my absolute favorite surf spot in Japan has to be here. \u00a0it’s here where i’ve gotten the best barrels in my life. \u00a0it’s here where i met the coolest local surfers. \u00a0and it’s here where i got my first Surfing Life Magazine Cover Shot. \u00a0i wasn’t welcomed in the beginning by the locals, but throughout the years, they accepted me. \u00a0i always showed them the upmost respect and i always thanked them for sharing their waves. \u00a0in my opinion, this is the heaviest localized spot in Japan and if you know the right people, you will be welcomed with aloha. \u00a0but if you don’t know the right people, you will be sent in and sent home. \u00a0and if you ever heard the story about Kelly Slater being sent in and told to never come back here, this is the spot. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

it was in 1992 when i first got my barrel there so that makes 30 years of surfing, barrels, friends, laughs, and memories. \u00a0i’ll never ever forget the locals that gave me these kind of waves for the rest of my life. \u00a0thank you boys for everything. \u00a0and you know who you are. \u00a0and yes, i still promise i will never tell anyone where this spot is until i die. \u00a0i never did, and i never will…\"\"<\/p>\n

and i want to thank Kenji Sahara for capturing so many classic moments of my life. \u00a0i’m so grateful for all the wonderful memories. \u00a0and i can’t wait to go back there and share some waves, beers, and bbq’s with the boys. \u00a0“locals rule!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
