Proudly representing Japan.

At 47 years old when I was diagnosed as visually impaired, and I changed job. As my vision impairment is progressive , I am still experiencing narrowing of my field of vision. I am confident I can contribute to the success of the Japanese team in this world level competition.

I started surfing in 1981 and use to be test rider for 2 surf shops in Tokyo and 1 surf shop in Odawara named BEE. I also made several surf trips abroad . In 1995 I was involved in a road accident taht was not my fault.




After 10 years of rehabilitation I was able to go back to the water. Always trying to give my best to improve, I am a true ocean lover and I spend as much time as I can in the water.

Hi everybody.

I would like to let as many people as possible know about Adaptive Surfing (Para Surfing).

I want to contribute to create an ocean environment that is accessible to all people.

My name is Suguru I am a para surfer from Chiba. I am very honored to represent my country Japan.

About 10 years ago, I participated in a local surf shop sponsored competition (nondisabled athlete).

I placed 4th out of 20.

I haven't participated in any other competitions since then.

I am a surfer from Ichinomiya.
