Go-Naminori!


With Miwa-san! Welcome to Hawaii!

Surf First, Wedding Next.

it’s so fun meeting all kinds of people. watching their first impressions of hawaii, watching their first wave, and being a part of their dream hawaiian vacation is awesome. met a bunch of people getting married in hawaii, having a honeymoon, or even anniversary. but it was my first time ever taking a groom surfing a few hours before the biggest day of his life.

Endo-san had his own wedding scheduled for 11am. i picked him up before sunrise, headed to the beach, and paddled out for his last bachelor surf session.

it was a beautiful day. as we were paddling out, i was telling myself “omg, this guy better not get hurt! if he does, i’m in big trouble!”

it would be any surfers dream to start out their hawaiian wedding day with a wave in the golden sunrise.

i kept on looking at my watch to make sure i get Endo-san to his wedding on time. i think i was more nervous than him. haha.

we came in, he took a shower, and i drove him to his wedding. i remember telling the wedding coordinator to please take care of his surfboard. i’m sure Endo-san had the best wedding day ever! and i’m sure he will be happy forever because he found the perfect wife. a wife that will let you surf a few hours before your wedding is a great wife. i wish you two the best future ahead!
