Typhoons 9,10, 11

Consecutive typhoons (9,10 & 11) have been spinning their way down south, moving incredibly slowly, and producing a couple weeks of long-period swell. The conditions up here in Hokkaido have been fantastic, sunny blue skies and clean faces. Up until yesterday, I had logged 18 sessions in the first 14 days of July. I finally took a day off today to kind of rest up for another bump in the swell tomorrow. I'm throwing up a few pics from the last week, we had bigger days, but the pics kinda capture the mood...Many thanks to Hiroyasu for the action shots...

Official End of Rainy Season

They say there's no rainy season in Hokkaido, but in each of the 15 Junes I've been here, it's rained like hell. Today we got a reprieve after nine days of sog...With the sun, we had a nice a bit of swell, and a low low tide...which all added up to an awesome morning. Long may the sun last...
