\"\"another gorgeous sunset in Honolulu…<\/p>\n

\"\"i’ve coached Aoi-kun for a few years. \u00a0 now he’s growing up and getting better on his own. \u00a0so busy in school so hardly in the ocean. \u00a0so to see him paddle out with confidence, and watch him take off on this beautiful wave was cool. \u00a0 i kept quiet and just watched to see what this kid was going to do on this perfect wave.<\/p>\n

\"\"then from behind, i see his whole board and fins flying out. \u00a0big sprays too and i was wondering if he made it? \u00a0and yes, he did! \u00a0i paddled back out with the biggest smile on my face. \u00a0and i was hoping everyone saw it. \u00a0haha…<\/p>\n

\"\"back to Dr. Hara-san yesterday. \u00a0cool take off and cool rides.<\/p>\n

\"\"i just love this angle. \u00a0it shows you what us surfers see as we’re riding a wave sent by Mother Nature.<\/p>\n

\"\"and since i didn’t have my foil, i stood tall on the top of the wave and shot down like a drone. \u00a0came out pretty cool!<\/p>\n

\"\"then to my favorite dimsum at Chinatown.<\/p>\n

\"\"the sesame balls with azuki beans surprises everyone i take there. \u00a0even 10 year old Kai-chan was surprised. \u00a0haha…<\/p>\n

\"\"had a great conversation. \u00a0Mili-chan is writing a thesis paper on the topic of Japanese\/Americans. \u00a0so she asked me a few interesting questions. \u00a0that topic always reminds me of my Grandparents and whenever i get reminded of my Grandparents, i’m a very happy man! \u00a0 thank you Dr. Hara-san, Mili-chan, Kyoko-san, and Kai-chan for these amazing years of growth. \u00a0always a treat to see you guys…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
