Pro Training Day

11

This morning was so fun!  I did a training session with Japanese pro surfer Roy Kanazawa.  This is only the 2nd time we surfed together but I can totally connect with him.  Watching his every wave and every maneuver carefully and trying to make it better.  Roy’s level is so high already but he wants get better.  A kid with big dreams!  

Roy is from Shikoku so is very mellow.  Super humble and quiet.  This is the kind of surfer that surprises you once he catches a wave.  I was very impressed by his surfing level.  

As for the waves, it was a lot better than I expected.  I thought it was going to be flat so I actually put masks and snorkels in my car.  If it was flat, I was going to take Roy to run with 50 lbs. rocks under water at Waimea Bay.  But the waves were good and because we are surfers, we surfed!  

Such a cool surfer!  Want to say hello to all my friends in Shikoku!  Miss you all and hope to share barrels with you in the future.
