This is a weather vane in the shape of our seagull. When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I see is him. His energetic flapping wings tell me the wind direction by looking at his movements. I live in Tokyo, and this lets me know the wind direction and strength in real time. In addition to wave information and online forecasts, I can also judge the current conditions. It came from Tokyu Hands in Shibuya. It's pre-assembled and painted to look realistic. Would you like to try keeping one? It doesn't need any food, so it's easy to care for. Should I give it a name? Oh, I'm looking for suggestions! Someone please give it a good name!
Learn moreI took the photos in Katsuura, Chiba.
This is Behara and Matsube. Today was all about four-fins. In Hebara, Quad Shark, In Matsube, I rode the RNF-Quad. I went to Katsuura with my exclusive photographer, Toku. The waves at Hehara were chest high, and as usual, only the takeoff was dug, the middle was thick, and the waves dug up on the inside. At Matsube, there were fun waves about waist-chest high. It was empty, so we could ride as much as we wanted. We will be shooting more footage, editing it and then releasing it in the riding movie corner, so please look forward to it!
Learn moreA new record! My gift board featured in SURF1st magazine.
The other day, my Presebo gift board was featured in Surf 1st magazine. According to a report from our company's representative at SURF1st magazine, Mr. Ishimaru, the giveaway has set a new record for the number of entries. Until now, Keith Malloy's board had the most entries, with about 300, but this time, the number of entries exceeded that number by more than double, at about 600. The popularity and attention of placebos are reflected in the numbers. To all those who applied across the country, I'm sure you're all excited as it's almost time for the winners to be announced. If you happen to be reading this blog, please let us know! We also look forward to your participation in User Voice! Hmm? I should have applied too...
Learn moreCustom paint recommended.
The weather was nice today, so I also custom painted the fins used on the Precebo. It's see-through if you look closely. A simple paint job on the fins will add a custom touch. It's easy, so I recommend it. I hope you all will give it a try. The photo shows the board attached to the 5'10" CL-pro Presto board, which is my main board. This is a Vector VF437 honeycomb core fin. It's a perfect match for the lightweight Precebo.
