as you can see by the clouds, winter is here! but the water is still warm, and the weather is even warmer. perfect for a hot winter day of surfing! let’s Go-Naminori!
Ai-san is very energetic and very stoked on surfing. and he did it very well after not surfing for 2 years.
Hiroaki-san rode the longest waves today. i forgot to tell him not to hit the wall. haha.
Ami-san’s first time surfing and probably not her last. she surfed perfectly!
it is super cool to see Ai-san enjoying the ride.
Hiroaki-san with great balance.
Ami-san smiling all the way. we surfed until everybody’s arms couldn’t paddle anymore. haha.
right after our morning surf, i drove out to the North Shore for a special memorial. there were 200 of us surfing at Pipeline for a special kid we will surely miss. it was a very emotional afternoon for a lot of surfers…
