Niijima - Habushiura
Edit SpotAbout
When i was there it was big and the banks were not so good but it is supposed to get good sometimes i guess you just have to be lucky.
Atmosphere:
If you go in summer it there are more people, more girls, if it's flat try the onsen. Stay at the temporary campsite right next to the beach (it's at the sports ground and it's free) and the actuall campsite got destroyed in an earthquake! You can check the wave for this spot by going to : http://www.cwoop.com/taitocam.html
Additional Info:
Further up the beach towards the missile launch site there is are good banks, butlocals might be a bit more aggressive here.The OIOI World Championship used to be held here.
