Go-kun is once again busy with autograph promotions!
Go-kun is once again busy with autograph promotions! We visited the Chigasaki store and took a commemorative photo with the staff. To Murasaki Sports Fujisawa store, A commemorative photo with Oba-san. Oba-san won the Fujisawa branch All Japan qualifying round on a surf skate. He's a master surf skater. No graffiti allowed! As a sunglasses designer, I am grateful to him as a sponsor. We also stopped by the FAB office, which Gorkin loves. A commemorative photo with the staff. Gokin received a trucker hat and sunglasses designed by Nishii. We also stopped by Colors, a core shop in Kawasaki, for promotion. I signed on the wall next to the monitor. This is Marippe, a staff member. Everyone who came gathered together for a commemorative photo.

Go-kun seems to like it, and today he is wearing Nishii-designed sunglasses and a hat. Why a board case? The FCS product has a sticker from our sponsor, Creator. Then, I put two boards into a hard case designed for one board without any packing. The 5'10" CA-PRO that I used during this Japan trip will be used in Florida in two weeks. I took it home for the WQS2 Star competition. The 5'8" AC-QUAD I used was replaced with a new one from Love Surf's stock and taken home. I brought home two in total. I left behind the remaining two Precebo and one WCT model parabolic stringer board. I'm on the phone with my fiance, who I'm getting married to in November. I stopped by Love Surf and signed autographs for customers. Dress up with a FAB t-shirt, sunglasses, and a cap. I flew back to Florida today.

Filming and surfing at Terasawa Producer's shore break. We also stopped by Murasaki Sports Hamamatsu store. The PLACEBO display, created by Amano, stands out prominently in front of the store. It's a masterpiece, so if you're in the area, please go and see it. Is there anyone in a hurry to buy a 5'8" AC-QUAD? We have one signed by Gokin at our Hamamatsu store! Please contact us immediately! For lunch, we tried Gokin's first eel nigiri sushi. We also stopped by WATERS in Shizuoka. A commemorative photo with Yamamoto-san and a customer. There's also a signature on WATERS' wall. We also stopped by the Murasaki Sports Atsugi store. A commemorative photo with Noguchi-san. Presebo is so popular that you still need to make a reservation to purchase it. Anyone looking for a 5'11" Pseudofish? We have one signed by Gokin at our Atsugi store! After arriving in Tokyo, the Nishii family and three middle school surfer students who live nearby came to get my autograph.

August 4th is the eve of the Wave Festa G-slash Cup, which will be held on August 5th. Gokin and Arch appeared and the crowd went wild! Gorkin is giving his dog beer. Archie is busy with beer, cigarettes and autographs. Hiroki (left) and Daisuke (center) from Luvsurf rushed to the event. Casey (right) is here. After everyone played pranks on the embarrassed manager, he ended up looking like this... The party was like a scene from a video.

The Wave Festa G?SLASH contest was held today at Hamamatsu Goto P! This is a report. The Love Surf & Colors team also participated. An arch-style chop-top car also appears! The Colors team was surfing in the river mouth. There will also be a pre-sale team booth, including Gokin! During the demonstration, Gokin rode a 5'10 AC-PRO and captivated the audience, showing what he could do even in small onshore waves like these.

The size of the Irago WQS has gone down, but there is still some size left. Although he was unable to win the Junior Pro Final, Jordy Smith was riding an XTR5.C from AL. These are the Junior Pro finalists. The runner I was rooting for, Casey Brown, 20, came in fourth place. Gorkin surfed alongside the contest at RNF-Q. Presebo team, Asher and Gorkin. I also recorded this video clip. I like playing Gokin's FAB Nishii signature model, the MARIA 24.

Today at Irago, waves of historic quality appeared. Kenyu, a popular photographer who was taking pictures next to me on the left, was also smiling. The players were thrilled. Of course, Share was also very excited! Before the heat, he got a long barrel on the right side of the contest. Hideyoshi, a big fan of Chris Ward, was watching the game to my right and verbally ordered a Psycho Ward 5'11" Mayhem board. Even at this size, Mason easily won the heat with a 4fin shark. Roy Powers also seems to be doing well with his Mayhem board. Here, on the Mayhem Board, David Wyer also came in first in the same four-man heat as Scheer, with Scheer coming in second for a one-two finish. The market share is second, making it a one-two. And Gogin stood out with his free surfing next to the contest!! We did a lot of barrel riding like this one in Indonesia. The waves look good tomorrow too!

Today, Mr. A came from Florida to buy a Presebo. He also bought a signature model deck pad with his name on it. He was very happy because it was exactly the same as the board he usually rides. (laughs) Sorry, this is a photo from last night. Gokin picked up his board at Love Surf on his way to Irago. I'm impressed that molds have the advantage of allowing you to buy the same board in another country without having to bring it with you. This 5'10" AC-PRO is Gokin's magic board. Is this a new way to surf trips? This is the WQS contest being held today at Irago. The waves are flat and shallow. The professional junior heats for those up to 20 years old have progressed to the semi-finals and are now over for the day. This morning at Gokin. Setting up the board before the contest. Kyle Garson is here with a Taj-shaped Mayhem board! This was the first time I saw him surf live and he's really good. Asher Nolan appeared on Mayhem's Parabolic and was talking about boards with Gorkin. Gorkin tried out the AUROLA 4.5 Micro Fiber Flex Fin and loved it! He said he'll use it in the contest tomorrow!! Stay tuned for the results!
