Cheyne Magnusson and camera guy Scott Smith (myself) arrive in Tokyo. It was my first time to Tokyo, and to my suspicion... no one else had red hair.
The Body Glove guys in Japan hooked us up! 30000 Yen to play with!
We were pretty proud of ourselves for going out when it was 4:15 AM to us really. But we were amped for sushi. It was #1 on the To Do List. So that motivated us and we got to it.
This guy was rad! He pulled a fish out of the tank, held it up, yelled something in Japanese, laid it down on the cutting board, and then chopped its head off and started slicing it up... then we ordered some. It doesn't get much fresher then that.
Saki... always fun!
Lovin' it. But then it was finally time for bed. Got to work in the morning.
Hard at work on my birthday outside of the surf shop, Beach Sound, in Tokyo.
Tina was our soon to be "Surfer Girl" that we geared up at the shop. 1/2 Japanese + 1/2 British = Beautiful
This guy loved Maui Fever
Told you it was my Birthday.
Peace.
Had to do a "time lapse" of the infamous crosswalk. Look for it in the video. It's like the Times Square of Tokyo.
The next day we boarded a boat that starts out in the water and then sets down some hydrofoils and goes 60 mph across the water in route to Niijima where the surf was. I think Laird Hamilton created it.
Cheyne, Japanese team rider Tetsuo, and Tina after arriving on the dock in Niijima. Take note of the awesome paint job of those hydroplane boats.
