so happy to see Oshima-san again! every time i see him, i get so happy just from his smile. he’s like a kid enjoying life so much…

i always try to teach everybody to smile when they surf. the more you smile, the more you can relax. and the more you relax, the more you can enjoy. just like this!

i was just telling my friend that i really like to hang out with happy people. happy people makes me even happier than i already am. which is pretty dam happy…

after a few waves, Oshima-san told me “i want big waves.” so that’s just what we did…

welcome back to Hawaii Oshima-san! you made my morning so happy!

than went surfing with Park-san this afternoon. so good waves!

Park-san is another very happy man too! always smiling and stoked on life.

and always wants bigger and bigger waves. so we rode together laughing like little kids…

it was the most beautiful day! picture perfect waves and surfing.

thank you Park-san for the happy afternoon session. you made my afternoon so happy!

then surfed again this evening. 3 rounds of beautiful surfing and amazing smiles. tomorrow i’m surfing 4 rounds which is going to be so amazing! goodnight at 7:15pm….

whenever i take kids surfing, i treat them like treasure. if they have a good surfing experience, they will love it for life. if they don’t, that will be the last time. so yes, i’m pretty nervous and very careful when it comes to kids because i want them to love the ocean forever…

Sakura-chan stood up on her first wave and was so stoked! look at her cute facial expression. better than Disneyland! haha.

yeah, the best entertainment park in the world! the Pacific Ocean!

Tanaka-san is a very cool Father. and very cool surfer too.

so fun watching him having some long smooth rides.

then it was Ayame-chan’s turn. she popped up and was trying to make the surfboard go faster and faster.

welcome to Hawaii’s Disneyland!

then older brother Kaisa-kun’s turn. well balanced and well ridden.

even at 16 years old, it’s never too late to enjoy Hawaii’s Disneyland.

this is not Splash Mountain, this is Splash Ocean! yeah!!!

11 year old Sakura-chan and Ayame-chan are twins. both named after beautiful flowers. beautiful smiles, and beautiful future for these surfer twins.

want to thank the Tanaka-san family for the amazing time. i was so happy to enjoy the ocean with you guys. keep on surfing…

The end of a perfect ride… So beautiful…
