i swear my job is pretty dangerous at times. guys throwing their boards under waves, guys running me over, guys just putting me into danger.

and sometimes, i even get a surfboard in my head. i would be surfing the same wave taking photos and all of a sudden, a board would fly right into my face. but you know what? it’s just part of the job i love very much so i’m not complaining.

yesterday i get home from a very long day in the sun. i was thinking about taking a nap when i got asked very sincerely, “can you please take me surfing?” my body and mind was saying “no way!” but my heart was saying “ok, let’s go.” my heart won. good thing i went because the waves were super fun.
