My first time surfing!
Posted Date: 2021/10/20
沖縄大好き
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were only two participants, my sister and me, so we could join without any worries. The weather was great, and it was a surfing experience at a hidden beach with crystal-clear water. It was my very first time surfing, but thanks to Yoshi, who identified the best waves for us, I was able to stand up on my third try! Since there were only two of us, we could keep trying over and over until we were completely exhausted, which was so much fun. I was surprised that… Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were only two participants, my sister and me, so we could join without any worries.

Thank you for everything! コロナ禍ということもあり、参加者は私たち姉妹の２人だけでしたので、何も気にすることなく安心して参加できました。
天気にも恵まれ、透き通る水の穴場的ビーチでのサーフィン体験でした。
全く初めてのサーフィンだったのですが、ヨッシーさんが乗りやすい波を見極めてくれたおかげで３回目のトライで立つことができました！！
２人しかいなかったので、クタクタに疲れるまで何度も何度もトライすることができて楽しかったです。
まさか初めてで立てるとは思っていなかったので、ビックリしました。
お世話になりました～！！

The instructor created a homey atmosphere, allowing us to enjoy surfing and stand-up paddleboarding without feeling nervous. It was the best time surfing in the beautiful waters of Okinawa. If I have the chance to go to Okinawa again, I would love to experience it once more.インストラクターの方がアットホームな会話で緊張することなく、サーフィンやサップができて楽しかったです。沖縄のきれいな海でサーフィンできて最高のひと時でした。沖縄にまた行くことがあればまた経験したいです。

We participated as a parent (53 years old) and child (25 years old). Thank you for considering various options since the usual time and place had poor waves. You kept in touch frequently, and everything was well-prepared on the day, which made it enjoyable. The ocean was beautiful and soothing. Okinawa is the best!親（53歳）、子（25歳）での参加です。
今回は通常通りの時間と場所では波が良くないと言うことで色々と考えてくださりありがとうございました。
こまめに連絡をいただけたし、当日も準備万端整えてもらい楽しくできました。
海が綺麗で癒されました。

I had my first surfing experience. Thanks to Yoshi's relaxed personality, I was able to take it in with a calm mindset, and his teaching was great, so I was able to stand up quickly and had an amazing time.

It was such a wonderful experience that I would love to learn from him again.

Thank you very much!初めてのサーフィンを体験させていただきました。
よっしーのゆったりした人柄でリラックスした気持ちで取り込めたのか、教え方が良かったのもありすぐに立つことも出来て最高に楽しめました。

とてもいい体験が出来たので、また教えてもらいたいと思いました。

本当にありがとうございました

It was my first challenge, so I was very nervous, but thanks to my encounter with Hana-chan the kid goat and the kind and thorough instruction from Yoshisensei, I was able to practice very enjoyably (^o^).

Thanks to the clear explanations of the equipment, the mock practice on the sandy beach, and the guidance on how to respond when falling off the board, I was able to challenge myself without any injuries and felt safe (^o^).

When I first saw the waves, I thought it was absolutely impossible! However, Yoshisensei pushed me at just the right moment while watching the waves, so I managed to stand up p(^-^)q. Next time, I want to increase the number of times I can stand up and work on riding the waves more steadily o(^o^)o. Yoshisensei, I look forward to your guidance again (^o^).

When I mentioned that it had been a while since I landed in Okinawa, Yoshisensei, who actually has the persona of a writer!? (laughs), shared various recommendations about the area (^o^). I tried the recommended uni cream mussels at Onna Station, and they were so delicious that I also had the scallops and head-on shrimp with uni cream (^o^)v. Thank you for the great information, Yoshisensei o(^o^)o. I have fallen in love with Okinawa (^o^). 初めての挑戦だったので、とても緊張していましたが、子やぎのはなちゃんとの出会いや、よし先生が親切に丁寧に教えて下さったおかげでとても楽しく練習をする事ができました(^o^)

用具の説明や砂浜での模擬練習、ボードから落ちた時の対応等、基本からしっかり教えて下さったおかげで怪我もなく、安心して挑戦できました(^o^)
最初波を見た時は絶対無理！と思いましたが、よし先生が波を見ながら良いタイミングで押して下さるので何とか立てましたp(^-^)q
次回は立てる回数を増やせたり、安定して波に乗れるよう頑張りたいですo(^o^)o

My first lesson with Yoshi-sensei was so much fun that this is my third attempt!
The weather and waves change from day to day, so I get to experience various conditions, which is very educational.
They provide wetsuits and special boots, so even in the middle of winter, practicing in the warm and beautiful waters of Okinawa is the best!
The teacher gives precise advice on each form, and when I arch my body in sync with his call of "kihoon," it feels like magic as I stand up!

