Hi Doug, "Surfboardriding"?? The best surfing on Kyushu is probably to be had along the coast of Miyazaki Prefecture in the south-east. (Kagoshima Prefecture, which borders Miyazaki-ken is less well-known but sometimes mentioned as well). For an uncluttered map of Kyushu showing the prefectural borders, have a look at: This Map of Kyushu You'll see Miyazaki-ken running down most of the eastern coast of Kyushu and Kagoshima-ken located at the southern end of the island. In his article The Thrill of Surfing Japanese local, Arata Narita, writes: " The reason why I started surfing is that I came across a beautiful beach in Miyazaki, Japan. Miyazaki is one of the most famous spots for surfing in Japan. In summer time, many surfers visit Miyazaki from all over Japan or even from overseas. " There isn't so much to read about Kagoshima, but there is a wealth of info on the more famous Miyazaki. Outdoorjapan.com has Surf Break Tables for the Miyazaki coastline compiled by Matt Lindsay & Yoko Kohara Outdoorjapan.com also has three surf maps showing the Miyazaki-ken coast line from Saikouji south to Kawaminami Miyazaki Jingu south to Aoshima Odoutsu south to Uchiumi Jeff, the author of the Western Japan surf guide at Hold-Out.com writes: The main thing I know about Kyushu is that the ramen is excellent but... there are a lot of good breaks near Miyazaki City, and in the Nichinan and Osumi areas.
