had a super fun time with the Maeda-san family. i was laughing all day. Maeda-san is from Osaka and has it in his blood. everything we ate, he said “GECHA UMAI YAN!” that means “super delicious!” in kansai language.

this 7 year old kids name is Sora-chan, which means sky! what a cool name for this kid! it was his first time surfing and i couldn’t believe how brave this kid was. he just stood up on every wave and jumped off when it was finished, laughing all the way!

i always feel that the ocean and surfing can bring a family even tighter together. i’m sure they won’t forget todays experience.

this kid had so much energy! he’s either going to grow up to be a sports star, or a comedian. a cute funny kid with a funnier dad.
To the Maeda-san family, Thank you for a wonderful time surfing, eating, and shave ice. I hope enjoy the rest of your trip in Hawaii and see you in the water. Aloha
