The trade winds came back but were very light. \u00a0That made the conditions absolutely perfect all day long. \"\"<\/p>\n

Ogura-san was a little nervous before we paddled out this morning but soon after this first beautiful ride, the nervousness turned into happiness. \"\"<\/p>\n

I think she caught over 20 long rides this morning. \u00a0She wanted to surf waist high waves so I told her it was waist high today. \u00a0I lied. \u00a0Haha. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Each wave Ogura-san’s surfing was getting better and better. \u00a0Then the photos started to really bring out how happy she was. \u00a0This is how everybody should be enjoying the ocean…\"\"<\/p>\n

Round 2 we went out practicing the cutback. \u00a0Perfect waves and seemed like it was getting bigger. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

I don’t know anywhere else in the world where you can surf perfect off shore waves like this everyday. \u00a0Uncrowded, warm water, easy access, and as blue you will ever see. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Riding a longer board and waiting way outside for the set of the day. \u00a0This is how you do it!\"\"<\/p>\n

After all these years, I can no longer ride in front of Hashimoto-san anymore. \u00a0His surfing level got so high that I will only be in his way. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

So I shoot photos from behind and try to keep up with his speed. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Then I wait for this cutback! \u00a0We spent a week working on this maneuver so we can get a good photo. \u00a0This is it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
