Another thing, don't go during "Golden Week" or "O-bon".
And don't curse my name if you are fool enough to do so.
Just kidding! The campsite itself is not that popular. It's also a large area so there are always some secluded spots. It's the traffic and crowded breaks that kill. Like I mentioned above; there are only 2 main roads running down the Chiba coastline.
A few years back, it took me 7hours to do a usally 2hour drive from Chiba to Kamogawa. I take my summer vacation a week after Obon now.
But if traffic jams don't make bug you, go for it.

Sorry, the wave size "fluctuates".

Kamogawa and Katsuura are just a 20 minute drive in either direction. The waves fluctuate, but you can usually count on a 4-6 foot swell somewhere in the area. Check out alot of spots before you decide. There's only two main roads that run down the coastline so it's pretty easy to navigate.
Water quality at the beaches is pretty good. Visibility to 15feet on somedays less than 3feet after a storm or typhoon mucks it up. The campsite isn't too bad either, but I woudn't drink the river water. I've eaten fish that I caught out of it though, didn't have any problems after that.

I think it means that the machine doesn't have the necessary sensors in the dispenser chute.

Kimutaku? Ask a Japanese surfer of their opinion of him.
Evidently he's got a pretty bum-rep with the surfer crowd and can't even go surfing without a 20+ man entourage of his croonies to surround and "protect him" out in the breaks. This dates back to him dissing a pro-surfer a couple years back, evidently....
I'm not too familiar with the details, I'll ask my resident Beach Bum when he gets back from Sri Lanka.

I've been camping there quite a few times.
Nice place to set up a base camp when spending a weekend or more surfing.

What the anti-gun crowd refuse to admit, is that the NRA spends more than 2/3rds of it's revenue on gun/firearm safety education, and advocate more stringent background checks. An NRA spokesman said shortly after the VTech shooting, something to the effect of; if the checks that the NRA approves of were in place, Choi would have never been able to purchase even a hunting rifle.

I still stand fast with the King and Queen of Sealand. A family of 6 fought 2 wars (against England and Germany) and still stick it to the man by remaining free and independant.

And to the prudes. I suppose then, that the National Geographic and the Discovery Channel are "lewd" for showing, OMG! naked breasts and men in clad only in penis sheaths! Naked tribal men and women! Naked tribal Children! This constitutes child pornography! Worship of the phallus is one of the oldest forms of deity-worship, and understandably so; as ancient cultures depended heavily on high birth rates.

Misleading caption. The actual festival is men in priests robes carrying a wooden un-painted phallus that is thrice the size of the that pink one. Women wishing for successful pregnancy are invited to straddle the wooden phallus as the preists chant mantras to the fertility god. The pink phallus and the Okamas are some 2-chome lady-dudes trying to jump the bandwagon.

"I also think it's sickening how teams feature carnivorous animals as their mascots, like the Tigers and Lions.
Why can't they take the lead of the Yakult Swallows and promote a healthy vegan lifestyle.
I'd definitely go and watch the Rakuten Rabbits play the Saitama Seibu Soybeans."
As long as sports are male-dominated, cute, fluffy, and vegetative team names are not gonna be popular. A zucchini just doesn't garner the same respect as a bear, eagle, lion, shark, tiger, pirate, rocket, marlin, fighter, giant, wolf, bull, devil ray, etc...
Moderator: Back on topic please.

With the same priciple applied, the same can be said about every livestock farmer, fisherman and herdsman. Killing animals for food and clothing doesn't seem to be leaving our evolution anytime soon.
