Kochi wonderful country life 2

I have never traveled this part of Shikoku though I visited the most of Shikoku before.

The fragrant of the nature relaxes me comfortably, it is just like a meditation....

Surfing at Kochi Pref. Oct 2015

2 nights 3 days sleeping in a van & BBQ dinner surf trip in Kochi Pref with friends.

I didn't have my own board so borrowed from Nori-kun, which was not the best thing to do
but I managed to have several good waves and lots of fun.

Water was warm, I would say it was warmer than Sydney's summer water.

DAY 1 :  SMALL POWERLESS WAVE at FUTAMI BEACH

DAY 2 : KARITSU SURF BEACH

DAY 3 :  Typhoo swell has got to the peak, NUNO beach was the only option to surf. Amazingly uncrowded

After day we went back to Shimanto, and this was a next day at KURE , on the way to Kochi city
