had a great time surfing today with Ryunosuke-kun, or nickname “Ryan.” this kid’s been coming to hawaii for the past 18 years but first time surfing here. i think after today, he’s hooked! super genki kid with so much energy. must have caught 20 long waves and still had enough power to paddle in by himself.

Ryan was turning right and left within his first 8 waves. and we scored as nobody was around us.

super happy and smiling on every wave. Ryan went to live in Pennsylvania for a couple of years during college. now he speaks perfect english which is a huge asset to his wonderful career.
