the waves were perfect and nobody was out again. i was riding behind Nao-san yelling “yeah!!!” then she turned to look at me, and her board flew into my face right after.

seriously, i have a pretty dangerous job. i keep on telling everybody not to look at me but they do. and when they do, their board comes flying straight for my head. it’s pretty crazy at times!

omg, the water was so clean yesterday! i told Asayama-san “just be very calm and relaxed. keep on taking deep breaths and go as deep as possible.” and he did just that. very relaxed and looking like a pro free diver.
