Yokota-san use to surf a long time ago so he wanted to try again. it’s been 10 years but surfing will always be surfing. here is the longest ride of his life…
to surf in Hawaii for the first time and see this amazing view must be amazing. i see this every single day and i’m still amazed…
thank you Yokota-san! you did great today!!! welcome back to the surfing world!
always good to see my friends enjoying this beautiful Summer in Hawaii. as i caught my last wave in, i was telling Toda-san “get ready for this afternoon.”
this afternoon comes, i borrow Tony’s board, put on a foil i borrow, and we paddle out. i watched Toda-san on his first wave and i thought to myself “omg, maybe i put the foil too far up on the board?” and after seeing this photo, yes i did! omg, sorry Toda-san!
imagine standing up on a wave and taking off like Rocket Man! haha! i’m going to move the foil back, put on a smaller wing, and we’ll try again. i guarantee next time will be 1000x better.
then i got my other student that foiled for the first time having the time of her life. haha.
i’m taking off in the middle of these 2 dangerous people trying to get the photo. almost getting hit in the head by my own foil? my life just got 1000x dangerous??
