Well, I finally hit Oarai's Sun Beach [latitude: 36.29077703961915
longitude: 140.5613136291504] and tried my best to learn to surf. I really would have benefited from a teacher, but I read up on the internet and gave it the old college try. I actually kind of stood up a couple of times, but the waves were super mushy and not really powerful enough for me to learn on easily. There were a couple of super-pro veterans out there who could ride even the tiniest and mushiest wave all the way in, but most were in the boat with me... suffering from low-power blues.
I certainly had a good time, though. Blake, Jesus, and I spend the whole day on the beach (we left at 6:30 from their place in Omiya) and I forgot to reapply the sunscreen on my head, so I got a wee bit toasted on the noggin.
We're having a big beach party this Monday, which i am super stoked about. Wish you could all be there!

Man, I always wanted to learn to surf but was never close enough to a beach. So I took up hang gliding instead - I have no regrets other than the storage requirements - kinda hard to put the glider in a corner. But anyway, glad your having a blast and hope some more hardy waves will come your way. BTW all the facebook pix are cool.
