we all worked hard to trick the kids into going into waters they’ve never been in before. at the end, it all paid off as you won’t get a amazing family portrait than this! meet the beautiful Takahashi-san family!
Father and Daughter.
Mother and Son.
this is the first step into becoming a waterman. to be able to overcome your fears and keep calm in the open ocean, you’ve taken a huge step. at 4 years old, Taizan-kun or nickname “Tarzan” is on the right track. look at this kids beautiful smile!
older sister Momoho-chan was enjoying her first experience too. just being so calm and smiling in the deep ocean. she kept on asking me if there were sharks. of course, i said no.
then as we were swimming back to the boat, Daddy yells “shark!!!” then this poor girl freaks out and almost panics. OMG, i couldn’t believe it. hey Takahashi-san, please don’t traumatize the kids! haha.
a couple more photos from yesterday mornings epic session. we pretty much had this place to ourselves!
blue sky, nice rides, and a very happy day.
thank you Takahashi-san for the wonderful day. you are an amazing surfer and have a wonderful family. you’re surely living the dream life! when you get back to Japan, please tell Muramatsu-san, Kazuki-san, and Yukari-san i said hello. hope to see you guys in Chigasaki!
