Movie Day

After watching the Pipeline Master, I decided to check out Cinemax for a new movie. This place is beautiful and huge.

So I decided to see the new movie TRON legacy. This movie was Unreal. With all the special effects, graphics and sounds it's worth the money. Especially in 3D.

Yuki & I in our goofy 3D glasses....hahaha!!

Hahaha! Here I am with my cartoon buddies!! What???

Our lunch at Pepper Lunch. Just love this place cheap and quick service.

Chiba Kita surfing with Team GAEA

Surfed somewhere in chiba kita today with my sponsor & GAEA surf crew. Can't say where we surfed but what a fun day. Waves were fun and everyone got some great waves. Otsukaresama desu.

Here we are getting ready to surf. It was a surprise because the crowd was unbelievable today...hahaha! Look at our faces...WOwwww!!!!

Ok, lunch time. GAEA surf crew waiting for the grindz. Mean while everyone smile for the camera. LOL!

Here's my lunch. Some chicken thing, this was amazing. Just for ¥650 worth the price.

Oh boy had so much to eat. Couldn't hardly even surf because I was so full.

Getting ready for another surf session. Round 2!

Wax, leash, boards. Ok lets go!

I hope everyone had a great time in Chiba. Hope to see you all again. Have a great holiday season & aloha.

Hand Shaping

So I have been interested in shaping my own surfboards. I got the opportunity to shape my own hand shape surfboard, thanks to my shaper Sudo Yuki and my sponsor Daichi. Thank you guys for everything, also thanks Yo-chan, Koshi and Kazuo.....oh,yeah! Here is the result of my hand shape board.

Testing my board in some surf. Worked well in small surf. This board handles in 5ft surf too! Super stoked for my first hand shape.

Turns really good. Loose and very responsive.

Fast in the pocket. Enjoying a little tube riding...haha! Thanks Ryuji for the pics.

Promotions from Ibaragi to Chiba

Recently I have been doing promotions around japan. The latest promotion I traveled to Ibaragi. Fun trip with everyone, and fun waves.

In chiba for a promo with my sponsor, also Ebihara from ESC surf came along. What a challenging day in the water. The current was really tuff!haha! But at least we got waves.

Wow! Restart surfboards all around. Here in this photo someone is checking out my new fun board model. This board is the next best thing to longboarding. I designed this board with my shaper. Its a mix between shortboarding & longboarding. Super fun for beginners to expert level surfers.

Restart has a big selection in surfboards. From shortboards, funboards,longboards, and even SUP's board. Check out RESTART surfboards if you are interested.

The parking lot at Oonuki. Imagine what the water look like.....people everywhere!haha! Such a fun day.
