Since he had started from the fan board of first 7.4ft, but we were using the board locker,
From the purchase a 5.10ft Fish board of (mid-length), you have to lift.
Movement is overwhelmingly easy is better to rent a board locker, but,
Toka want to go to other surf spots, Toka want to do in their own plate also abroad
If the desire is more crowded, it is better to carry.

To be honest, it was a very short distance to go on a day trip from Tokyo by train.
電車の場合は「特急わかしお」を利用するのが最速で良いですが、
東京駅・浜松町から安房鴨川駅・亀田病院までHighway bus (2,450 yen one way)Is also running, so it seems better to use it for cospa.
The sea (Seaside Point) is a short walk from the station, so it would have been nice if we could secure a shower and lockers.

Yourself near the Marquis pointGrassyI rented a shower and a changing room. I was impressed by the kind staff.
Maruki Point has good surfing because surfing games are also held, and it seems convenient if it is a car because it is a parking lot in front.
Basically it is a beach break, but please be careful because the left side is a reef and the number of locals increases when the waves are good.
