I went board surfing in Tokyo Bay for the first time in a while.
A commemorative photo of the six participants in the "Tokyo Bay Board Surfing" event.
A shot before departure, getting excited!
Place your surfboard on the board rack next to the boat.
The boat leaves Tokyo Bay Marina and passes under the Bayshore Expressway, which we always pass when going north to Chiba.
This is Keiichi's second time here, and he's using the Placebo 6'0" SCORCHER model that he just recently acquired.
This is Bane-san, who is also here for the second time. He caught a series of lips, something I've never seen before in the ocean.

Here is Miyauchi about to take off on his TABLET 5'10".

You can take videos and photos from various angles and check your riding form later. It's great for strength training for surfing.
