Seiichi Sano has just been honored by Guinness World Records as the oldest male to surf.
Seiichi Sano, an 89-year-old Japanese man, rides a wave at Katase Nishihama Beach, in Fujisawa, south of Tokyo. FUJISAWA, Japan — A busy company owner for the early part of his life, Seiichi Sano began anew at 80 by climbing Mt. Fuji. Apparently not challenged enough by Japan’s highest peak, he almost immediately took up surfing.
Sano lives about 20 minutes from Yokohama and gets out most weekends on the black-sand beach near Enoshima, the small island that hosted sailing for the recent Tokyo Olympics, and was the harbor for the 1964 Games. Seiichi Sano, an 89-year-old Japanese man, has been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the oldest male to surf. Enoshima is an area of small waves, which suits Sano. He joined hundreds of other surfers on Thursday, waiting for the larger waves to come. All the surfers were younger, of course. Several were elementary school or junior high age who also work with Sano’s surf instructor, 46-year-old Kazuto Shimizu.“I think age doesn’t matter in surfing,” 12-year-old Iroha Shimabukuro said.
“I enjoy being swept up in the wave,” he added. “I am not a good surfer. So I call myself a ‘small-wave surfer’ — out of respect for those who surf well.”

Breakingviews - Powell is leader of the free world – for nowAs of early February, Joe Biden had never phoned up Jerome Powell. Yet the U.S. President’s bid to win a second term next year resides, in part, on how the chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve deals with high inflation and a banking crisis. As former President Donald Trump will attest, Powell will do what he thinks it’s right. But that may not stop Biden wishing he could push the Fed to do what’s politically expedient, especially given the economic predicament Powell is in.
