After an unsuccessful outing on Monday, I was hoping for a better day today. Little did I know that today I would experience something new.

Three Strikes… (September 8th)
Today was NOT a good day for surfing. It was so bad that I didn’t even bother to take any pictures. REALLY. First, we checked out Yoshida. FLAT. Second, we stopped at Shizunami. FLAT. Finally, we visited Kashima. There were a few surfers trying to catch some small waves, but not tempting enough for us […]
TGIF (September 5th)
I’m still on vacation so the title for this posting isn’t the most appropriate, but it was the best thing that I could think of. Like usual, the waves have been small – would I be pleasantly surprised today??
Donnerstag (September 4th)
“This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays”
Big Wednesday (September 3rd)
Today reminded me of the 1978 Jan-Michael Vincent film, Big Wednesday. A movie that is sitting in the van waiting to be watched during some heavy traffic jam. What a coincidence today was also a Wednesday!
Back to the beach! (September 2nd)
With it being almost 2 weeks since my last surf session, I was happy to be able to get back to the beach. I actually wanted to go yesterday but I was too jet lagged to go. I actually slept about 16 hours straight! Many of you probably remember that the official surfing season in […]
The last summer session (August 22nd)
The above picture was taken just before 6 am this morning. I was surprised that I was able to take this picture without any surfers.
(August 21st)
Like I mentioned in a previous post, days that I can see Mt. Fuji before going to beach seem to be good surfing days. It’s a little blurry but here’s a picture of Mt. Fuji at 4:45 am today: The big question is – Would the waves be as nice as yesterday’s?
Eight is enough? (August 20th)
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 […]
Lucky number seven – (August 19th)
Today was my seventh time to surf at Yoshida – not bad considering that I was quite busy with work during the first part of the official beach season. (FYI, the official season is from the last weekend of June until the last weekend of August). Typhoon 11 has completely passed by Shizuoka now, so […]
