Asayama-san had a head to the airport this morning but wanted to surf before his flight. so we got out early, caught a few excellent waves, and it was off to the airport. look at this long left he caught this morning. so stoked!

physically and mentally much stronger than 3 weeks ago. now Asayama-san can paddle out by himself and catch waves by himself. that was our goal for this trip and it turned out perfectly.

thank you Asayama-san for a wonderful 3 weeks of surfing, diving, exploring, hiking, eating, and most of all, laughing! i’m going to miss you, and so are some of your new surfer friends. it was so cool hanging out with you everyday.

i just watch as the kids explore around and try to exceed their limits. they are diving deeper and laughing louder. it’s so pleasant watching kids bond this way.

so i finally got to go get some dinner! i shot the kumu because i wanted to eat steamed fish. and i shot the papio because i wanted to eat fried fish. then one of the girls got seasick so i had to go back to the boat. kind of bummed because i was just getting started.
