. What is the point of today's coordination?

What did you think of the Vans sneakers you wore this time?

Igarashi:I thought the OSB wood and cork-like texture of the insole was also a nice touch of a sustainable approach.

Igarashi:The first impression of the design is flashy and uplifting, so I would simply wear them during messy weather. I thought it would be a pair that would look great at the beach.
Please tell us about your favorite surfers, surf movies, and surf music.
Igarashi:When I started surfing, I admired Kalani Robb of "Drive Thru" and rode thrusters in my 20s. Now that I'm a bit older, I tend to ride "FISH" and mid-length boards more often, so I refer to Devon Howard and other alternative surfers. . As for surf movies, I like all of Andrew Kidman's films.
Please tell us about your surfing history , surf spots and surf stores you frequent.
Igarashi:I have been surfing for about 13 years. I don't know if I can call myself a local, but the surf spots I often go to are Sunrise or Yong Rise in northern Chiba. It may not be a surf store, but I sometimes go to "Brine" to see Mr. Yoshioka, who is a master of knowledge for me. I learn a lot just by listening to him. And RIDE SURF + SPORT. I think these two are surf stores that you should visit at least once.

Fukumoto:Coffee is the best, but since I spend more time at home in Corona, I also listen to music or play the guitar at home more slowly these days.
