Today was such a picture perfect day!  We surfed early this morning and the sky turned blue really fast.  It felt like summer for the boys.

Kamobayashi-san and I surfed last month when the strong South/West winds made it very junky big and challenging.  Today was the complete opposite.  It was as calm, glassy, and as smooth as it gets.  This is the kind of days surfers dream of.

When you surf the hard days, it makes the easy days easier.  Kamobayashi-san was catching waves by himself and riding them till the very end.

Fujita-san surfing Hawaii for the first time.  Sitting on the outside watching the turtles swimming around, then catching waves on his own too.

Thank you boys for the epic morning!

Warm winter days…

Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

Round 1:  This morning was so beautiful!  Sunny sky and long rides.  Kimura-san caught some really nice waves.  He’s been surfing for over 50 years and is an inspiration to all the younger generations.  Look at that smile!

68 years old and still surfing strong!  Many more years ahead.  Keep on surfing Kimura-san!

Round 2: The storm just arrived this afternoon!  It was cloudy, rainy, and dark.  So dark that you couldn’t even see Diamond Head.  

I love surfing in these conditions.  Right when the storm hit, the winds turned offshore.  The waves got really good and Ogasawara-san was taking advantage of the perfect conditions.  First we started off on the longboard.

Then she graduated to the shortboard.  An easy transition and much more speed and flow.  Ogasawara-san has only been surfing for less than a year but she’s progressing super fast!  Keep on surfing!
