omg, yesterday was an amazing day. one of the best christmas ever for me. started off with the most amazing golden sunrise, then ended with the most amazing smile. christmas means family and friends. up until 3 years ago, i use to work on every christmas day. since then, i decided to dedicated myself to spending it with family and friends. we all went surfing! Naomi-san surfed for the first time in her life. it was a day i will remember for the rest of my life! peace!

but first, have to catch up on things. christmas eve was a day for the fat bat. the waves were kind of small so this board was the perfect match.

after every wave, he would paddle back out with the biggest smile! once again, a smile only surfing can bring out.
