I often played in the sea and I started surfing because there was a sea and a surfboard. As I grew up in Izu, Shizuoka, affluent with natural essence, I entered the sea everyday. While participating in numerous contests domestically and overseas, I feel surfing life even at trips and free surfing. Recently, I have started activities at my RINE SURF. While working as a coach, I am focusing on the development of surfing culture, improvement of surfing technology, and training of kids. At my school, I only run small and personal lessons, so that everyone can enjoy. When, what time to start and how long depends on students' convenience. School accepts only 1 group at a time and 1 instructor teaches less than 7 students. (ISA authorized lesson method) Everyone enjoys at the same time instead of taking turns. I continue to support even after school by e-mail, phone, etc. I know how to improve and I teach intensively for a person who is eager to achieve higher stages, though I generally offer simple and easy methods for children, women, elderly people, who are not confident. I never miss safety aspects for those who are not good at water.I'm conducting a school in a unique way with my knowledge in specialized coaching. I'd like to teach how to enjoy surfing and that's why I am waiting for your at RINE SURF.
