Freak of Nature: Japanese Boys to Men

331


had another amazing day. started off with the beautiful Jikou-san family.

13 year old Yuya-kun started off the session with the first wave of the day.

10 year old Shunsuke-kun went next.

this kid was so energetic! he kept on saying “so fun!”

stayed with the boys and made sure they were safe.

and Papa Jikou-san on the outside riding some nice waves.

the boys took turns. Yuya-kun with the Diamond Head backdrop.

Shunsuke-kun with the long ride.

spent some time on the outside surfing with Jikou-san. super cool guy from Wakayama.

and super good surfer too.

it’s been a while since he surfed so i’m sure this bottom turn must have felt good.

some hot pho for some cool surfers.

the last thing these 3 boys want to do is go shopping. so i took them to the most beautiful places on the island. first from on top of the world.

then you won’t believe what happened after. i took them to my super dangerous secret spot. the waves were big and it was the perfect day to turn the 2 boys into 2 men. this is another story in a story so i’ll have to come back to it later. but to make it short, the 2 young boys entered the unknown and became men today.

then back to town and surfed with Hattori-san into the sunset. i left my house at 7am and came home at 7pm. so many good memories today. i feel totally satisfied with my life right now that i only have one more word to say. “goodnight.”
