Anyone in Japan?
Sakutama:
Hey guys! Anyone doing SUP over here in Japan?
comeu:
Hi,
I'm SUPing in Kansai /Kobe area.
airSUP:
I'm in Shonan or Chiba areas.
Was a nice weekend here.
comeu:
Chiba is a popular place for surfing, with lots of rental places. Did you find good places to start?
That picture is not from Japan, isn't it?

Katsuura (in Chiba, shown here) and Shonan turn on like this or bigger when typhoons go up the coast, about 20 times a year. Some typhoons produce clean triple overhead faces on the outer reefs.
Only one guy was out on a SUP when I was taking photos that day in Katsuura, the rest linked today are short board and long boarders.
There are a few local guys that SUP surf in the local breaks, if you know what you're doing there's usually no problem.
Beginners spots are there too, and a few rental places with more decent boards each year.
SUP is still very much a growing sport in Japan for sure.
