Freshly taken! Noah Beschen and Kei Kobayashi practice surfing photos at Shidashita
Freshly taken! Noah Beschen, 17 years old "Kei Kobayashi" 19 years old Check out the photos of the two of them practicing surfing at Shidashita yesterday. Both are teenagers on the LOST team who are aiming to qualify for the WT. The waves were small and onshore, but the two of us practiced together, competing for the waves. Check out the practice surfing. Kei Kobayashi stood out with her surfing, taking advantage of her small frame and using the ups and downs of the waves better than anyone else. She also showed great tactical skill in managing her game in this QS6000 contest, making her one of the favorites to win! She arrived in Japan earlier than the other competitors and has been practicing surfing these small waves every day. Keep an eye on her! Noah Beschen stayed at the Nishii family home last night before traveling to Chiba. It was his first time surfing that day, but he practiced for five hours and had the best ride of the day, including the other competitors, on his last ride. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bi6v8IgH2z8/?hl=ja&taken-by=lostsurfboardsjapan The air reverse has been uploaded to LOST Japan's Instagram, so please take a look!

He's a major player in the USA and CA. Anon Matsuoka, a first year junior high school student, was able to enter the Women's competition! Last year it was QS3000, but this year it was downgraded to QS1000, so there were fewer foreign players entering, I'll do my best as the youngest entrant! Please support me!
