had the most amazing day yesterday with Mai-chan. it was raining when i got up but once we got to the ocean, the sun came out and it was as beautiful as it gets. Mai-chan’s first free dive experience and because of her strong mental mind, i knew she would go deep.
and yes, it was Urashima Taro world yesterday. turtles everywhere. so many that i was bumping into them.
after a few tries, Mai-chan got it right. went all the way to the bottom which is a very big accomplishment for a first time free diver. it was deep out there.
once you can free dive, you will enter a totally different world. a world i love so much. this photo is so beautiful!
so many fish! i could have caught a weeks worth of dinner if i wanted too.
yesterday was one of the most weirdest days of my life. it seemed like i was part of nature or something. the turtles were looking at me differently. and it was the first time i came face to face with a puffer fish too. look at these guys trying to tell me something.
was going to bowls but heard a lot of sewage spilt the day before. so went to look at Three’s and we ended up surfing it alone. totally scored!
how often can you go to Three’s and catch any and every wave you want? i don’t think Mai-chan realized how lucky she was. the waves were so good!
after a happy dive and happy surf, you have a happy girl.
then went to the east side to practice getting barreled. this is how i learned how it feels to be in a barrel. and once i felt it, it made me chase barrels around the world.
Mai-chan’s first barrel! must have felt so good!
there is a private park up in the mountains that i totally forgot about. nobody goes there so it’s totally empty with the totally perfect view. a wild bird totally jumped on me like i was his mother. anyway, we ended up doing some totally cool yoga. this is the totally coolest pose ever! Mai-chan, this is perfection! thank you for the amazing adventurous day!
