Bodyboarding Okinawa

26

The day after the jellyfish invasion.  Yesterday had the most anyone has ever seen, and today there were zero jellyfish.  Nature is fascinating.  Lucky for Kinoshita-san as he just arrived in Hawaii.

It is so cool to see someone bodyboarding in Hawaii for the first time.  The steep take off, the long rides, and the perfect conditions.  Kinoshita-san was so happy after each ride.

I use to be a bodyboarder too so I can relate to the feeling.  It’s like your whole body and legs are connected to the ocean.  It looked so fun.

Turtles have been popping up all over the place.  I must have seen over 10 today.

Look how glassy the conditions were this morning.  Smooth rides for this happy surfer girl.

Confident and focused.  That’s the goal.

Nakahodo-san arrived today from Okinawa so we went to get some waves in the afternoon.  Thankfully it was really good!  Even better than the morning as the high tide kept the rights going on forever.

We were really impressed by Nakahodo-san’s surfing.  His level was way higher than the last time we surfed.  He caught about 30 waves today and came in a happy Okinawan.
