it’s been a few days since i’ve been surfing with Asayama-san. want to take things slow on the longboard because of the long paddles and long rides. now, he’s perfected it.

then it was time for Asayama-san to shortboard. i give him a 6’8 and because of all the practice he’s been getting, it was almost too easy for him.

short boarding takes a lot more effort to get a wave. but once you get one, the feeling under your feet is amazing.

remember the fish i caught when the tiger shark came to check it out? well, instead of feeding it to the tiger shark, i protected it, filleted it, and we had our after surf sashimi and IPA beer. the best way to close out a day.

then went to play with my grand nephews. watching them feeding the ducks.

cool to see the albino duck. i felt like eating it but my nephews would never forgive me if i did that.

i’m so happy to see Kelia Moniz back home. she’ll be here for a week surfing and working hard. hope you can see her around.

and while the party just got started, i had to be the first to leave and come home. had so much work to catch up on before i slept, and had to wake up at 4am for another full day of surfing! oh well, another beautiful day ahead!
