…thanks man; may be some of you are in the know of a shaping bay to rent for a couple of days…
Just going for a short trip or unkown amount of time?
…several weeks
…just got a PM from verb, and he’s there and realizing his quest… good on ya mate!
…ok, Im back in my little shed.
What a great country; many experiences but you need no less than 6 months to really dig everything. Lots of things to do and see, then learn about them and understand a bit more of a very unique society.
Im interested in several things so 2 months was not enough; however, Im starting to learn the language to be more involved and be prepared for a next time. -regarding boards+industry, well, all the things what I supposed was confirmed. -I can say a lot about it but I prefer to keep it not public.
-I was in many surf shops and checked most boards. Also, I saw shapes/boards by members from here, like Gene Cooper, DS, Olsen, Lovelace, Burger.
The difficult part to go more inside the local industry is the language.
Yes, the Japanese board market is a wild & crazy place.
Glad you came away with good experiences…
