Surfing 8th Round in Japan I went surfing with Tsuchi and Mr. S at Hamada, Hashi. The wave size was chest to shoulder and the condition was good enough to enjoy surfing. After 3 hours surfing, I felt I spent all of my energy. TsuchiとSくんと浜田の波子でサーフィン。波は胸から肩ほどのサイズで、十分楽しめるコンディション。時間のサーフィンで、体力を使い切った。 (iPhone4) We ate a ramen in Kanbikiyama parking area on the way to return. It was great taste for my empty body. 帰りの寒曳山パーキングエリアでラーメンランチ。ぺこぺこのお腹に、とても美味しかった。

A Party with Old Colleagues I went to the drinking party with old colleagues (Matt, Take and Kazu) in the okomoniyaki place after work. I had a great time with them and I really appriciated that I have good companions who have same experiences/memories for California life. 仕事帰りに、昔の上司＆同僚3人とお好み焼き屋さんで飲み会。とても楽しくて、カリフォルニア生活という同じ経験と思い出を持つ仲間がいることを本当にありがたく思った。

Surfing 7th Round in Japan I had a vacation and went surfing at Hamada from afternoon. When I arrived to Senjo beach, I was shocked because the wave was quite junk condition with strong wind. Then I checked Hashi and Asari to find a better point, but there was no surfer at all.

有休を利用して、午後から浜田でサーフィン。千畳に着くと、強風のジャンクコンディションが目の前に。少しでもマシな場所を求めて、波子と浅利をチェック。でも、どこにもサーファーの姿は見えず。。。

(Pentax K100D + Sigma 70-300mm APO DG Macro) Finally, I found some surfers at Senjo after almost 2 hour checking. I decided to surf in spite of the severe condition. There was strong current at the faraway place from jetty since I avoided the point of the local surfers. It was very hard to go outside with my BD3 (thick surfboard). I could ride only one wave on the day. It was the most expensive surfing for me.

2時間ほど波チェックした後に戻った千畳で、数名のサーファーを見つけた。ここしかないと思いサーフィン決行するも、流れが強く、分厚い板ではアウトに出れない。結局、乗れたのは1本だけ。時間もガス代も高速代もめちゃめちゃ高くついたサーフィンになった。

Rest Day 2 There was no wave at all according to the some forecasts. I gave up going surfing and decided to stay home for my physical and mental healing. 波は全く無いらしいので、サーフィンはあきらめ、心と体を癒すため、家に居ることにした。 (Pentax K100D + Sigma 70-300mm APO DG Macro) I want to get a real macro lenz...
