I just got the official word today that Ryu has been accepted to be a part of the Hobie Fishing team!  At 11 years old, I think that is a great accomplishment for Ryu.  I know he will represent Hobie well.  I couldn't be more proud of him!  Of course I am his dad, but I think Hobie got a great deal in signing him up given the results he has shown.

  What a great accomplishment for Ryu.

  Is that a record for the youngest member ?
Life is short---live it tall.

Be kinder than necessary--- everyone is fighting some kind of battle.

Sailors may be struck down at any time, in calm or in storm, but the sea does not do it for hate or spite.
She has no wrath to vent. Nor does she have a hand in kindness to extend.
She is merely there, immense, powerful, and indifferent

Congrats to both of you!

And Rudy, you really need to get a really good print of picture #2 made up and hangin' on a wall.  Boost the contrast up a hair, desaturate the cyans a bit, and get an 8x10 or maybe 11x17...

Congratulations Ryu!  It won't be long before you're challenging your old man for title of "Top Dog" on the water.  ;D
