ok, i’m going on 10 years of doing yoga. when i first started, it was a dream for me to do a headstand. it took 3 years for that to happen. then it was my dream to do a pose called “pincha marasana.” that took 2 more additional years to happen. my mistake in the beginning was using too much muscle power. i thought i could just power it and do it. BUT, i was wrong. yoga and headstands is all about inner muscle. if you can use your core muscles, you can do anything. after i did my first “pincha marasana” on the yoga mat, i thought, “wow, i’m going to try that when i’m surfing!” it’s very dangerous to do, but i like danger. haha.
my first “pincha marasana” while riding a wave! i was so stoked because this was one of my ultimate goals for yoga. now what’s next? i really don’t know anymore because this is probably the most challenging pose to do on a surfboard. maybe i’ll try this at pipeline? haha.
surfed with Nanami-san this afternoon. waves were super good. much bigger and more challenging than the past few days. but super woman did great! nice long rides!
gosh, look how beautiful surfing in hawaii can be!!! i’m riding on the side taking this photo thinking to myself “gosh, this is amazing!”
good day and happy smile! great job Nanami-san. see you again tomorrow!
south swells coming and coming. this summer is officially here and the waves should be good all summer long! so stoked!
