Its that time of year and my knee is healing nicely. Any tokyo area people looking to go water ramping (when the weather warms a bit)? I went quite a bit on my own last year but it would be fun in a group. I need to get some ramp time in before I go to Momentum freeride camps in mid july...

You can rent everything but it is nice if you have some of your own gear. You need a wetsuit, even if it is warm as it protects against bad splashdowns. You need a helmet as well. Ski helmets are a bit warm so many use skateboad helmets but it is best to put tape around the earflaps to protect against water slapping your ear on a side landing. A life jacket is also a must. In Japan, they almost allwear board shorts or even ski pants over the wetsuit to not look so soy. You also need gloves. Old spring gloves or even just auto work gloves are fine.

 

Then you need ski equipment. I use old stuff as water ramping wears it out and makes the boots stink if not dried well. Again, all of this can be rented.
