Drive thru Northern Japan

After a solid stint of shaping in Shizouka, we hit the road in the Bros Camper for a one week promo road trip to the northern Japan focusing on core surf shops in Fukushima, Ibaraki and Chiba. Waves were nothing to rave about but we had some fun waist to shoulder sessions in the less crowded country stretches and many freindly faces along the way.

Peace Tomo.

Surfin' Life Japan

Japan Surfing life July 09' Focuses on the new shortboard movement with a push for much shorter performance surfboards than regular thrusters. This magazine is one of the first to acknowledge the liklyhood of a future revoloution in modern performance surfboards and im stoked to be noted as being at the forefront of the high-end design push. Pictured here with my good mate and Tomo surfboards customer Dave Rastovich at home break Lennox point.

Otsukare desu Nipon !!

Japan Summer 09" Warm weather, small waves and cold Asahi. Tomo Promo Tour rounds the corner of East Asia, gaining momentum along the way. Plenty of revitalising moments to be had even when there is no surf. Tomo 10/06/09

FISH FRY JAPAN 09'

Shizunami beach, Shizouka Japan 06.06.09

Great turn out for the event this year and we were fortunate enough to score a unpredicted waist high beach break to test some boards. Heaps of interesting wave riding vehicles on show and the odd surfing ledgend like Richard Kenvin and Toby Pavel crusing around with 1/2" ply wood planks that are now all the rage in resistance free sliding. Peace Tomo.