一つ一つのフォームに的確にアドバイスして下さり、先生の「きほーん」というかけ声に合わせて上体を反らすと魔法のように立てます☆

Even as a complete beginner at surfing, I was able to do it! During a girls' trip to Okinawa, we decided we wanted to try surfing, so we signed up through Veltra! I was also comforted by my pet goat, Hana. First, we signed some forms and changed our clothes.

We walked to the beach and started by learning the basic stance in the sand. After that, we went into the ocean to practice. They carefully taught us about foot positioning and timing!

Even someone like me, who doesn't usually exercise, was able to ride the waves after a few attempts. There were times I almost gave up, but the support made it worth the challenge! Riding the waves was a lot of fun!

I was also able to take a shower outdoors! I want to try it again!! They even took photos for us!! サーフィンど素人でもできました！

This was my second surfing experience, and it was a really solid and fun time! The instructor, Yoshi, was very friendly and nice, and even when I was about to give up halfway through, he supported me until the end so I could try again! I would love to visit again when I go to Okinawa! Thank you so much! :)サーフィン体験は2回目でしたが、凄くしっかりと体験できた、楽しい時間でした！先生のYoshiさんはとてもフレンドリーでナイスな方でして、私が途中で諦めようとしてても、諦めずにまたトライできるよう最後までサポートしてくれました！また沖縄行ったらまたお訪ねしたいと思いますー！ありがとうございました〜:)

Yoshi, who guided us, was very kind and had interesting stories to share.
It was my first time surfing on a reef, but as long as I was a little careful when falling, it was fine.

I have less experience, so I had someone push my board. In the last few rides, I challenged myself to take off on my own while getting timing advice. And for the first time, I was able to ride a wave by myself! It was such a joyful experience.
Surfing in the incredibly clear sea is truly refreshing, so I recommend it when visiting Okinawa. 夫婦で参加しました。

Since we are beginners, we consulted in advance about the reservation time and date, and on the day of the event, we were fortunate to have great weather and just the right waves.

As we were all inexperienced, we took a long time to change and prepare, so we went straight into practice without any paddling training. However, Yoshi stayed close to my mother, who was anxious, and she was able to enjoy herself despite her fear of the sea. Since she had difficulty even approaching shallow water after nearly drowning in the past, I believe Yoshi's reassuring aura helped her feel safe.

The sea was indeed beautiful, and even if beginners couldn't ride the waves, just floating on the board was enjoyable! The other three of us, including myself, were able to ride the waves under Yoshi's guidance. He has a great ability to judge the timing of the waves and pushes the board at just the right moment. I hope many people get to enjoy the experience with Yoshi! 膝が悪い母を含め家族全員初挑戦でした。
素人のため予約する時間や日程なども前もって相談させていただき、見事当日は良い天気で波も丁度良く気持ちい日でした。

不慣れなメンバーばかりで着替えや準備に時間をかけてしまった関係でパドリングの練習無しで、実践となりましたが不安だった母にはつきっきりで対応いただき、海が怖い母でも楽しめたそうです。昔海で溺れて以来、浅瀬にも近づきづらかった母なのでそれだけヨッシーさんが安心できるオーラを出していたと思います。

海もやはり綺麗で、初心者で乗れなかったとしてもボードに浮いているだけでも楽しめます!母以外の3人、自分も含め、ヨッシーさんの指導で波に乗れました。それぐらい波のタイミングを良く見極め、丁度良くボードをプッシュしてくれます。ヨッシーさんとの体験はぜひ多くの方に楽しんでいただきたいです!
