Have a wonderful day!

it was right about this age when i fell in love with surfing. to be honest, i didn’t realize it until recently. watching the kids i take surfing reminds me of my first days as a surfer. i still remember myself being so happy! so now, i want every kid in the world to feel what i’ve felt. and i’ll do my best to make it happen.

Kanna-chan was so cute yesterday. only 7 years old and so full with energy. she wanted more and more.

Sakura-chan at 10 years old with the biggest smile after each and every wave.

and with mom and dad watching from the side, this moment will never be forgotten.

Sakura-chan surfing for the first time was so excited.

and the little brave one. Kanna-chan wanted to surf all by herself. look at her fans in the inside cheering her on!

so happy smile! peace.

Nao-san was so excited too. maybe even more than the kids. haha.

and Arai-san was super cool. took him to the outside and watched him catch some amazing waves.

another family bonding session. what an awesome day i’ll never forget!

then we were all hungry so went to eat some pho. right after this, Kanna-chan said “Papa, take me to the pool!” really? where does she get all that energy from? haha. thank you to the Arai-san family for the wonderful family surfing day!
