Hello Waves!!!!!!!!!!!

Word from Ryo and he and Phileas have had some waves! It's not been cranking but it's been surf and it looks pretty glassy.

Ryo says:

"The Surf's Up ! to kamakura last week end Phileas get wet ! and I ride to Phileas !!  Swell at this time Is from the typhoon No. 22 to go near the Philippines to the west. 

No.22 typhoon name is HAIMA."

Hopefully we'll get to see some more surf before she moves on. 

Keep sliding Ryo!

Japan - Still Flat...

Ryo Hiwasa is a man on a mission. A mission for waves. It's he getting waves?

No...  Ryo says:

2-month of sunny weekend but no wave. Many of the surfers trying to ride the wave 😅

Poor old Ryo. At least he's finding the humour in it! We shall carry on with the way and I urge the mat world to collectively pray to both Neptune and Poseidon to stop sitting around and to get some waves going!

In fairness, they are busy in the North Atlantic, but come on fellas. You're meant to be deities! 

Stay tuned...  Phileas IS gonna get some waves in Japan! 

Cheers

Hello Asia!!! Phileas Lands in Japan

We have received confirmation. Phileas has landed in Japan. 

And from what I gather, is really looking forward to her adventures with Ryo Hiwasa. 

Ryo has some fun things planned for her. Can't wait for the postcards. 😊

Bye Bye to the Sandwich Islands

So then, Phileas is about to head on to Japan to hook up with Ryo Hiwasa. She's had a good time in Hawaii, although the Island Gods seemed to conspire against any usable footage of waves being ridden, we did get some amazing shots of scenery and some pearls of wisdom from Ambrose Curry.

Thanks so much to Chris Gilding, Brandon Treloar, Dave Montasevitch, Ambrose Curry and Wild Bill Osgood. Phileas has had a Blast!

So on she goes to the other side of the Pacific... Can't wait!
