Of all the places, it was on local news channel CP24's news ticker where I found out that Kanagawa Prefecture resident Seiichi Sano（佐野誠一）had been certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest active male surfer at the age of 89 (there's an article on "The Daily News"). Many congratulations to him and I hope that he does have many more years of hanging ten. Naturally, as the whimsiness within me is wont to do, I just had to start today with an Author's Picks regarding surf-related or at least surf-titled Japanese tunes since on seeing the news scroll by this morning, a number of them popped up in my head.
(1993) Misato Watanabe -- Big Wave Yattekita （BIG WAVE やってきた）
(1984) Tatsuro Yamashita -- Theme from "Big Wave"
(2014) Junk Fujiyama -- Hoshikuzu no Pipeline （星屑のパイプライン）
(1978) Yellow Magic Orchestra -- Cosmic Surfin'
(1983) Anri -- Surf City
