What does Birthday mean?

393

i wake up this morning feeling fresh. my body feeling good, my mind feeling clear, and my soul feeling bright. my little Princess asks me “what do you want to do for your birthday? lunch? dinner? i say “no, i just want to surf with you.”

we load up the truck and head down as one. the weather is amazing, the waves are beautiful, and there is nowhere else i’d rather be on the day i was born.

surf or foil? today, i chose to foil because i wanted to feel free like a young bird. haha.

we paddle out together and enjoy Mother Nature at its finest.

she’s flowing with grace as i follow her behind like a bird. there is nothing in the world that can compare to the bond we have. i know her every move, she knows mine.

she takes my camera, waits for me to fly on by. i come within inches and she doesn’t even flinch. it’s trust. it’s understanding. and it’s the coolest feeling in the world…

i’ve been teaching my little Princess how to love surfing, love the ocean, love nature, and love everybody ever since she was born. now we can do it together and that makes me the happiest birthday boy in the world…
