Success of the 4th Bali Surf Camp: Nourishing Future Surfing Talents

Strong Heart Corporation, based in Minato, Tokyo, successfully supported the 4th Bali Surf Camp held from March 16 to April 1. This initiative was organized by professional surfer Tomonori Mori (@morisurcoach.jp) to cultivate the next generation of surfers. Thirteen participants, ranging from elementary school students to adults, were selected from Mori's coaching sessions held in Kanagawa, Shizuoka, and Shimane Prefectures. The company provided financial support and its protein bar, Strong Bar, to foster the growth of these young surfers during their experience in Bali, Indonesia.

Background and Purpose: Fostering 'Human Strength' Through Surfing

The camp spanned approximately two weeks in Bali, known for its fantastic surfing conditions compared to Japan. Mori's approach emphasizes not only skill improvement but also the development of qualities like humility towards nature, a spirit of challenge, and discipline. This philosophy resonates with Strong Heart's brand concept of supporting those who strive to improve, which is why the company chose to assist with both resources and finances.

Main Activities and Achievements of the Camp

Intensive Training in a World-Class Environment

Participants from Shimane, Shizuoka, and Chigasaki gathered to undergo rigorous training, participating in 2 to 3 practice sessions daily in Bali's flourishing waves. Utilizing jet skis for repetitive training—something challenging to implement in Japan—allowed them to experience catching waves at a rate over three times that of traditional methods.

Mental Workshop with the Harada Method®

On March 19, coinciding with Nyepi Day, a day of silence and reflection in Bali, a mental workshop was conducted by coach Miki Takahashi. Participants engaged in goal-setting exercises employing the Harada Method, a technique used by athletes like Shohei Ohtani. Through self-reflection, campers cultivated their ability to identify personal challenges.

Physical Support from Strong Bar

Throughout the demanding training sessions, participants utilized Strong Bar. Known for its high dietary fiber content (inulin), this product helps maintain gastrointestinal health, especially under physical strain. Feedback highlighted that the bars kept them satiated, allowing them to maintain focus on surfing effectively.

The Triumph of Instructor Tomonori Mori

Immediately following the camp, Mori participated in the S.LEAGUE competition and achieved an impressive third-place finish. His dedication to both mentoring the young surfers and honing his own skills translated into success on the professional stage.

Comments from Tomonori Mori

“The waves in Bali are the best in the world, but the conditions can be challenging. The kids maintained their focus and grew both physically and mentally, thanks in part to the nutritional support from Strong Bar. I look forward to seeing them apply the discipline and respect they learned as they continue their journeys.”
