It’s been super good in the afternoons.  The sun is out, the water is warm, the tide is high, and the winds are offshore.  Perfect time for a surf session.

Yoshida-san caught some good long rides.  Very calm and cool. 

Rico-san was smiling from the start to finish.  She is such a happy girl!  

She stood up on her very first wave.  Smiling all the way!

Time went by so fast because we were having so much fun.  Last wave of the day.  

Seeing the smiles is the best part of being a coach.  Life doesn’t get much better than this…

Yesterday once more: Surf your dream…

Good morning 3:50am.
Ala Moana waist high and good.
Diamond Head chest high and good.
Light trade winds at 15mph.
Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

A beautiful morning surfing with M-san.  Very nice guy and surfing very good.  This is a very good bottom turn right off the airplane. 

Passing by me as I watch from behind.  This is flow.

This girl asked me today “I want another surfboard.”  That’s so funny because I told her to stay on this one for a while and it’s only been a few days.  She wants something more responsive and alive.  I totally understand it. 

So maybe a couple more days on this and we’ll try something else.  I have a brand new 6’2 at my house waiting for someone to try it.  Umm…

Went back out in the afternoon with Yoshida-san and Rico-san.  Father and daughter enjoying the absolutely best time you can ever experience together.  In the ocean and surfing will make any relationship a 100x stronger.

more beautiful summer days ahead…
