had party wave time with Mr. and Mrs. Saito-san today. 2 days ago, Shuko-san didn’t know how to surf so she went shopping instead. today, it was her debut and i was so stoked to see her stand up on her first wave! now she is hooked! these honeymooner’s now have something else in common, surfing! a great bond to a great future ahead.

then i took Watanabe-san surfing again this afternoon. compared to 2 days ago, he is much healthier, much more energetic, and much more better in surfing. louder laughs, and bigger smiles today. great job Watanabe-san.

Watanabe-san’s wife and parents are here now so after surf the other day, we went to get malasada’s to take back to the hotel. today, he took back bubbies mochi ice cream. i’m sure they enjoyed every sweet bite!

i seriously should be a treasure hunter. i was paddling out to rock piles and seen something weird 6′ deep. i know it wasn’t the reef, i know it wasn’t a fish. so i dive down, open my eyes, and see $70! yeah, i just bought this exact fin a few months ago and paid $70 for it. and i didn’t even have a mask. score!
as i was driving home this evening, i was very happy about today. i taught 3 wonderful people surfing and all of them improved so much just from 2 days ago. we all know the feeling of improvement and when you have a great session, you have a great smile. they all told me how happy they were today but i forgot to tell them how happy i was too. to have a job that can make people happy is the best job in the world. it’s so rewarding and so reviving. surfing is my life and hawaii is my home. so to be able to teach surfing and teach about hawaii, i’m living a golden life. i’m going to sleep with a big smile once again and i’m looking forward to waking up tomorrow and doing it all again. good night.
