Tomodachi in Okinawa

278


Ueda-san’s first day of Boot Camp. we scored perfect waves in the evening with nobody around us.

so many good rides and nice smiles.

sometimes i think i’m a little too strict with people, but that’s my policy. because sometimes being strict leads to wonderful results like this. so nice!

great job Ueda-san. see you again for Boot Camp Day 2. be ready!

when the Moniz boys were growing up, it was a dream of mine to be able to surf with them where ever and when ever. so when i’m surfing somewhere and someone says “hey Kirby, there’s one of your nephews paddling out.” i get so happy! here is Isaiah Moniz making Uncle very happy…

i get a text from Hayato saying “guess who i bumped into in Okinawa.” then he sends me this photo.

then right after, i get a text from Matsu saying “guess who i bumped into in Okinawa.” then he sends me this photo. haha. small world boys! wish i was there with you guys…

so sad to see yet another natural disaster in Japan. my heart hurts so much seeing things like this…
