good evening. i went down today to watch the deaf contest at queen’s. it was good to see jared, yumie, and more of my friends. it’s amazing how small this world is….
here is ota-san and jared. ota-san owns OTA SURF HOUSE over in shizuoka. he’s a big supporter of the deaf contest!!! and that’s jared, the guy who pretty much put this whole thing together. if it wasn’t for these two awesome people, this event wouldn’t have happened.. congratulations to you both putting on such ann awesome event!!!
it was good to see yumie making the finals. this is her right before her heat. all smiles… yumie was sick the whole week but put that aside and did her best. she caught the best wave in the finals and i think she won. i’ll find out the results later but to me, results don’t matter, yumie is always a winner….
*more photos coming soon…
and last, imagine getting to travel around the world with your daughter…. for FREE!!! yeah, my sister is living out a mother’s dream. she’s been traveling around the world with kelia for the past 2 years and is just loving it. and to see your daughter on posters, book covers, magazine covers, and other products, it’s just a bonus… i know my sister is proud and so are the rest of kelia’s family and supporters…. good job sis and sis….
