Since my first pregnancy, I've been away from BB... My youngest is now four years old! He can play with Dad quite a bit, and since they can watch the kids, I finally got to try surfing, which I've wanted to do for a long time! ☆彡 The explanations about stance and everything were super easy to understand, and I had a really great experience! The teacher's personality was also fantastic!
By chance, I was the only student, so I was really lucky!
Honestly, the paddle training was tough, but the joy of finally being able to ride made it worth it, and I was able to push through!
When I return to Japan, I’ll work hard so that my husband and kids won’t make fun of me!!!
一人目の妊娠から、遠のいていたBB・・・。
下も今年4歳!だいぶパパと男遊びもできるようになり、子供たちをみていてくれるというので…前からやりたかったサーフィンに初挑戦☆彡
スタンスの表現等、私にはすっごく説明がわかり易く、とっても良い体験が出来ました!
先生の人柄も◎~!!
たまたま、生徒が私のみだったので、私はかなりラッキーでした!
パドル修行は、正直きつかったですが、その分乗れた時の喜びが買っていて頑張れました!
日本に帰っても主と子供たちに馬鹿にされないように頑張るど~!!!

Day of parasail was cancelled due to high winds. We rescheduled which turned out to be perfect. Really enjoyed staff and parasail. It's a must.

This was a repeat activity for us so obviously we like it before. It is surprisingly peaceful once you are up in the air and the views are spectacular. I like to stick my arms out a la Superman; I figure this is the closest I'll ever get to feeling like I'm flying. The only negative is my wife didn't care for it the last time, so she just went as an observer (rides in the boat but doesn't parasail). She loves the boat ride so that works for her, but the crew doesn't let anyone go up solo so if you don't have a partner, you end up going up with some stranger. The crew is good at what they do and are very safety conscious.

I tried parasailing for the first time with him. At first, the staff told us, "Not this boat! That one!" and it was quite chaotic. In the end, we were able to get on the boat, but it felt a bit invasive.
Parasailing was so much fun! Due to the weather, only two groups, including us, were able to fly... but we were lucky to be the last ones to board the boat despite our packed schedule!
I was nervous until we took off, but the beautiful view of Waikiki and the round rainbow we saw when looking down were amazing!
Since we understood English, we were able to enjoy it, but it might be a bit inconvenient for those who don't speak English. They speak quickly, and I think you might wonder what they are saying.
I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication.
It became a really great memory!☆
彼と一緒に始めてパラセイリングをしてみました。
はじめにスタッフの人に
“こっちの船じゃない!あっちだ!”
と追いやられ、てんやわんやでした。
結局船には乗せてもらえましたがちょっと侵害でした。
パラセイリングはとっても楽しかったです!
お天気の関係で私たちを含めて2組しか飛べませんでしたが…予定びっしりの私たちが一番最後に船に乗り込めてラッキーでした!
飛ぶまではどきどきでしたが、ワイキキのきれいな景色と、なんといっても下を見下ろしたときに見れた丸い虹は最高でした!
英語がわかる私たちだったので楽しめましたが、
英語がわからないとちょっと不便です。
早口ですし、何言ってるのかなぁ?って思ってしまうと思います。
酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。
とっても良い思い出になりました☆

This was my fifth time going to Hawaii, but it was my first time parasailing. The time spent in the air is about 10 minutes, but the motorboat moves quickly, and it's fun because you can also enjoy whale watching while you're on it. Up in the sky, the movement is slow, so from below, it looks like you're going quite high, but it's not scary at all. There was no shaking either. I want to do it again.
ハワイに行くのは5回目でしたが、パラセイリングは初めてでした。上空にいる時間は10分ぐらいですが、モーターボートは進むのが早く、ホエールウォッチングも兼ねて乗っていられるので楽しいです。空の上では進むのがゆっくりので、下から見ていると結構高くまで上がっているのですが、全く恐くありません。揺れもありませんでした。もう一度やりたいです。

I've lived in Waikiki for the last 5 years, a block from beach, and watched the para-sailers every day. It was always on my to do list but I never made the time. After finally doing it, I wish I had done it sooner! It's such a fun and beautiful experience. Not only do you get to parasail, you get the boat ride and the view of Waikiki from the ocean! We also saw whales jumping which was really the icing on the cake. Being able to float above Waikiki was scenic and peaceful and a rush, all at the same time. The crew is very talented and a make the experience fun as well. What an amazing feeling as you lift off the back of the boat and gently float up. A must do!

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the parasailing. It was a tremendously relaxing feeling for both of us. We took the 1000 ft. line and would do it again. Captain Duncan and crewman Kevin were both jovial and attentive to detail. Felt safe at all times.
I highly recommend buying the pictures.

