people in the ocean having more fun than us. we laugh so loud that i’m sure people hate us. haha. 
Daisuke-san’s been trying so hard to find his style. and now he did! this is exactly how i want each and every of my students to surf. it’s calm, and it’s super cool! 
when i’m foiling, nobody dares to drop in on us. that’s another reason i like to foil. it’s just the 2 of us enjoying the happy rides all morning long… 
Daisuke-san keeps a journal on his surfing progress. in just 10 days of Boot Camp, look how good he got. look at his style from the first day we surfed on 12/22. then look at today! it takes some surfers 30 years to figure out how to surf that cool. to transform that fast is like being reborn!
goodbye 2021 and hello 2022!
