then after a few adjustments, the kids were surfing perfectly. better form, and much more confidence. if this photo had sound, you would hear me yelling from the side!!! haha.

then i went straight to pick up Akane-san and we went straight back out to the ocean. yes, the winds were super bad and not a safe day to take a boat out into the wild ocean. BUT, we got ready in the harbor, sped out into the wild sea, threw over the anchor, and dove in the peaceful underwater world. it was once again, so dam amazing!
tomorrow have an early big day so better get to sleep. good night.
