Beach Brigade - Ron Schulhoff absolutely rips for a 40 year old. Surfs better than most 20 year olds and goes for it everytime he is in the water. He started the Beach Brigade w/ a couple buddies and it has blossomed into a full fledged ripper brigade. They can be found surfing north to Jalama and south to Cabo. Wherever they go,just know that they go big. The BRIGADE RULES!

Ninjas... - Well since i arrived at Lohifushi, ninjas allways seemed very bored and mellow, but i got the chance to see it work this year in September 2004 with 10-12 ft and check out the photo, the boring mellow wave turned into a frighting place to be ! believe me...

Jim - We had surfed Ninjas a few times at 4-5 foot and it was pretty fat and crap. Just a takeoff then a shoulder. Near the end of our trip we went out there on a bigger day and discovered the outside section. Its hard to make this section from the main peak (its about 100m away) but in the end we just sat there and took off from this section. Big drop and heavy too. Was probably heavier than any of the surfs we had at Cokes.
