It\u2019s a well established surf point, so SUP riders are asked to give way to surfers on high wave days but can enjoy SUP there on flat condition days. Takashi Fukai is a long-time local surfer. He converted an old-style \u201c<em>uminoie<\/em>\u201d into the Beach Store four years ago. The cozy shop carries stock of both new and used boards, paddles, accessories and wear. He also serves cold drinks, shaved ice, smoothies, alcohol and offers a BBQ plan. Rentals and lessons available. Takashi competes in SUP races and is one of only a few SUPA registered instructors in Fukuoka\u2026 and he speaks English!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-51111\" alt=\"fn187 sup BEACH STORE 001\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/fn187-sup-BEACH-STORE-001.jpg?resize=640%2C480\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/fn187-sup-BEACH-STORE-001.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/fn187-sup-BEACH-STORE-001.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/fn187-sup-BEACH-STORE-007.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fn187 sup BEACH STORE 007\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/fn187-sup-BEACH-STORE-007.jpg?resize=512%2C768\" width=\"512\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Equipment &amp; services<\/strong><br \/>\nAny brand of board and paddle can be ordered, but Beach Store recommends Sawarna boards and paddles.

Etsuji Tomoeda began Lady Wave here thirty years for fellow windsurfers. A few years ago he added SUP to the lineup. Now over ninety SUP boards are kept in the storage there, making Lady Wave single most popular SUP facility in Fukuoka. It&#8217;s a great place to meet other SUP enthusiasts. Many of the experienced paddlers have crossed over from windsurfing. Tomoeda-san\u2019s lessons are very popular and can be booked for any time or day of the week.
