Zac Haynes on his film: “Pearl Moon was shot over a 6 month period starting with a swell on the South Coast of WA at a few of my favourite waves. The session at the left ended in a pretty heavy way with losing a ski to the rocks and Jesse snapping his leg in a couple of places. Followed by cold water and shallow ledges in Europe, plenty of stormy cold days battened down at the pub but the windows in-between fronts with clean winds and solid swell will always be worth the wait. Finishing off in the tropical paradise of Tahiti scoring endless pits at the world’s most perfect slab, what more could you ask for than scoring Chopes with just you and a few mates out.”
Living just 20 minutes away from Yokohama, Sano regularly surfs on the black-sand beach near Enoshima. Add into this that he didn’t start surfing until into his 80s, it really is never too late to start, if you don’t use it, you loose it.*
“I have never thought of myself as an old person. I always feel that I can still move forward. I can still do it. I can still enjoy it.”
“I enjoy being swept up in the wave, I am not a good surfer. So I call myself a ‘small-wave surfer’ — out of respect for those who surf well.”
Stay stoked Seiichi, stay stoked.
*Seiichi was was 88 years and 288 days old when the record was verified by Guinness World Records on 8 July 2022. He was born in Hokkaido on 23 September 1933, and will be rocking the the big 90 this year.
