Surfing

These are a few pictures from our first surfing trip. Our fellow teacher friends Adam (and his daughter Alise) and Brian asked us to join them. It was a guided trip through the base with our two favorite Japanese surfing instructors: Jumbo (yep, that's his real name) and Masa. We wore wet suits, but compared to the frigid Northwest coast, the water was very warm, especially for late October (did I just reveal how out of date my blog is?). The waves are pretty inconsistent in size from day to day,so we kind of took a gamble on whether it would be surfing weather. As the pictures show, it wasn't. The waves weren't big at ALL, but it was perfect for a relaxed day at the beach. The best part was how amazingly clear the water is. You can always see straight down to the bottom!

Masa's got skills.







Surfing without a wave: I am THAT good.



Check out that water!
