surfing in japan??

Postby quicksilverchick » Tue Sep 28, 2004 2:04 am

so, im definitley moving to tokyo, japan and if ANYONE had ANY information about surfing in or around tokyo i will REALLY appreciate it. Every japanese site that has anything to do with surfing is in conji (that weird looking symbol stuff they use). So please, if anyone knows anything, im desperate.

idk if you get surfer magazine, but there was a free DVD inside. Magatashi Ohno is featured in the video as well as the magazine. He is from Japan and he rips. Case Closed.

quicksilver - sent you a Private Message with the info!
the rest of you - you`ld be amazed at the amount of surf in Japan. theres breaks everywhere, and it s an extremely popular sport. and J-Bay isnt in Japan, its in South Africa!
