Additional Information

Gets real crowded during summer. Surf in Fall or Spring during the typhoons. Left of Ohama beach is a river and a small beach Maiso hama. Good lefts on the rocks and river mouth rarely gets good but worth the look. Watch out for locals and smile.

Atmosphere

Winter: gets fucking cold. Surfed it in the snow with TC. What up Church! Long time no see or hear. We surfed it 3-4 ft good form and frooooooze our asses off. Got back to the shack and no hot water, had to take a cold shower.... Go to the Onsen (hot springs) and drink Sake!

General

Miss the days when it's going off. When it's flat and packed, it's pretty boring.
