Seira-chan’s biggest dream is to meet and surf like Kelia Moniz.  i really think that her positive feelings are making it come true.  i really believe it because i can’t believe how many times they actually met!

when i say go, these girls GO!  i trained Kelia like that since she was a kid, and i trained Seira-chan like that for the past 2 years.  so when i yelled “GO,”  they both went!  haha…Mia is Kelia’s first cousin.  ever since Mia was a kid, i taught her how to work hard, study hard, and dream big.  so when she was 15 years old, she got a job, studied hard, and saved her own money.   even till today, she’s still working hard and studying hard in college.  yesterday, her dream of buying a new car came true!   so i took her down, explained to her the process, she signed the papers, and she freaking bought a car!  even the manager at the dealership couldn’t believe this 18 year old girl pulled it off.  so stoked!  congratulations Mia!  i’m super proud of you accomplishing something so big at your young age.  you’re on the right road to success…

The best Japanese bread in Hawaii!  Fresh and fluffy.  Perfect with my Lilikoi Butter!  Itadakimasu!!

Good morning 4:45am.

North shore 2-4′ and good.

Ala Moana waist high and morning sickness.

Diamond Head head high and bumpy.

East winds at 20mph.

Sunny and warm.

Going surfing 3 rounds.

Have a wonderful day!

Morning:  if you teach Seira-chan something, she will listen 100%.  and she will not only listen, she will do exactly what you ask.  that’s why she surfs so dam good!

as for style, we worked on that very hard from last year.  i always stressed to Seira-chan that style is important.  so when Kelia said her style is perfect, i was super happy to hear that.

and to see this girl take Kelia’s advise and apply it, i was amazed…

in just the past 3 days, this girl got super good.  walking the board and loving life…

Afternoon:  another very smart girl is Tanaka-san.  not only does she translate my blogs, she studies every photo i post and trains in her mind.  the last time she surfed was 6 months ago with me and now she’s way better?  that’s amazing!

when we got to the beach, i asked Tanaka-san if she wanted me to refresh her surfing memory.  she said “it’s ok, i got it.”  and she wasn’t kidding.  she surfed perfectly all evening…

yoga and surfing in Hawaii.  a perfect balance for a perfect vacation…
