Hiroto Ohara Wins S.LEAGUE GRAND FINALS ICHINOMIYA, Showcasing Strong Presence as LEUS Ambassador in His Home Break

Hiroto Ohara, an ambassador for the surf towel brand LEUS, has won the men's shortboard title at the 'S.LEAGUE 25-26 GRAND FINALS ICHINOMIYA' held at Ichinomiya Beach in Chosei-gun, Chiba Prefecture.

This tournament was the final event of the S.LEAGUE 25-26 season, held from April 21 to 25, 2026. In the men's shortboard division, Hiroto Ohara took 1st place, followed by Joe Azuchi in 2nd, with Yuta Tsukamoto and Roi Kanazawa both finishing in 3rd place.

For Ohara, Ichinomiya is a special place as it is his home break. In the season's final match held in these local waters, he delivered a powerful performance as a LEUS ambassador and successfully claimed the top spot.

LEUS values more than just the performance scenes of surfing. They aim to stay close to every moment of a surfer's daily life: the time spent heading to the ocean, waiting for waves, and wrapping oneself in a towel after getting out of the water.

Hiroto Ohara's victory this time is special news for LEUS, as it symbolizes both surfing as a sport and surf culture as a lifestyle.

Strength and Presence Shown at His Home Break, Ichinomiya

'S.LEAGUE 25-26 GRAND FINALS ICHINOMIYA' is a crucial match that concludes the season, staged at Ichinomiya Beach in Chosei-gun, Chiba Prefecture. According to the official tournament website, the event took place from April 21 to 25, 2026.

Hiroto Ohara, a native of Ichinomiya, Chiba, has been leading the Japanese surf scene with his experience competing on the world stage and his deep knowledge of the local waves. In the finals, he calmly selected waves despite difficult conditions, stacking scores with his signature speed and sharp turns to reach the pinnacle of the final match. His riding style, which combined the strength to win in local waters with an attractive style, strongly impressed his presence as a LEUS ambassador.

Surfing is not completed only by the time spent riding waves. It includes the time spent heading to the sea before sunrise, checking waves with friends, and reflecting on the next ride while wrapped in a towel after a heat. LEUS supports surfers in all scenes—beaches, trips, contests, and daily life—as a brand that stays close to their day.
