Hey, where did the abalone go??? Haha.
Enjoy the moment. Enjoy life.

i’m always very lucky to surf with honeymooners. these 2 never surfed together, but now they do. a great start to a great marriage. thank you Saito-san and Shuko-san for the wonderful 2 days!

like i always say, the ocean can bring out the biggest smiles in anyone.

before we went surfing, i told Shuko-san; guarantee you will stand up. she didn’t believe me until her first wave. after this, it was too easy for her.

Saito-san just want to get better and better. we were working on a few basic things and wave after wave, he was surfing better and better. so stoked to see him ripping!

i’m sure Saito-san will practice more in japan and come to hawaii next year surfing better than ever.

yeah! keep on surfing!
