it’s amazing that Ken-san started SUP’ing only 5 years ago and Ayumi-san only 2 years ago. their level is pretty high, especially timing the waves. timing the waves usually takes the longest, but they have it down. check out Ken-san paddling into this perfect right hander.

Ken-san got so many great rides. super energetic and at a very high level in surfing already. he could be a pro in a few more years.

as for me, i suck! i only did this a few times so i’m still learning. i have the timing down, but i’m having a hard time controlling such a huge board!!! i better practice more.

after that long session, i felt my inner muscles hurt so much. i had to stretch out and it still hurts. hurts in a good way because i know my body had a great core workout. i’m going to try to do this more often. surf, yoga, SUP, and eat healthy. i’m not getting any younger right? haha.
