Onshore

THe waves have been like this the whole week at shonan. SUper onshore and waist high at the biggest.

Here is the legendary Homozou! Hahaaha. THere are rumours that the statue comes alive at night! LOL.

CHeck how fat Kaito was couple years ago!

THis is my new bike with a board rack!!! Now I can go surf anywhere near shonan!

Videos

Here is some videos of the last contest at Omaezaki. Thanks Takeshi for the videos!



My double interference...

Final at Chikura

Here's a short video of the final at Chikura. This was the first contest of the JPSA series. THe waves were about 2 feet and super offshore!!! Couldn't do anything cause the waves were super fast and offshore. check it out.

Small waves

Today the waves were small again so I helped out at the Surf shop that i stay at. In the afternoon I was Skyping with Takako and Kaito.


Here`s Kaito with one of his Donkey kong Faces. Dosen`t he look exactly like Donkey Kong?!

The only thing good about Japan is the Food! Here is another day of eating Good Sushi. You can`t go wrong when each plate is only $1!

Good Food but no waves...

This is one of my favorite things to eat at Sukiya. Gyu don with curry rice and miso soup! The best part is that the food comes really fast (way faster than rainbows) and its cheap and good!

Here`s one of the Kaiten sushi we went to during the shizunami trip. Here`s Jason Suzuki grinding! Look how much he ate! Hahahha! Nah I helped him eat some of those.
Check out my japanese blog for more pics.

Bored

I got a cut on my foot during the contest so the last couple days I've been out of the water since the water is very dirty in Shonan. Today it is raining a little and a little chilly.



Here are some of the things I did when I was bored. The picture on the top is Kaito and thats me on the bottom. Hahahah!

2nd

I ended up gettin 2nd at the shizunami contest. The waves were real inconsistent and it was kind of like a contest at Queens. There was some nice small A-frame peaks but there would be only 1 or 2 that comes in every heat. So basically it was whoever catches the waves win. If you just look at the heat sheet you can tell how little waves there were since 4th place had 0 points. There were 3 interference calls in the final with me getting one of them and the other guy getting 2 of them. The one that I got was actually a double intereference. I have no idea why I got the call too but I guess that`s just how it goes... Im pretty bummed but there was nothing I could do. I only needed a 7 to win but that interference call made it impossible to win. With over 10 minutes left in the final and nothing you can do to win is pretty shitty feeling... Hopefully theres more waves at the next contest! Just want to say thanks to everybody that supported me especially Yasu and Mitsu for coming with me to the contest and putting up with my Sushi cravings! haha.
