love talking little kids out into the open ocean. just to see them enjoying it at such a young age reminds me of my first time too. yes, i was right around this age when my Step-Father took me on his boat from Oahu to Kauai. i was totally seasick the whole time in the front cabin. it was a long nightmare, but that experience made me a stronger kid.
maybe someday this kid will be a waterman. and i’m sure he’ll never forget this ride. experiences like this last in a persons mind forever.
Father and son. a beautiful moment…
such a cool place to feel so free in the ocean. so happy to see Takahashi-san’s wonderful family enjoying this beautiful day!
every person i talked too about Mao-san was totally impressed. from locals on Molokai, to watermen on Oahu, Mao-san was the talk of the town. it makes me proud to be Japanese!
from the start, to this finish line, there was no taking a break. where in the world does this girl get all this energy from?
ever since i started foiling, my main goal was to be able to ride the biggest wave possible. but after watching the guys foil past me in the channel, now i wouldn’t mind doing the same thing. so next time i go to Molokai, i’m taking my foil! can’t wait…
