Hi, I'd like to suggest this anime. Minato Hinageshi considers his lover Hinako his personal heroine for saving him as a child. She is an excellent surfer, and he tries to learn the sport out of respect and love for her. This leads to tragedy when he catches a wave alone one day during a winter storm because he wanted to surprise Hinako and wow her. As a result, Hinako is unable to surf and acutely experiences the loss of a loved one. In SK8, Langa thinks Reki is an amazing skater, especially after seeing his extreme skating in the second episode (in photos and video). He tries to become just as cool and extreme, and it almost leads to tragedy. Because overly enthusiastic about dangerous racing, Langa is left unattended by Reki. And Reki, amazed by Langa's sudden success, doesn't realize he's being imitated, and in desperation almost quits skateboarding. In the end, in both anime Hinako and Reki have to overpower themselves and return to their favorite sport for the sake of the people they care about.
