Today we will be focusing on test riding the AC-QUAD 5'8".
Today, we left the hotel at 4am and went to Medewi. When I arrived at Medewi, it looked like I wouldn't be able to surf because it was a contest day. The contest will start at 8am when the tide is rising. I decided to stay and take photos for an hour before the heat started. The waves have a boulder bottom and are good for long left-hand rides. The tide was out so much that the waves were thick and not steep. The Presebo test ride is progressing smoothly, We have also attached AUROLA FINs to each model and conducted various tests. Nishii's test ride today focused on the AC-QUAD 5'8". Hiroki has a sea urchin stuck in his right thumb and can't remove the thorn. We received information that the halfway sandbar had been decided, In the afternoon, we took photos at Halfway. Tomorrow is the last day.

Jodie is 6'3"SB, Dorian is a 5'10" AC-PRO Hiroki is a 5'11" PUSED FISH Nishii is a 5'10" CL-PRO DEKO took a commemorative photo with his good friend, former WCT player Noodle. The cafe in Canggu has wireless LAN, It's a great environment where everyone can work on their computers after surfing. You can eat, take a break, check the waves and email at the same time. It would be great if there were shops like this on the beach in Japan too. In the afternoon I went surfing for the first time in Legian. I once read in a surf magazine that it would be better not to come to Bali than to come to Bali to surf on the beach. I had read some articles about it so I wasn't expecting much, but the waves were really good. In Legian, We were also there to surf at UBER FISH, and we had Bali expert Kazuya Pro there too. The locals are all excited that the waves will be higher tomorrow!!

Learn moreMorning surf at Upper Trestle
Today I went surfing first thing in the morning at Upper Trestle in San Clemente. We walked with the surf buyers from Murasaki Sports to the point. The two representatives from Cyber Wetsuit joined us, For some reason, even though it was Saturday, there were very few people surfing, only about 10 people. Everyone can ride as many good waves as they want. The reason why there were so few people there was because heavy rain was forecast this morning and the water temperature had dropped drastically and was very cold. Such a vacant upper wave, It was a fun wave like this. The board I rode was a PLACEBO CL-PRO 5'10". It's been a while since I last rode a Flexlite, The unique bending and stretching of the turn felt great! PLACEBO is of course in great condition even in authentic trestles! There's a storm coming tonight, so what will the waves be like tomorrow?
