gosh, i just love taking kids surfing for the first time in their life. i know that the first time is the most important because they will either love it, or hate it. and i’ll do anything i can to make them love it. the first initial take off is classic because a little kids face don’t lie. look how nervous 12 year old Renta-kun is when he starts to ride his first ever wave.
then once he gets going, the feeling is just too hard to explain. much better than any ride at disneyland. look at his face. so stoked!
then as he’s about to stand up on his own, i’m sure he is thinking to himself “wow, this is fun!”
Renta-kun’s first surf and did it very well. after i took him in, he was waiting on the beach for me and said he wanted to surf again. two sessions for this cool kid!
a smile that i love to see. good job Renta-kun!
then it was Saori-san’s turn. second time surfing and rode it perfectly.
then Oshima-san wanted to surf a big wave so i took him to the outside. some sets were head high but he wanted to try. so stoked watching him ride some super clean big waves.
such a funny and cool guy. thank you Oshima-san. glad you are hooked on surfing! see you again next week for some big waves again!
