bushpig 0 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Got in a bit of a surf up in Shimane on the SEA OF JAPAN yesterday. Was rough and like a washing machine, but had a bit of punch to it which was nice. Solid slabs of water Not huge, but certainly enough to have fun in. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 Good for you Bushy My sinuses are knackerd so no surf me for a while. I've just been checking out this whole SEA OF JAPAN thing. I can see where you live. Do you ever go over to the Pacific side. Shinkoku? Kyushu? How do you get there? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I head to Shikoku occasionally. Went there with CB in July. It is about an 7 hour drive from here though, so it has to be a camping trip or it isn't on. Kyushu is just as far to get to the surf, so haven't done it. It is a lonely place to be here for a surfer. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 although I don't surf, there were a lot of good waves down my way on Sunday. Check out the pics of Fuji-san I posted in the snow thread Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 surfed some of the most terrible waves i've had in ages this afternoon (light onshore, barely breaking, but i was on a wombat - beau youngs 6'4" mal shaped short board, so kinda fun). called in sick last wednesday and made the call to drive up the coast on a tiny tiny swell. got there and it was head+, which left us all stunned. hit an outer reef and got smoking smoking waves. big juicy walling rights, couple of heavy sneaker sets hitting the boils and cleaning us up, but just a great surf with a few blokes out. i put on soooo much sunscreen so i wouldn't show up to work the next day sunburnt had a quick bash at a nearby beachie afterwards - fun zippy peaks, and we were feeling pretty chuffed with ourselves. smashed some beers on the trip home (the driver took it easy) and then a farken fantastic pie at our favourite bakery to end a great day. what an epic sick day was absolutely exhausted the next day at work from all the sun and my eyes were bloodshot as anything - my boss asked me if i felt OK and if i was feeling well enough to be at work brilliant thanks for reviving this thread mantas! it's my bucks this weekend - we're keeping it small, 6-8 of us going down south. any excuse to go on a boys trip (they're rarer and rarer these days, and i get the feeling they're gonna happen less and less in the future) and hunt some waves. i'm looking forward to it Link to post Share on other sites
kokodoko 67 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I saw those pics, tubby. Where is that beach? They looked like good waves. Must have been after a typhoon. Does it get that big very often? Spook. I spent a couple of seasons in west oz at the bluff and down the south-west. i love that place. 3 Bears before the doctor blew in was my favourite consistent spot, (during summer) Link to post Share on other sites
