pulled up to Ala Moana this morning and the waves were tiny and weak. i gave Nao-san 2 options. we can surf tiny and weak, or we can go North Shore and challenge ourselves. what do you think she said?
yup, North Shore! so we went to the North Shore and took the challenge. waves 10 more powerful then town and 100x more exciting.
i had a hard time riding on the side because the wave were too steep and powerful. i actually almost killed myself taking off on the side.
so i sat back and watched Nao-san ride the best waves of her life!
i’m teaching Nao-san how to relax and enjoy the ride. just like this. haha…
big experience and big smile! good job girl!
yes, the North shore is a challenge for anybody. but if you can keep calm, you can overcome any kind of fear.
good session girls! so happy to see all the wonderful rides. we totally scored this morning!
Maki-san got the wave of the day! this is North Shore, this is Hawaii, this is Saturday, this is score!
look in every photo and you won’t see another surfer around. we timed it so perfectly that nobody was out. lucky us!!!
