took my little friend surfing this morning. a kid that i’ve been taking since he was 5 years old. how many surfer kids from japan can say “yeah, i started surfing at 5 years old and have been surfing every year in hawaii ever since.” gosh, i love this kid!

i don’t love coming in to the yacht club and looking at building after building, and crane after crane. every single time i see this, i tell myself “20 years later, i won’t want to live on this island.”

surfed this afternoon with Yumi-chan. it’s unbelievable that a few years ago, she was so scared to surf. now, she’s not afraid of anything!

then we went for a free dive after. it’s unbelievable that Yumi-chan couldn’t even snorkel a few years ago. now, she’s swimming in the ocean like a mermaid!

then seen Toda-san on the way back in. Toda-san and Takami-san are the luckiest october surfers ever. they are here for 2 weeks and every single day the waves are going off! today had some head high sets and tomorrow will for sure have some leftovers. can’t wait to surf early morning!
