It’s an Underrated part of the country, Zen…so many people miss so much good snow, which is good for us.
Have you been to Hakkoda? I’ve just booked Aomori accommodation FEB 2025. It’s my dream destination to board…Nearly a year to dream.
My wife and I climbed Hakkoda in the summertime- we could look down onto the ropeway station. It's on my 'must do' list. I love Tohoku! So many places untapped if you got wheels.
Recently I sent a mate who was up in Niseko a pic of a completely empty lift line, he sent me one back with a 200m line waiting to get on the Hirafu gondola. I know which I'd prefer.

Zen, good to hear you got a powder day. They've been few and far between this year.
No swell for us down here - we only pick up south swell.
Today I paddled out with two others and we had a combined age of 210 , very inspirational watching and hooting as these two old boys had a crack . The oldest 76 , broke his ankle and snapped his achilles tendon at same spot 6 months earlier . Fucking legend . 
^ this is epic
Go supa ;)

Supafreak.
So good mate.
Our bodies weaken (slightly for surfers), we look aged, but our minds still froth like grommets.
Glad you’re having a ball. AW

Fucken hell supa ya killin’ me man
Nice work. Lucky man.
Great Stuff. Old mate, 76 years young, is a legend.
76! - inspirational for this 60yo.
A few photos from Sunday. 5 weekends in a row we've had very good swell and conditions, but Sunday arvo was so clean and beautiful.
Despite never surfing the Ledge on good, busy days, and being an old blowin, even I managed to snag a barrel there - before getting ruthlessly faded :-) Never mind.

@Island Bay , awesome shot , am I right in assuming that you’re Kierin ? Looks like it was an epic day . This first photo is 76 yo JC , I mentioned he had broken his ankle and snapped achillies tendon 6 months earlier at the same spot and this was his first surf back from injury . In the second photo he’s doing some leg/ foot exercises in the sand as he lost a lot of muscle definition , that’s his son on the wave who at 42 was youngest in camp .

Wow so nice, beautiful place/area, spent a few days there in July 2018 just travelling around with the family, didn't have boards was only about 1Ft anyway.
A photo I took I have blown up on my office wall.
Would be a easy place to live.
Heck no, Supa, I'm just an old kook. Would love to have snagged that wave, though :-)
Go JC!

Nah mate I’ve seen some of your photos , definitely no kook and you have a heap of stanima for some of those long paddle outs you do . This 2 weeks out of water is killing me and huge forecast starting on 27th 28th , stitches come out 30th and arm feels good . Keep getting shacked IB .
Heal well, brother!
doing the final streak tomorrow @AW. astonishing the options they have there for dumb days like this Saturday which will be such an interesting day for us south-west facers. In my local hood, that town Indo liked a few years ago, is certainly the solid option. But I don't mind saying here, as I'm sure the local crew would nod that it's so conditions dependent and missiony, no one would bother. part of me wishes I could tuck in on the ferry, head west on the big island and hike with a boog and a rod from snake lagoon to PRiver for a week. farking epic time of year, nature-wise.
Terrifying bush.
everything but the 'bringing back the big bush'; bitta Eric and Billy fun, tho, 'fruitcup' : )-

Haha thought I was going to see some bush, but Green!
Ha
I digress, it’s been mentioned here before, but the Mighty Boosh is fantastic if you’ve never watched the series.
The early years (same episode)
Still makes me laugh
Big fan too. Hard to see that getting made anywhere other than the UK. So left field.
This bloke went for a casual paddle
A Realsurf staple-( sorry Priddes for the plagarism)
No surf today but off to Vicco tomorrow for the weekend so heres hoping!
