Surfing Lessons
I think surfing may be depicting how we live…
When life seems to be little harsh on you and that you are feeling low and sad – dive into ocean and you often will feel just how powerful the nature is and just how tiny the power human nature have over it
Of course there are a lot more positive thoughts and reasons to be in the ocean. Whether be it because you know you’ll have fun, feels good, or you may just love the ocean. Enjoy this with friends and you will enhance your joy
Great with good waves, but even if not, you will feel refreshed after the dip.
The lessons here will first focus on having fun surfing, followed by lessons to enable surfing on your own. But not to worry – all be customized to meet your needs.

Kayo Yoshida
Professional Rider / Guide Instructor
She was a life saver on Niijima Island (off Tokyo) when at school. She has experience in being the finalist for All Japan Competition for Lifesaving Paddling.
Met surfing 3 years ago. Feel of riding on the waves and how each wave has different expression which makes smile – are what is so attractive about the waves.
She is after smiling, ladylike riding.
Hulk Kondo
THE local surfer from Kugenuma. Started surfing when young, influenced by father, who is a famous local surfer.
Didn’t last long though as he wasn’t having fun. Things changed in high school years when he couldn’t join soccer team that was so popular then.
He turned to the sea with the energy unused – and met short board which he is in love with till today.
He is looking to be #1 at the most populated Kugenuma point.
