had an wonderful day with mother and son. Nozaki-san and 9 year old Shui-kun.
i think spending such quality time in the ocean with your child is priceless. something a child will never forget for the rest of his life. i know that because that’s the only happy experiences of my childhood. Shui-kun is very lucky.
when he caught his first wave, i was surprised on how good he was! omg, so good, and so cute! look at him go!
then Nozaki-san went on a good one. now i know why her son surfs so well. they surf together all the time in japan and support each other. amazing.
this kid is not only a good surfer, he’s a good turtle spotter. he saw turtles we couldn’t even see.
yes, this one was so small that i missed it.
some of the waves Shui-kun rode were overhead. and he kept charging them!
his goal was to improve in surfing. today, that was accomplished. by the end of the session, he was surfing totally perfect! gosh, i love kids!!!
another good one for Nozaki-san!
another beautiful and happy day in hawaii. so stoked to surf today with Nozaki-san and Shui-kun.
then we went to check out diamond head. it was absolutely perfect! head high waves, no wind, glassy conditions, and whales on the outside. pure paradise!
thank you for the awesome morning!
and this little surfer was so hungry after. the cutest smile ever!
then had an amazing afternoon surf session with Asayama-san. caught good waves, and had a golden sunset time at the park. the perfect end to a perfect day! by the way, look how fit Asayama-san is now! much more inner and outer muscle from 2 weeks ago. probably the fittest 67 old surfer in hawaii.
