you know what makes me really happy? teaching surfing to people and watching them improve wave by wave. 3 days ago, i took Yoshida-san surfing and he was already surfing good. but a little tips here and there, i saw him improve after each wave. then we surf again yesterday and i was surprised on his surfing. 2 levels up!
surfing Bowls and ripping! riding every wave perfectly and just putting the board on rail.
i love this photo. board on water. look at the flow! remember that i’m letting Yoshida-san borrow my girlfriend for the second time. haha.
sharing is caring.
then here comes a set. i paddle into it, tell Yoshida-san to go! he takes off, sets the magic single fin on the rail, and goes down the long wall. look how beautiful the sprays are flying off the rail of the board. that’s magic!
3 days ago, Yoshida-san didn’t like going left. he said he didn’t want to surf backside. BUT, i told him, “you have to surf backside to get better frontside.? after 30 perfect sets at bowls, i think he likes backside now. and surfing it really good!
last wave of the evening, Yoshida-san finally gets a perfect right. i was riding behind him really surprised on how good he was surfing. amazing progress!
a very happy surfer. i would be too if i caught 20 perfect long waves at bowls in our 4 hour super session.
and yes, the ultimate end of a wonderful day. can’t beat this.
thank you Yoshida-san for a wonderful 2 days of surfing. i’m so happy to see you surfing so good! now give me back my 5’7 curvy girlfriend! get your own. i want to put her back in my house and lock her up. haha.
