had an awesome morning with this wonderful couple from Hokkaido. third time to hawaii, and first time ever surfing. today was the day their life will change forever. and yes, i think it did!
first wave of Yoko-san’s life. got the shot!
and the first wave of Naoyuki-san’s life. got the shot!
it’s pretty easy to tell if people enjoy surfing or not. all you have to do is look at their face after their first wave and you will know they are hooked. Yoko-san and Naoyuki-san are hooked.
smiles from ear to ear. only a surfer knows the feeling.
can you imagine coming to hawaii from hokkaido? omg, from one of the coldest places on earth to one of the warmest places on earth. hawaii might be in winter season now but don’t tell that to people from hokkaido. this is paradise!
then we went to eat lunch at the health bar. the mana acai bowl is mandatory. thank you Naoyuki-san and Yoko-san for the wonderful day!
i ordered the pastrami sandwich today. it was so delicious!
then i came home, switched boards, and grabbed the 4 young ladies. we went out for a great surf session and i was happy to take this little 9 year old girl out with me. we had so much fun in the sun. the little girls surf club is getting bigger and better so today i made a name for them. i’ll introduce you to the “South Shore Monkey’s!” haha.
