getting to a point to surf perfect indonesia waves takes steps by steps. that’s the goal and that goal is coming faster than i thought.

Ojiro-kun stole the show today. he told me he wanted to surf by himself yesterday, but i wasn’t sure if he was going to go through it. but once he came to the beach this morning, he looked more ready than ever.

look at the determination on his face. he didn’t only want to surf by himself, he wanted to do everything by himself. he actually paddled into this wave by himself. 7 years old? are you kidding me???

and since he learned how to fall yesterday, he wasn’t scared at all. after this, he told me “i want to catch another one.”
