About this camp

Forest Surfing School Ichinomiya (フォレストサーフィングスクール一宮) is a one-man operation run by Mori, a 20-plus-year competitive surfer (JPSA Choda Pro main-draw appearances, 20+ years representing Saitama at the NSA All Japan Championships). Lessons run about two hours, split into a beginner course and an intermediate-advanced course with video and on-land feedback. Board and wetsuit rental, free parking, hot-water showers, changing rooms and a dog run are all on site. The school is on the Ichinomiya/Taito stretch of Chiba's surf beaches, the same coast as Tsurigasaki.
