a few days ago i met one of the most shyest kids i’ve ever met. now, the kid isn’t shy anymore. it amazes me how surfing can bring out the best in a person of any age. just take a look at these photos and it will make your day!
when we were surfing, i seen 2 manta rays playing on the outside. we paddled out and watched it swim right under us. Masamune-kun told me “i’ve only seen manta rays at the aquarium.” hey kid, welcome to natures free aquarium!
i let Masamune-kun use one of Kelia Moniz’ surfboard. when i told him she was the world champion, he couldn’t believe it.
and i still can’t believe he caught a wave all by himself and rode it all the way in. Kelia’s board is super narrow and thin and is built for high performance surfing so even i have a hard time paddling it. now, Masamune-kun is the new owner of this one of a kind surfboard that thousands would die for.
who’s shy? not this kid!
when i first seen this photo, i had tears of joy in my eyes. you just have to love this kid!
if you don’t think surfing can change a persons life for the better, think again!
