Dreams Come True

91

Another beautiful morning in Hawaii.   Seems like I’ve been saying this for the past 8 months but it’s really been beautiful for a very long time.  Itabashi-san and his son Takezo-san paddling out as the skies started to light up.

When surfers come to Hawaii and want to surf with the sunrise, they get to see a part of Hawaii not to many others can see because 80% of the island is still sleeping.

Takezo-san starting off in the inside to perfect his form.

Beautiful form and beautiful view.

Itabashi-san’s a surfer so he knows how to surf.

He caught some really nice waves and was smiling the whole way.

Takezo-san wanted to challenge himself so we went to the outside and caught some nice sets.  Perfect rides and a perfect smile.

When I get to share a special moment like this with father and son, it’s kind of emotional.  It’s every surfers dream to be able to surf with their son someday.  Today that dream came true…
