good evening. gosh, what an awesome day for surf on our south shores. a solid swell hit today and with no wind, perfect conditions. surfed our little secret spot this morning for 2 hours. overhead and perfect. caught about a 100 waves and had one of the best sessions i had in a while. surfed out.. came in and drove around to check other spots….
no, this is not backdoor/pipe. this is town today. we got an off season swell and nobody’s complaining…. that wave is 4′ and perfect…
japanese pro surfers session on the south shore. every japanese staying on the north shore came to town. so did photographers and video guys. tetta mori, shu hagiwara, shinpei horiguchi, yuki tako, keito matsuoka, satoru nakachi, and some others were ripping this semi secret spot. oh, even pro bodyboarder aoi koike was there. i don’t really want to say where because it’s starting to get crowded. and the worst part is, the wave isn’t that good. i use to surf here with my friends to get away from the crowds. on a day like today, there would only be us out. but now days, too dam crowded. i was actually kind of bummed out… part is my fault so i guess i can’t complain…. ended up going back in the evening to the secret spot we surfed this morning. got there at 4pm. right when we paddled out, the winds turned and the north winds blew straight offshore. the waves were epic. surfed with kenji sahara, todd mitsui, chiaki okayama, and maki vernon. had an awesome session and an awesome day of surfing in town. same thing tomorrow…..
