Marin is only 7 years old and loves to surf just like his dad.  we caught so many good waves together.  rode some long ones, fell on a few, but it was all fun!  Marin is such a brave kid!  he kept on coming up smiling after we fell off.  when ever i take kids surfing, i fall off on purpose so they become use to it.  yeah, the freak out the first time, but after i come up laughing, they start to laugh too.  just trying to make them feel comfortable in the ocean without traumatizing them.  i&#8217;m pretty sure this kid is hooked on surfing after today!  and i&#8217;m pretty hooked on teaching kids how to surf.  i love kids and just to see them enjoying the ocean makes me happy.  i learned how to surf just about Marin&#8217;s age and i will never forget that experience.  who&#8217;s got the best job in the world?  ME!  enjoy!<br \/>\nTo Hide-san, thank you for a wonderful 3 days.  Your surfing was getting better and better.  I especially enjoyed surfing today with you and your cute son.  Watching you both smile in the ocean really made it a special day for me.  I&#8217;m sure you and Marin will have lots to talk about after today.  Enjoy your last night in Hawaii and please go to the front desk to pick up the video i shot today.  I just dropped it off and I don&#8217;t want you to take it back with you.  It is so precious!  Aloha<br \/>\nTo Marin, you did great today.  I was so happy to see you again.  You are getting so good at surfing!  Please remember to look forward and keep your knees bent.  And I&#8217;m glad you liked the huge hamburger, french fries, and shave ice.  I will see you again next year.  Study hard and listen to Mommy and Daddy.   Shaka brah!<br \/>\n[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hI761r0l9rQ[\/youtube]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>wow, i had such a fun time surfing yesterday with my little friend Marin and his father Hide-san. i took Marin surfing last year for his first time and he came back this year for more.