When you think of Hawaii, you think of surfing! So, I took my first challenge. Since the board is big, it's easy to balance and you'll be able to ride it quickly! The waiting time for waves can be long, so I recommend the intensive course because an hour and a half goes by in no time.
One thing to be careful about is that I accidentally forgot to put sunscreen on my legs, and I ended up with swelling and a bad experience, so don't forget it!
ハワイといえばサーフィン!ということで、初チャレンジしました。
大きいボードなのでバランスが取りやすくすぐに乗れるようになりますよ!
波待ちの時間が長いので、1時間半だとあっという間に時間が経ってしまうと思うので集中コースのほうがおすすめです。
気をつけてもらいたいのが、脚に日焼け止めを塗るのをうっかり忘れてしまい、腫れてひどい目に遭いましたのでお忘れなく。

Thank you so much for my surfing experience! Four days was definitely not enough for me and I miss it already. You all were so kind and helpful. This was, by far, the best surfing experience I've had in all my attempts to learn. Because of that, I'm planning on picking up some classes out here in California once the weather gets better. So hopefully by the time I return next year, I'll be on a much smaller board =). You guys are awesome!

My two hours with Mito were such a highlight of my time on Oahu I am telling lots of people who are going to the islands that this is a "must do" activity. We had so much fun together and I actually was able to stand, sort of. I have balance problems and thought this was something I would try and enjoy, no expectation of success. I am still not the best in the balance arena, but I did stand on two feet without hands--an accomplishment for me and a credit to Mito's skill as a teacher.

I had a great time learning how to stand up paddle surf. The instructors are really good at what they do, and they make sure that you are comfortable going out into the ocean. Stand up paddling is a really good workout, because you are paddling, as well as, keeping your balance. You are getting a workout, but you are having a lot of fun, which makes the time and exercise fly by.

My husband experienced it for the first time in 20 years, and it was my first experience, but the staff taught us various things in advance, so we felt safe entering the sea. We had a lesson with three people, including someone from Europe, and they helped us compare the waves so that everyone could ride equally. It was exciting to ride the waves and I was thrilled. I definitely want to participate again.
主人は20年ぶり、私は初体験でしたが、スタッフの方が事前にいろいろ教えてくれ安心して海に入れました。

Before I book this activity I thought as an individual, they will put myself on the "parachute" only, but they weren't, they simply put me with two other strangers together, I don't even know them, I feel so bad. That's why I didn't leave them a penny. The shuttle drivers is a nice guy, I leave him 10 bucks.

I was worried about whether I could stand up since it was my first time surfing, but both of us managed to stand and it was so much fun!!
I am really grateful to our instructor, Yuko. She taught us the basics properly, and when I mentioned that I wanted to surf in Japan, she shared a lot of information.
Yuko is kind, thorough, and... cute♪
Thank you so much!!
It was so enjoyable that although we originally planned to surf for just one day, we added another day on-site!! I highly recommend it for beginners☆
You can participate with peace of mind, and communication is clear, plus they teach the basics in an easy-to-understand way.
If you go to Hawaii, definitely give it a try!!
I will definitely participate again on my next trip to Hawaii!! Yuko, I hope to see you again then☆★☆★

Despite the scheduling difficulties and my insistence, they kindly agreed to help me.
I was able to learn properly from the basics and really catch the waves!! The excitement when I stood up was incredible. When I stumbled in the shallow water, I got a few scrapes, but I see those as proof of my effort. Moreover, the instructor was very friendly and cute. It felt more like hanging out with friends among the girls, which made it even more enjoyable. I had a fantastic time surfing, and it truly became a wonderful memory.

I went to Hawaii during Golden Week. My husband and I took a three-hour lesson. My husband has been surfing for seven years, and I was a beginner, but he took me to a beach near Ala Moana where there were few people, and we both had a great time.
There were six people in our group, and we had two super cute Japanese instructors, which was an incredible luxury for me to have a surf lesson in Japanese in Hawaii as a beginner. They were gentle when we entered the water and encouraged me, who lacks stamina, so I was able to take the lesson with peace of mind.
My husband really liked the beach with no people, and when he mentioned that he wanted to surf there again the next day, they kindly brought the surfboard to Ala Moana Beach for our lesson the next day. He was very satisfied that he could surf outside of Waikiki without renting a car.
I definitely want to request this again next time.
ゴールデンウィークにハワイに行ってきました。

海に入っても優しく、そして体力のない私を励ましてくださり、安心してレッスンを受けることができました。

I originally started shortboarding in Japan, but I struggled with takeoff. I felt some resistance to lessons in Japan, so I thought I would participate in Hawaii instead.
As a man, I wondered how it would be with only female instructors, but the atmosphere was quite friendly and pleasant. The instructor was, of course, beautiful (laughs). The lessons were tailored to my level, and the teaching was both theoretical and easy to understand, allowing me to grasp the concepts during the lesson! Of course, I worked on perfecting my takeoff as well!
As soon as I returned to Japan, I challenged myself on the shortboard and was able to take off right away!
I finally became a surfer. Thank you, instructor Yu-ko!!
もともと日本でショートボードを始めたのですが、テイクオフがなかなか難しくつまずいてました。日本でのレッスンはなんか抵抗もあり、ハワイでならと思い参加しました。
