this is the wonderful Ueno family. nice surfing, nice smile! let’s keep on surfing!
this is the 4th year we’ve been surfing together and everybody is getting better and better. here is 9 year old Ai-chan and i doing tandem surfing.
it must be a good feeling for mother and daughter to share a surfing experience together.
the past 3 years, Mari-chan rode tandem with me. this time, she wanted to surf by herself. first wave, perfect riding! good job Mari-chan!
it’s cool how the ocean brings out the deepest smile in everyone. when we take photos on land, i have to say “smile.” but when taking photos in the ocean it’s already all big smiles!
Ueno-san and Mari-chan. a great family. kind, happy, and very respectful! see you again next year!
