\"\"<\/p>\n

Today is summer solstice so that means it’s the longest day of the year. \u00a0Each day after today will be shorter and shorter. \u00a0I can’t wait until it gets dark at 6pm again because it’s hard to sleep when the sun is shining in my window.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This morning was super fun. \u00a0The girls paddled out to their own little wave and had 6 heats. \u00a0Gaining more knowledge heat after heat. \u00a0We’re getting Seira-chan ready for her big contest that’s coming up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since the contest in Japan could possibly be about this size, we practiced on short boards and worked on technique. \u00a0I was the judge sitting in the channel watching the girls compete for waves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While Seira-chan was waiting for a wave, a shark swam to the left of her. \u00a0We both saw the fin come out of the water which was pretty cool. \u00a0Then she saw about 7 turtles today too. \u00a0Dolphins yesterday, and monk seals the day before. \u00a0Luck girl.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When we’re having heats, the girls are very serious. \u00a0You have to put your friendship aside and be wanting to win. \u00a0If you can’t do that, you shouldn’t be surfing contests.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Smooth style like this will impress any judge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Good surfing today girls. \u00a0I forgot we went for Round 2 but too sunburnt for that. \u00a0Photos of that coming tomorrow. \u00a0Goodnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
