Just received a good size retail order from Osaka today - apparently natural candles from Topanga, CA can appeal to the Japanese audience (who knew?). Maybe a road trip to Japan is in order - big surf scene in Japan. Here are some useful phrases I'll have to learn if I ever get in the water there:
NAMI = WAVE
GUCHAGUCHA = CHOPPY WAVES
OBA HEAD = OVERHEAD
SUMEIMASEN = EXCUSE ME
DOZO = AFTER YOU
ASHITA DOCO-GA EE-NAMI? = WHERE IS IT GOING TO BE GOOD TOMORROW?
