Naoka is getting better. watching him catch bigger waves and ride it with much more confidence. this wave he caught was pretty dam perfect.

usually Naoka would run me right over because he would look at me, but now he looks down the wave and passes me right by. thank goodness.

Toda-san has so much power. so when he puts his rail in the water on the bottom turn, i know he’s coming for the lip.

this is when all his weight plays a big part in his power surfing. if you see this, get out of the way!
