Day 2 Boot Camp on from early this morning!  are you guys ready??? Ai-san was ready for the challenge.  it’s amazing how good she’s gotten in just a day.   Ozaki-san stepping it up a whole new level!  look at him go!!! wave after wave on this sweet Golden Week!   i just love this angle.  this is what you call “freedom surfing!”   Ozaki-san looking super solid and stable.   last wave of the morning as Ai-san looking so comfortable.   then the nice Chinatown lunch.  so good food and good time!   then we went to the North Shore.  thanks guys for the great day today!   came back to town this evening and picked up Kimura-san for Boot Camp Day 1.  straight off the airplane and into the water!   Kimura-san looking good and very stoked to be riding about 20 waves this evening.  our last wave of the day.  thank you Kimura-san!  tomorrow more and more Boot Camp to come…

surfing with Oshima-san is always so fun.  everyday we learn a new thing and laugh at another new thing.  other surfers must think we’re crazy because we’re laughing the whole time.  even when i come home and upload the photos, i’m still laughing.  haha…

this is probably the closest Oshima-san has ever come to getting barreled.  if the wave was a little bigger, he could possible be in the barrel.  so yes, it’s my next goal for this man…

now he’s surfing faster than i so i have a hard time keeping up.  this is speed!   slow down Oshima-san!  haha…

then i took the family surfing right after.  Oojiro-kun is only 11 years old and loving the feeling…  he’s the cutest kid ever!

Saori-san riding low and very stylish.  she never falls!

moments like this make my day.  i was in the water for 6 hours yesterday and people ask me if i’m tired?  absolutely not!  how can you be tired when you have a kid that warms up your heart.  i’m not tired of surfing, but maybe a little tired from laughing all day.  haha.

Saori-san’s last wave in.  i can’t wait to surf with you guys again!  such a lovely family…

i teach you how to ride, and i teach you how to fall.  this is how you fall.  good boy Oojiro-kun!

the big smile to finish off my big Golden Week day!

Life doesn’t have to be Perfect to be Wonderful!   so yeah, you can fall, you can fail, you can be a fool, but that doesn’t mean life won’t be wonderful!   live by this rule and live a wonderful life like me.  haha…
