\"\"<\/p>\n

Yesterday evening once more: \u00a0First time to Hawaii, and first time surfing. \u00a0Making a memory of a lifetime!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And to see the baby monk seal named “Mahina” on the beach is a bonus.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First up was Saito-san. \u00a0Imagine standing up and riding a wave for the first time in your life? \u00a0It’s not only exciting, it’s amazing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And once you experience the connection with nature, nothing can beat the feeling. \u00a0The smile will come out sooner or later.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next was Sugimoto-san. \u00a0First wave and got up easily. \u00a0It was high tide and super bumpy so it was actually very challenging.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And when you take the challenge and succeed, you will be a very happy girl.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Surf, sunset, and smiles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This morning Round 1: \u00a0The girls racing back to the beach. \u00a0We do this a lot and now I can’t even keep up with them. \u00a0They are fast!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Round 2: \u00a0Empty Diamond Head and one of the best days in a while. \u00a0If you love a challenge, you will love this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
