This month will see the first ever Olympic surfing event run at a beach break in Chiba. This video shows the waves in that zone. While there have been a lot of people express interest in seeing the event run in a wave pool to keep consistency there are also many people who prefer the natural element of the beach...what is your take?


Surfers of Japan is a passion project. after surfing here for nearly 20 years and having to take a break from working on documentaries due to Covid.
I decided to grab my cameras and my surfboards and hit the road in my van to capture what surfing in Japan is really all about.
I am not a vlogger, have always much preferred the Taylor Steele style of surf film.
These videos are my attempt to capture some of the unique surfing magic that you can find in Japan.

Quiet, natural beauty...this is western Japan. If you decided to surf in this region be sure to treat the area and the people with respect.
Clean waves, great vibes. Surfing in Kamogawa is a great experience, whether you are a grom or a veteran surfer, Chiba is an awesome place to surf. Just around the corner from Tokyo Olympic site, be sure to be respectful and surf with Kamogawa style.

However, this day was different; good size waves, offshore conditions and plenty of smiles all round. there was a wave for every kind of surfer out there.
