If we’re being honest, most surfers only love a secret spot when they’re in on the secret. But no matter how secret a wave is (or why some insist on keeping it that way), there is one shared fascination we can all appreciate about them: they make us daydream like crazy.
When you don’t know how to get to a wave, when you don’t know its quirks or how rare its best days are, what you do get is the chance to let your mind wander. It gets to live in dreamland. And this a-frame slab in Japan fits the bill.
“It’s a 12-hour drive from Tokyo and you need to cross a few mountains to get there,” filmmaker and photographer Pedro Gomes tells The Inertia.
According to Gomes, who took the 12-hour journey with Reo Inaba, Keito Matsuoka, Shunsuke Ezawa, and Shu Hagiwara, this place lives up to another secret-wave stereotype: it rarely looks like this.
