wow, what awesome timing again. last week this storm wasn’t even here, now it is. this storm is forecasted to be right off taiwan, then hit the whole japan. for now, my plan is to surf taiwan, then chase the typhoon up to japan from behind. hopefully get some back swell somewhere. want to avoid the rain as much as possible because rain and high temperatures equals muggy and sweat.
just heard from Keith down in south taiwan that the waves from this new swell already came up today. and now my phone and emails are pouring in with reports from all over asia. this is my job, and this is an adventure. been doing this for 20 plus years and i’m super excited this time. surfing is my job, surfing is my life, and surfing is what i will do for the rest of my life. hope you are all getting some swell where ever you are. and to my friends in okinawa, shikoku, wakayama, shizuoka, shonan, chiba, tokyo, and everywhere else. i hope to see you sometime soon.
