had such an amazing day yesterday. watching everybody free dive for the first time in the blue ocean was amazing. super stoked to see Aoi-kun trying so hard to go deeper and deeper. it will take some practice, but i’m sure i can get this kid to dive down deep after a couple more sessions.
when Asayama-san, Chifumi-san, and Aoi-kun first jumped in, they where going up and down, up and down. it must have been amazing for them to see all that nature because after thousands of dives, i’m still amazed.
then the turtles started to pop up one after another. look how close it came to the boat.
then a giant one swam straight towards Aoi-kun. i thought it was going to bite his foot off. it was pretty funny and i’m sure he could hear me laughing underwater. haha.
i can watch this over and over and never get bored. sitting on the bottom of the ocean watching everything from the bottom up.
turtles are so cool. i can’t believe i use to eat them when i was a kid.
another day, another conversation. Urashima Taro!
the waves were still kind of big yesterday. Asayama-san going right, i’m going straight, and Chifumi-san going left. sharing is caring!
i hope the waves get double overhead in the next 9 days because these head high waves are too small for Asayama-san already. it would be a big dream of mine to be surfing these kind of waves when i turn 67 years old. i’m totally inspired, and so are a lot of people in the lineup.
i caught some pretty nice waves too. i’m so happy!
Happy Birthday again Asayama-san! from 8:30am to 8:30pm i had such a great time with you. keep on surfing and keep on smiling!
