Girls Boot Camp

Had fun surfing with the girls this morning.  Waves smaller than yesterday but still super fun.  Lots of rides, and lots of laughs.

Uchiyama-san got so much better from yesterday.  She was riding every wave doing cutbacks all the way till the end.  I don’t even think she even fell today.

Nice bottom turn with perfect form.  It’s pretty cool to see progression each wave.

I just love taking these kind of photos from behind.  The sun rising over Diamond Head is amazing.

Ever since we started teaming up for Boot Camp, everyone is getting better a lot faster.  Learning from each other and challenging each other to get better.  It’s working so good.

Another wonderful day in Hawaii.  Can’t wait for tomorrow.

Whales and Ferraris

Had an amazing morning surfing with Uchiyama-san.  Her first time to Hawaii and her first time riding so many long waves.  Nice rides, nice cutbacks, and nice smile.  

She came to Hawaii at the perfect time because the waves were good and the sky was blue again!  Lucky girl.

This girls surfboard is getting shorter and shorter.  Now she can push it harder and make it go faster.

Just like this!  The red Ferrari going full throttle!  

Came home to see my brother fixing another car.  I still don’t understand how he can take this apart and put it all back together again.  I would be scared to see my car looking like that.  Haha.  

Round 2 guess where?  Yes, we all knew that Diamond Head would be perfect with these light winds.  

The girls walking on the reef like they’re walking at a shopping mall.  Strong feet and strong minds.

I was watching about 8 whales swimming by so peacefully.  

It suddenly got very crowded.  The girls hunted a few more waves and came in.  One year ago they didn’t know how to surf here.  But now, they can go out by themselves and catch a lot of good waves even when it’s crowded. They know how to hunt.
