Had a super fun time with Hirayu-san and Megumi-san. They just got married and this was their first surf in Hawaii. The weather and conditions couldn’t have been any better. 
We saw a turtle on the way out. That usually means good luck! 
I asked Hirayu-san why he started surfing. He told me “7 years ago, I watched your Go-Naminori YouTube videos and it looked so fun so I thought I’d try.” Ever since then, he kept on surfing and surfing. 
We were practicing cutbacks and everything was looking good. 
Then a dark shadow swims under us. 
It was a big Eagle Ray! So lucky.
Megumi-san caught the wave of the day and I was lucky to ride along the side of her. Look at that smile! 
She kept on riding and riding and riding. 
Thank you guys for the wonderful session. I wish you both a happy life full of surfing and smiles!
