the most rewarding part of my job is to share surfing and make people happy. just paddling out is exciting!
especially when there is blue sky and a welcoming rainbow.
and i do my very best to capture a photo of everybody’s first wave ever ridden. here is Sapi’s first wave ever!
here is Natsumi-chan’s first ever wave.
and here is Mai-san’s first ever wave. all 3 girls loving the moment. they fell in love with the ocean that’s the ultimate reward.
thank you osaka surfer boy and new surfer girls. hope you all continue to enjoy beautiful hawaii!
getting back to yesterday afternoon. it’s been 5 long years since i surfed with Shimada-san. and i was super happy to see her riding the waves so well.
when surfers come to hawaii just to surf, i think that’s cool. to me, that’s the meaning of a true surfer. Shimada-san is here to surf so surf is what we will do. by the time she leaves, she will probably surf the biggest wave of her life. how do i know? because a big swell is coming and this girl has no fear.
great job surfing yesterday Shimada-san. getting off the airplane and going straight to surf is awesome. i bet you had a very nice sleep last night. i sure did. haha.
