The Japan Trials were held over two days, Saturday and Sunday.
The board that Nate Illemans has is made of EPS foam with carbon in the center.
The waves are so small that it's a bit sad for the surfers, but the skilled surfers are still good regardless of the small waves.
Nate is now 35 years old. As a former WCT surfer, he only practiced on waves with a strong line and high points.

We came to surf together early in the morning,
Right: Davie Castle, Australia
Left: Koa Smith, Hawaii
Core Smith is
"CARBON WRAP" and Davy Castle is POLYESTER.
The second round was also a friendly one.

Both of them appeared with
"CARBON WRAP" this time. If the waves are small or there is no power,
It is better to ride a board with better speed performance, so
``CARBON WRAP'' is a must.

This model is
the "Carbon Wrap" from "V2-Grinder".
"Davey Castle" is as expected from last year's WCT player.
The small waves were also good.

This is Mason Ho.
He was riding a MARKO EPS foam board.

The waves were very different from the big, dangerous waves that Mason loves, but he practiced hard.

She is also a women's rider who was on the as yet unidentified LOST
"CARBON WRAP."
It looks like the waves will remain small tomorrow as well.
I'll report back as the main event begins.
