Check it out.<br \/>\nDear Kirby,<br \/>\nWhen we were surfing I thought I was\u3000dreaming\u3000but my\u3000best\u3000part is go all the way<br \/>\nshore.I have a question.Why do you like surfing?How many wave did you take?<br \/>\nI wish that I can surf with you again.Thank you so much!!<br \/>\nKanta<br \/>\nHello Kanta,<br \/>\nHow are you today?<br \/>\nThank you so much for your email.<br \/>\nI was happy to surf with you again this past weekend.<br \/>\nYour surfing is getting much better and I&#8217;m glad you enjoy it.<br \/>\nNext time, we will catch bigger and longer waves!<br \/>\nYou&#8217;re a very cute kid and I hope you can enjoy surfing all the time in Hawaii.<br \/>\nYou asked me &#8220;why do i like surfing?&#8221;<br \/>\nI like surfing because it&#8217;s fun, healthy, relaxing, and we can meet so many good friends in the ocean.<br \/>\nAnd it&#8217;s because of surfing I could met you too.
