another great surfing day yesterday! surfing with father and son is the coolest thing. a solid bond that will last forever. meet Yagi-san and Yuto-kun. Yagi-san came to Hawaii 2 years ago and we surfed for his first time. this time, he brought his cute 9 years old son to enjoy the ride.
this kids was so stoked as he caught his first wave! Yuto-kun just jumped up and rode it perfectly. then, we fell!
if i take a kid surfing and we fall, there is no way in the world i’m letting go of him.
the trick is to keep his head up above water and make sure he doesn’t panic. then when you come up, just laugh. then usually they laugh too.
then when they realize they surfed for the first time, nothing can beat that feeling. look at the smile in this kids face!!! omg, so pure and so cute!
we rode so many waves together and had so much fun. then i asked Yuto-kun if he wanted to surf by himself. he said “yes!”
next wave, he just rode it perfectly! amazing courage and amazing balance.
then the board caught a rail, he jumped off, and the board hit me in the ankle. ouch!
surfing brings out the biggest smiles in anyone. and i was just as happy as him.
Yagi-san caught so many good waves too. it couldn’t have been a better day.
if you want to build a stronger relationship with your son, daughter, dad, mom, brother, sister, or friend, just go surfing with them. you will create happy memories that will last a lifetime. just try it!
