Turtle Power

159

it was my first time surfing with Shizume-san so i could tell he was a little nervous.  but right when we got in the ocean, a turtle popped right up between us and brought out the smile.  right then i knew it was going to be a great session!

thank you little turtle for teaching us how be calm…

as we were paddling out, i saw a few waves and knew this was the best spot on the South shore.  it was absolutely perfect!

Shizume-san on a Matsumoto shape by Rockdance.  he was ripping!

i took off behind and enjoyed him doing this beautiful cutback.  such a cool surfer who’s only going to get better and better!

i love the speed on my Woo twin fin.  it’s so fast that i have to slow it down at times.  and that’s a good thing.

i surfed the 4th of July holiday from sunrise to sunset.  i was driving home with the biggest smile.  happy and healthy life for everyone…
