i had the most amazing time this morning with the Tumagari-san family.
8 year old Kaisei-kun is the cutest kid! so energetic and so excited. and also so cool!
and so happy after we caught our first wave.
Yuki-san rode so many waves all the way till the end. i don’t know where she got all that energy to paddle all the way back out after 20x.
Tumagari-san caught some nice waves too. surfing so cool and so smooth.
sharing waves together. i’m pretty sure Kaisei-kun will never forget this day riding waves with Mom and Dad together.
when i picked up Kaisei-kun, he told me that he doesn’t like the ocean because he got stung on the face by a jellyfish in Japan. so he said he only likes the pool.
but after our first few waves, he said “i like the ocean better than the pool!” haha…
Tumagari-san use to work at the TSSC factory in Shikoku. and also a friend of Yoshioka-san at Next Surf shop in Nara. so yes, a very cool group of surfers! and very good surfers!
ocean vs. pool? ocean right Kaisei-kun!
i just love to share the ocean with kids. i fell in love with surfing when i was a kid like this. and hopefully, this kid will love surfing forever, just like his Mom and Dad…
peace boys! so stoked to surf with you guys!
then went back this afternoon and the waves were absolutely epic! more photos coming soon…
