waves are 4-6′ going off, surfed 7 hours, went diving and picked shells.
surfed out. falling stars every where. i love it here. many photos coming soon.
going diving again so got to go. see you.

i’ve known shimpei horiguchi since he was a kid. this photo was taken 12 years ago at kaifu. back then, he was like 14 years old or so. mellow super country style kid that had a dream. a dream to become a pro surfer. not only now is shimpei a pro surfer, he’s one of the most respected big wave chargers in the world. dreams come true, just ask shimpei. hey, that’s shimpei on the right ok? who’s that young guy on the left? haha…

this is the other week in okinawa. 12 years later and still surfing together. surfing keeps people connected and this is a perfect example….

this was shimpei last year on an okinawan outer island reef break 2 page spread in surf1st. big wave charger? i think so….

and this months cover boy for surf1st. i’d have to say that shimpei’s the best most all around surfer in japan. he can surf small waves, big waves, gigantic waves, and he’s got the looks that can make a girl melt…. now, shimpei had joined the go-naminori offical blog crew…. a lot of girls been asking me about shimpei and now you can find out. welcome to shimpei’s life….
