Shizuoka Area this week
Bart Templeman
Leandro Yanaguita
Shinobi
This Thursday we got some waves in Shizuoka , not that big , but much better than the previous week . Nice to met my friends , and today 3 of them got some nice moves as you can in these photos on the top . The American guy from California Bart was doing his every day surfing , and he got this aero on the sand . My broo Leandro also got some nice moves and show up his aggressive style as always . The last highlights go to Shinobi , even with the waves not that big he found a place to protect him self from the sun .
Some other photos of the day you can see in the slide show down here , enjoy it .

Hubbard Brothers
Dave Hubbard
These brothers are really cool , both are great body boarders from Hawaii . Jeff is World champion , the current world tour leader and for sure one of the best body boarders throughout history . Dave is also taking part of the World tour and a drop knee World champ .
Jeff and Dave Hubbard at home - Pipeline
Both are really friendly , everytime I met them on the beach they were really cool with me . A good example for some guys , that have not yet achieved any success in the professional surf , but act as if they were true Kelly Slaters .

Australian week
Parkison wins Bells Beach Pro
All OZs should be happy about the Australians surfers and body boarders performance this week . Parkison won Bells beach in the final against Fanning , in the women's event the young OZ Sally Fitzgibbons won against Carissa Moore . Before that At Margaret River the local Ryan Hardy won against Magno Oliveira from Brazil in the body board World tour .
The Brazilians guys didn't win , but they got very good results . Adriano Souza could make until the semi final beating Kelly Slater in the quarter finals , losing to Fanning in the semi final later . Jadson also did well and finished in the 5th position . Maybe one day Japan can start to take part of this events aswell , all hopes are in the new generation .
Sally Fitzgibbons
Ryan Hardy - The Box Pro Winner
Well done IBA , during the WCT was going on in Bells beach with average waves , Margaret rivers was insane , maybe so dangerous to the surf boards .
......On Sunday
Shizunami Beach this Sunday
Easter Sunday - the waves didn't change so much from Saturday , windy and cold again . But for this week is starting now we have some hope , as you can see in the graphic down here . I guess from Tuesday might have some waves in Omaezaki and all Shizuoka area . Really waiting for that .

Junk Waves this saturday
Fucking windy this saturday , what a waste of swell . Anyway my self my girl and some few friends found some waves at Komanba point in Iwata . Roger , Ceara , Leandro and Renatinho . The last guy Renatinho was trying his limits close to the rocks and he paid the price , a big cut on the ear . But nothing serious to stop him , after the hospital he was back there , ready to fight again .

Trip Mag
Last week my friend Sharel lend me this mag from Brazil called Trip . I know trip for a while , since I was 12 I guess . When I lived in Australia , the Trip mag rented the studio I used to work to and it was cool .
Trip mag is about everything I like , surf , music , sports , health , girls , fashion .....all issues are addressed very differently from traditional media . It's an underground mag to people like me . When I see the standard surf mags , I feel not comfortable . Everybody is just so super cool , everything is just so Billabong or so Volcom or whatever .
This number Trip is Talking about one Brazilian surfer called Pepe . He is a legendary surfer from the 70ths , and beacame a hang gliding world champ later . He died in Japan on 4th of April 1991 , trying to fly from Wakayama until Kushimoto . When I find some time I tell the full history here , by the way go to http://revistatrip.uol.com.br/ and find out more about trip mag .

My favorite lens - AF Nikkor 50mm 1:1.4D
Dragon Fruits
Ok , here goes the situation ; earthquake happening , I have to run away and I can take only one of my lens . Do suru ? wich one ? Sure I will choose my 50mm lens . Why? Well , the 50mm is the lens with the nearest vision of the human eye , it's not big , aperture 1.4 , great results always , makes a beginner looks like a professional photographer . You can use it for surf , people and anything else . Thank's Sabino for the lens and thank's Aimi's dad for the Dragon Fruits , oishiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

Small dangerous Surf
As everybody knows we are facing a real nuclear crisis in Japan right now . Radioactive waste is leaking from Fukushima Nuclear power station , contaminating the sea wtaer . We do not know yet how it can affect our health or not . Maybe do not affect our health , maybe yes . The true is that nobody knows for sure the possible consequences that may occur to us . So just in case , I think it's better keep away from the sea for a while . I know it's hard to do , my self I already surf after all . But think for a while , is a smart thing to do surf small waves like this photo on the top knowing the risks we can take . Think about this , and good luck for all of us .
