1st thing I thought when the video started was, "Black sand?" You guys are at the beach rather than work, oy! Tanaka is hilarious...hahahaha. And he is pretty good with the boogie board, and you the kayak!
no. he said that -- Hanamizu. western part of Hiratsuka city, where Hanamizugawa (花水川) enters the ocean. If you go there, be careful -- it is not Kugenuma, it gets deep quickly when you enter the water and waves are very different from Kugenuma -- stronger, the water is less predictable.

Like all japanese surfers, they surfing like crap!!!!! i live in japan for the past eight years and i haven't seen a goog wave, ahh i live in the shonan area by the way. AHH and i started to surf in Peru you know, Mancora, Cerro Azul (the one of the Beach Boys song) so i know what i talking about.
Hey! So, how was Minami-Izu this last weekend? Monday was pretty sloppy, chest/shoulder sized waves, but sloppy and on-shore...however, it was a BEAUTIFUL day, few people and lots of fun (and sun). Wish you could have been there. Maybe we can synchronize a day off for some Minami-Izu/Ericsurf6 vids!
Dang! Looks like we're going to miss each other this time. Hope the weather clears up for you tomorrow...and the winds switch to off-shore by the time you get there! Let's definitely try to hook up for a surf session one of these days! I usually find that weekdays are more fun because they are the least crowded. If you can ever get one of those days off...let me know.
Actually, yes...I live in Yamanakako where my wife and I run a Pension. We've got customers this weekend, but plan to go to Minami-Izu early Monday morning. We should definitely hook up for some surfing at some point!
This was hilarious! Thanks Eric (and Ken). Wish I would have met you in the water when I was surfing in Kugenuma...it's always good to meet people with a smile and sense of humor in the water (something I found very rare in that area). Do you ever surf in the Izu area?
Aloha Maneneko! I lived in Waikiki for 5 years and taught surfing. Yes, boogie boarding is easier than surfing cause you don't need to stand up and balance, rather just ride the wave.
But a good teacher is the best! Did you take a lesson, or just rent a board? It's expensive, but I recommend you take a lesson there in Waikiki or do an outrigger canoe ride on the waves (only about 15 dollars).
I took 1 lesson in Waikiki, but I'm a horrible paddler, I quickly discovered! I'll try some lessons out here before I give up, though. Or take up boogie board instead.
You silly, don't you live by the ocean? You can learn to surf at El Porto. I can't surf either, but I will take you boogie boarding if you want. I go 2 or 3 times a week, neko. I have many boogie boards.
Kitty, I'm not really sure what a Maid Cafe is, but I can tell you that it is a popular part of Japanese Sub-Culture which Ken Tanaka seems very knowledgeable about.
Ken Tanaka is a nice man. I was very happy to meet him.
It's Yen 26,000, Equivalent to about US $250. We do Bed and Breakfast style accomodation, and offer surfing, bodyboarding, kayaking, as well as tours around my area here as seen in my videos.
Bookings are quickly filling up for the summer months, so please let me know when you are interested in coming out for a visit.
I could extend you a further discount of Yen 0. -or- US $0, as gratuity for your featured video that got me about 75 new subscribers. Why am I typing this in comments?
