4 Jim the Genius

Howzit, Jim

I went through a couple Japanese Surfboard catalogs and came up with nothing. Can you tell me a little more info about Makoto Fujiwara. There’s a Japanese shaper near my house who learned to shape at Hobie in Cali in the 60’s he might know. All the shapers are pretty much connected in Osaka City so I’m sure I’ll find him. Is there a message you want me to give him?

Somewhere in all my disorganized crap is his cell # and adress in Kyoto. I felt badly that he got the bums rush by the US immigration, after all, all he was doing was, learning the trade and building biz for me in Japan. He is far from the terrorist thugs that found their way into our country. He opened a lot of doors for me in Japan and I still have one of his new boards that he shaped before going back to Japan. I know he would like to get it someday and I ship to Plana in Osaka, so I’ll look for more info on him. Thanks
