ok, yesterday was really good here in shikoku. morning better, but evening still good. super glassy perfect right hand point break as good as it gets. there is no wave in hawaii i can even compare this too. only in japan.

Matchi isn’t just my friend, Matchi shapes my boards. super smart, good shaper, and most important, a great person.

and when your shaper can surf this good, you know you’re going to get a magic board. good ripping Matchi!

Matchi took me into some deep areas on this huge island. places i haven’t been before and places that tourists seldom or never visit. this is deepest japan.
