i had another wonderful day here in hawaii! just meeting new people everyday keeps my life so fresh. the Matsubayashi-san family from wakayama are so nice. we had a great surf session followed by lunch and dessert.
Kaoru-san is a young 20 years old and has a big future ahead of him. a smart kid attending college in japan and thinking about being an exchange student at the university of hawaii. yeah, i think it’s the best college in the world! why? because you can surf, study, surf, and study again. i use to go to class with sand on my feet. it was pretty cool.
Matsubayashi-san surfed today for his first time. i was so stoked to see him riding and enjoying the moment. perfect style and perfect concentration.
Happy Birthday Kaoru-san. hope to see you studying hard in hawaii and surfing at the same time. haha.
and of course, a mochi ice dessert from bubbies.
then i went to pick up Hashimoto-san. he just flew in from japan and arrived at this hotel at 12pm. then we were in the water at 3pm. we paddled out and the waves started to come up. nobody was out at bowls and we scored the peak. he was going right and i was going left. a perfect afternoon session.
check out this perfect right Hashimoto-san caught!!! awesome!!!
i was so happy to see his surfing level improve so much. just so poise and perfect surfing all day long.
see you bright and early tomorrow morning Hashimoto-san. good night.
well, not good night for me yet. still have an empty suitcase and have lots to pack before i get on an airplane tomorrow afternoon for a special trip. going to do something i wanted to do for the past 7 years. hopefully everything turns out right. wish me luck!
