The Inertia

Living between Japan, California, and Hawaii, Naki is always photographing, painting, designing, and of course, surfing. His sole aim is to spread a love for the ocean. He communicates as much across the seas through his lifestyle, as well as his company NakiSurf.

“The base of authentic surf culture is experiencing true happiness in surfing,” he says, “then channeling that into a creative outlet by writing, painting, or making movies about it.”
