i just got some news out of america. seawater around the fukushima nuclear plant has 3,335 times the normal level or radiation. that’s crazy! i remember going to a surfers movement 4 years ago that were protesting the proposed the building of another nuclear plant. at that time, i didn’t think it was that bad, but now when i look back, i should have put more energy into that movement. i just think the whole world is uninformed on these nuclear plants and now we all know that the plants are not prepared for an earthquake or tsunami. it’s been 19 days and it’s still not under control. and other news out of america is that they tested the air 40 km away from the plant and they said it had high levels of radiation, but the japanese government is only evacuating 20 km? who do you believe???


even though things are uncertain, hard core local surfers in niijima are moving on. they need the ocean to revive, to refresh, and to move on…. my longtime friend hiroaki at secret. photo by yasuma. hey guys, i’ll try my best to make it to your beautiful island this year. i support you guys all the way!!!
