Since your name is Otoko-rashi, you would have fit right in at the surf contest going down at our local break here in nor cal today. Total dyke fest man.
I've surfed at Onjuku in Chiba on a 4 ft day. Very nice and clean. I guess I was lucky. I live in Aichi now and would be suprised if we had 4 ft and and sort of clean. Well surfing in the slop has made me a better surfer though.
