it was 8pm last night when i just got out of the shower. sunday was a rare day off so i was in party mode. had some beers in a cooler, don julio in my hand, and ready to leave the house for a saturday night fever party! then i get a call from a number i don’t recognize? i hesitate to answer, but i did anyway. a man i haven’t met before says “hi kirby, this is Kanehisa. can you take us surfing tomorrow?” i thought to myself. who??? i remember taking Kanehisa-san surfing 10 days ago but he was 20 years old. this guy sounded older. he says “my son and i want to surf tomorrow, can you take us?” then i remember “oh, it’s the kids dad!” so i say “of course!, see you in the morning!” so i take off my dancing shoes, put away don julio, and go to sleep.
woke up this morning feeling super fresh and excited. i love the opportunity to take father and son surfing on their last day in hawaii. it makes me really happy.
Kanehisa-san is 57 years young. he’s super energetic and super cool. it was his first time surfing and stood up pretty fast. this was his first wave. just look at his facial expression and that will tell you how stoked he was. haha.
good to see Sho-kun again. the past 10 days went by so fast. super cool kid that’s hooked on surfing. he didn’t forget a thing.
towards the end of the session, Kanehisa-san was more excited than his son. haha. he usually golfs when he comes to hawaii but i think that will change. he already asked me if i will be in hawaii next march. haha.
can you believe Kanehisa-san caught a couple waves on his own? that’s amazing! so much energy and so much stoke. i was laughing the whole time watching this man having fun like a child. haha.
and Sho-kun surfing on his own. this kid learns really fast.
had an awesome morning laughing so much. the waves were perfect, super warm, sunny, and had a great time.
thank you Kanehisa-san for calling me up last night. if it weren’t for you, none of these memories would have happened. and to make it worst, i would have probably woken up with a huge hangover. haha.
dropped off the boys at their hotel, picked up the girls, dropped them off at the beach, then went to the gym! i don’t know where i get all my energy from.
