more photos from yesterday in hawaii ne.
this is how it all starts. kids playing in the ocean, maybe one a future waterman.
here’s a legend waterman Tony Moniz in the water with Nala.
live off the ocean, hawaiian style.
i watched Shun Murakami transform from a little boy with big dreams into a big boy living those dreams on the north shore of oahu.
surfing brings great things. friendships forever.
Mari-chan on a perfect clear head high sandbar wave at off the wall.
Alyssa Wooten always everywhere with a smile.
and also catching a lot of waves where ever she surfs. Pipeline.
or Backdoor. good surfing Alyssa!
Josh, Mari, and Judy on the paddle out.
Josh Moniz turned into a man overnight. omg, this kid is big!
and Josh Moniz doing big things on small waves.
we are sitting at the billabong house fronting backdoor. Takahashi-san checking the waves. i say “hey, this is the perfect chance to make your debut at the infamous backdoor. no heavy locals out, perfect size, and a beautiful day.” he paddles out and shoot his first ever backdoor wave. and i’m sure it won’t be his last. take a good look at the reef through the wave. a lot of people might think this is shallow, but okinawa is a lot more shallow than this. nice photo! o’yeah!
