THE HAPPY ENDING

88

We’re having an early summer because the waves are pumping, the sky is clear, and the water is warm.  Hiro-san flying off the takeoff.

This view never gets dull.  I see it everyday and it still takes my breath away.

And photos like this kind of gives you an idea how lucky surfers are.  You’re literally riding swells that were generated 5000 miles or 8,000km away.  And this is where it ends.  So I guess you can call it a “HAPPY ENDING!”

Round 2 was with Yumi-chan.  We’ve been surfing together for the past 10 years.  I watched this girl grow from being so fearful, to very brave.  Surfing good and smiling all the way.

It doesn’t get any more beautiful than this.  Welcome to Hawaii!

The mornings have been low tide and waves breaking very fast.  The afternoons have been high tide and easier to ride.  Both are lovable!
