Masato-san’s been surfing for 25 years and it shows. once he gets up, he knows how to put his board on the rail.

then today i took these 2 young hip hop college girls surfing for their first time. Urara-chan and Sanae-chan did awesome!!! we surfed so long and go so hungry so we ate a poke bowl, waiola shave ice, and leonard’s masasadas all within an hour. so it was time to burn off the calories in the afternoon so where’s the best place to do that? in the ocean!

only the ocean can bring out the best smiles in everyone. it was Sanae-chan’s first time snorkeling and she didn’t even know she could swim. it was pretty funny. good job girls!
