had a great time with Urakami-san and Masamune-kun the other. looking at this photo, you wouldn’t know which is the father and which is the son right? 13 year old Masamune-kun is on the left and he’s already bigger than his father. such a big boy with a big heart. opps, i can’t call him a boy anymore, i have to start to call him a man. he’s almost bigger than me! omg!!!
Urakami-san caught some really good waves. his family really loves hawaii and are having a very long nice vacation!
i remember the time i took Masamune-kun surfing for the first time last year. the smile that came out of this kid was amazing. i could tell he loved the feeling and still does.
a very smart kid, a great surfer, and a great future ahead! see you tomorrow again Masamune-kun!
and surfing with Sasaki-san was awesome. after talking and surfing with him, i don’t know who loves surfing more. him or me? it’s that close.
i love this bottom turn! Sasaki-san pushing the rail to the limit!
and bottom turn ready to hit the lip.
luckily again i had my camera and didn’t lose it. if i lost photos like this, i would be so sad. these memories are for both surfer and i. as a surfer, i understand how important photos are, and as a photographer, i understand how important it is not to miss the moment. and this is the moment!
last, wanted to thank Jikou-san for these wonderful gifts from japan! so happy!!!!
