Mako-chan is the cutest little girl. at only age 14, she is very smart and has a very magical smile. she surfed perfectly and i was so happy to see her enjoying herself.

surfing on the same wave with her father Kawano-san. to me, photos like this are the most precious. father and daughter bonding here in hawaii.

Mako-chan never snorkeled before so i took her in the shore break. after 1 minute, she got bored so i put her on the longboard and paddled out to sea.

i couldn’t see her facial expressions, but i could hear her exciting voice through her snorkel. i could tell she was amazed by the new wonderful world she seen.

i towed her around the ocean for about 40 minutes and she never came up. she just kept on looking at all the fish.

and when she did come up when we were finished, i could see her beautiful smile. great job surfing and snorkeling Mako-chan! hope to see you again! let’s go eat a hamburger. haha.

and a wonderful treat from fukuoka. hakata torimon. thank you Kawano-san!
