what’s up everyone, for years and years and time after time, not too many people believe me when i tell them that the waves get big in japan. well, if you know where to go, you can get pretty solid hawaiian style surf here. check these photos out thats coming out in the next Surf1st magazine…. oh, kin-san took these….
this wave is somewhere down south. i’ve been there before and i refuse to say where it is. find it for yourself….. and when you do, hold on to your balls….
no, this is not huge tavarua. no, this is not hawaii outer reefs. and no, this is not tow-in. this is shimpei horiguchi paddling in on a moster in japan. i remember i called kinsan from hawaii and he just got out of the water. he told me the waves were 15′. i didn’t believe him then and i still don’t believe him now. this is not 15′, this is more like 20’….. shimpei’s the man. in fact, i’m heading up to nanki this morning to shimpei’s home town. going to check him out and give him a pat on the back. fricken good job. making the japanese big wave surfers look good…..
