Megumi-san caught some really good waves. super energetic and always happy paddling back out after a long ride. in fact, she caught the biggest wave of the day! a very tough girl!

Ryota-san’s been surfing for many years. he’s super powerful and super good at surfing. i was surprised to see such a muscular japanese guy ripping up the waves.

ate some pho after and had more laughs. i get so stoked to meet surfers from Kyoto because each and every one is hard core. you have to be hard core when you have no beach near you, and love to surf this much. thank you guys for the wonderful morning! hope to see you again!
afternoon story coming tomorrow. goodnight for now!
