yesterday was kind of like my afternoon off. i really didn’t want to go in the sun, but my niece and her boyfriend wanted to surf so i couldn’t and wouldn’t say no. the last time i surfed with Temari was when she was 15 years old. 7 years later, here we are again. enjoying the beautiful ocean and enjoying the beautiful day. it was her first time ever surfing bowls so she was really nervous in the beginning.
then after a few good waves, she got it all back. walking to the nose and hanging five. surfing is in the blood. i love it!
it was Nate’s first time out at bowls too. i was laughing so hard watching this big boy riding some long waves and enjoying it so much.
hopefully i got Temari and Nate hooked on surfing out there. it would be a dream for me to see them out there everyday sharing the waves.
one thing i learned from all the things that are happening in this world. family and friends are very important. take care of them, love them, and spend quality time with them. that’s exactly what i’m doing.
oh, and wanted to thank Ikuko-san for the late night snacks from hokkaido!
i have a question: is the sun stronger and hotter than before? why am i so burnt?
