The owner, Mr. Nakayama, has a career that includes winning the Muroran Mayor's Cup in Hokkaido in the 1980s.

I also explained the popular four-fin board.

Osamu Kasuya of SK Surfboards also gave us a brief explanation of his brand of surfboards.

Afterwards, I had the chance to have a long chat with Shuji, a professional surfer I've admired since I was in high school. It was Shuji who introduced me to my first wetsuit sponsor (LANTY) when I was in high school.
We reminisced about how a girl used to give me a quilted board case as a gift, and he also gave me some advice about being careful of the many liars and strange people in the surf industry. Thank you very much.
He's still cool even though he's gotten older.
