Brand New Men

108

On his last day, we went to surf a secret spot in front of my friends house.  Waves good, board working good, and excellent rides.  The best day in this surfers career.  When we came in all happy, my friend said “hey, I headed up the sauna for you guys.  And the ice bath too.”  Perfect end to a great day of care for the body, mind, and soul.

Surfing and foiling are similar.  You have to know the basics, and practice and practice until it’s all muscle memory.  Once that happens, it’s really easy after that.  A brand new Superman!  

Ryu-san’s surfing went up 3 levels on this trip.  His dream to fly will come soon too.  

And the boys turning into men.  Look at Ryu-san in the background waving a shaka while his son Konosuke-kun is waving two shakas.  I love these kind of moments.

And to see Sounosuke-kun growing up and feeling comfortable in the ocean was amazing.  This day turned this boy into a man.
