This was my second surfing experience in a different area, and although I didn't make much progress, I had a great time. The waves were small that day, and I was able to practice standing on the board with the help of my instructor by timing my pushes with the little waves. It was sufficient for a beginner. At one point, I ran out of energy and took a break on the board, but the beautiful sea made me feel good.

The waves were small that day, and I was able to practice standing on the board with the help of my instructor by timing my pushes with the little waves. It was sufficient for a beginner. At one point, I ran out of energy and took a break on the board, but the beautiful sea made me feel good. Normally, I would carry the heavy board myself, but I was grateful for the help from the young people from Korea who were in the same lesson when I needed to bring it up from the water. They also took a lot of photos, which created wonderful memories of Okinawa. I accidentally forgot the name of the person who assisted me, but they provided necessary advice to each individual. I definitely want to participate again! 別の地域でサーフィン体験をしたことがあり2度目でしたがあまり進歩はないものの楽しい時間でした。波はあまりない日で小さな波にタイミングを合わせてボードを押してもらい、立つ練習ができました。初心者には充分です。途中で体力がなくなってボードの上で休憩した時も海がきれいで気分よかったです。自分が使う重いボードを運ぶことも本来自分ですることですが、海から上げる時など、同じレッスンに参加されていた韓国の若者たちが手伝ってくれて感謝でした。写真もたくさん撮っていただき沖縄のいい思い出になりました。担当してくだ… 別の地域でサーフィン体験をしたことがあり2度目でしたがあまり進歩はないものの楽しい時間でした。波はあまりない日で小さな波にタイミングを合わせてボードを押してもらい、立つ練習ができました。初心者には充分です。途中で体力がなくなってボードの上で休憩した時も海がきれいで気分よかったです。自分が使う重いボードを運ぶことも本来自分ですることですが、海から上げる時など、同じレッスンに参加されていた韓国の若者たちが手伝ってくれて感謝でした。写真もたくさん撮っていただき沖縄のいい思い出になりました。担当してくださった方のお名前をうっかり忘れてしまいましたが、一人一人に必要なアドバイスをしてくれました。またぜひ参加したいと思います！

Each time I tried, I received advice like "You can do it better this way," which allowed me to ride multiple times. Thank you very much!
I was very happy to be able to do this in the beautiful sea of Okinawa. Although it was unfortunately cloudy, there were no clouds on the horizon, and I was able to enjoy a beautiful sunset while waiting for the waves!トライの度に「もっとこうすると良いよ」とアドバイスいただき、何度も乗ることができました。ありがとうございました！
そして、沖縄の綺麗な海の中でできてとても幸せでした。あいにくの曇りでしたが、水平線には雲はなく、波を待ちながら綺麗なサンセットを見ることができました！

During our trip to Okinawa, my wife really wanted to go surfing, so I reluctantly agreed to go.

I didn't think I would be able to stand up even once since I'm not particularly athletic, but the instructor taught us patiently, and I was able to ride the waves multiple times. The time flew by, and it was truly enjoyable. I definitely want to do it again.沖縄旅行にて、奥さんがどうしてもサーフィンに行きたいとの事で、渋々行くこととなりました。

そこまで運動神経が良いということもないので、1度も立ち上がれずに終わるのかなと思っていましたが、
インストラクターの方が丁寧に教えて下さり、無事何度も乗ることが出来ました。
あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまい、本当に楽しかったです。是非またやりたいと思います。
