Roxy surfer Kassia Meador spent the end of 2008 in Japan with fellow Longboarder Jen Smith promoting new women's surf flick Princess.
"For those of you who have yet to visit the house of the rising sun...book a ticket already...because it is truly an amazing place," she says. "The people are amazing, the food is uber-fantastic, the waves are fun and, did I mention its the best place ever?"
