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?
Geoff,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great business!
I love the packaging and your surfer notes. We live in Wilmington, NC which has some decent waves. Nothing really compares to California though.
It's great to see you creating good, natural products. Thanks for tracking me down and getting back in touch.
Best wishes,
Daryl
