surfing and i remember each one.  it&#8217;s like i&#8217;m living my childhood memories again.  till this day, i remember the first wave i caught when i was 6 years old.  i remember riding the white water at haleiwa just as it was yesterday.  so reliving the moment is always fun and i think these kids will remember their first wave for the rest of their lives.  this is Marine, he broke his finger a few days before we were supposed to go surfing but he still wanted to go.  we went out, we caught so many waves, and i&#8217;ll remember this day forever!<br \/>\n<a
