56 Waves After

107

Surfed early this morning with these 2 cool surfers.  First time surfing in Hawaii, and first time meeting each other.  But when you’re in the ocean, you instantly connect.  Lots of good rides, smiles, and laughter.

Hayase-san came to Hawaii yesterday for the very first time.  And this was his very first surf.  It’s a really good feeling coming from cold to warm.  Welcome to paradise!

Kenta-san’s goal is to ride a short board.  So today was a day to transition.  One size smaller board which will make your rides two times more exciting.

Hayase-san riding beautifully backside on a 5’10 shortboard.

Kenta-san surfed 3 sessions with me totaling 56 waves!  That’s pretty unbelievable!   But 56 waves later, his level went way up!

Thank you boys for the wonderful morning!  Hope you enjoyed surfing in Hawaii!

Went back out this afternoon with two frequent Hawaii travelers.  Today was their first time meeting which was cool.  There was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the same wave.  What a wonderful day!!!
