there is no other place in the world you will find so many demo boards. all brand new shaped and glassed in the finest quality. i look forward to coming to shikoku this time of year because i can check things out and see the new designs for the upcoming year. super cool set of boards produced by TSSC.
500 yen or $4.50 for this breakfast on the beach. gosh, i wish we had these in hawaii!
back to surfboards. if you want a magic board, you have to work for it. work meaning surfer/shaper relationship. i think this separates the elite shapers from the good shapers. if you know exactly how your rider surfs, it’s that much easier to make a magic board.
here is Matchi explaining the concept behind Shun Murakami’s magic board. once again, this is the key to getting yourself a magic board. if you have questions, your shaper would love to answer them.
want to thank Scarfini Japan for my new set of fins. can’t wait to try it in a big indonesian barrel!
want to thank the boys for giving me a ride to osaka. always enjoying the ride. hope you guys made it safely back to shikoku.
stopped at Awaji to eat lunch. such a beautiful place!
i’ve been coming to japan for so long that we use to have to catch a ferry to get to shikoku. now the worlds longest bridge connects the city to the country. amazing technology.
my little apartment in osaka. perfect for an overnight sleep.
better set my alarm because have to wake up early. still have no idea how i’m going to get my surfboard in a taxi and on the busy rush hour crowded train in the morning. if there’s a will, there’s a way! indo tomorrow! yeah!
