it couldn’t have been a better day to longboard. super long perfect wave after wave. Yumichan caught so many good ones. then as we were on the outside waiting for another wave, i saw a huge splash on the outside. OMG! dolphins!!!

i tell Yumichan, “hey, let’s go swim with the dolphins.” she looks at me as if i was crazy. i tow her out, and we paddled right in the middle of the pod of dolphins jumping and playing. it was amazing!

it was her lucky day!

then the long paddle back in. i towed Yumichan in, we caught one more wave, and this was by far our best session ever. surfing is only getting better and better! thank you Yumichan for the wonderful lucky afternoon. and want to say hello to Yumichan’s mother. heard she checks out my blog. cool! hope to surf with you too someday!
