[406] Eight is enough? (August 20th)

Date: August 22nd, 2008 | Comments : none | Categories: Shizuoka.

Recently the winds have been strong, so we decided to meet a little bit earlier than usual.  When I stepped out of the apartment, I glanced to see if I could see Mt. Fuji.  Surprisingly, I could see it.

For some reason, I think it is good luck to be able to see Mt. Fuji before going to the beach…

A lot of people seem to have Wednesdays off, so I wasn’t surprised to see around 20 cars in the parking lot before 6:00 am.  Here’s what the waves looked like:

A beautiful day for surfing and / or fishing.  Look again at the top picture - quite a few fishing boats out there!

We took a break around 8:30 and I snapped this shot of Mr. T, a friendly local, in action:

In case you are wondering, it’s not this Mr. T:

It would be interesting to see this Mr. T surf.  I pity the fool that snakes Mr. T’s wave!

Anyways, I had a productive session today.  Caught a fair number of waves and practiced my takeoffs.
