L i f e i n B o n i n I s l a n d


After living a monotonous life, commuting for 3 hours a day, getting all the new viruses available, confused and tired; decision time hit my life. Traveled for 3 months in search of answers and guidance. It was Chichijima were the flow took us to and now it is our home. Time has stopped and now we LIVE life.

Surfing scene - Matsu

I have been trying to get into surfing but Ogasawara does not have the most appropriate surf spots for starters. They are mostly reef braking waves in shallow waters. I often hear of people getting injured while surfing but since surfing seems to be an addiction as soon as they have healed they go back.
Matsu - breaks inside the main bay with the help of a huge rock called the Tofu-iwa  (it is shaped like the little tofus you get in your miso soup). Driving through a dirt road for 2 min and then walking for 5 min to the surf breaking point, mainly locals are seen here. 
I climbed through the mountain to get a better view of the surfers and the waves.
