The Kobayashi Brothers have entered the JPSA opening round! Starting on April 10th!!

All photos by Mike Van Mierlo The trial heats begin today, April 10th, at the JPSA opening round to be held in Keramas, Bali. Kei Kobayashi, who competed in the JPSA for the first time in 2016, won the trials and took the championship, is also entered this year. "Kei Kobayashi" is the defending champion, I flew from California to Bali about a week ago to make arrangements. This time, Kei's older brother, Sho Kobayashi, was also accompanying him, making it his first time competing in JPSA! This will be Sho's first time competing, so just like Kei last year, he will start from the trial heat. Round 1 is Heat 5. According to JPSA rules, it would still be AM... The forecast is that the size of the waves will continue to increase, I'm looking forward to seeing the results as Sho and Kei really show their true worth the bigger the waves get. Since the contest is at Kuramasu, it will be even more exciting to watch as the competition will be on barrel waves! NECK TANS team photographer Mike is also accompanying us from CALIFORNIA!
