Tai Fu: Typhoon Surfing in Japan

TAI FU From July to September each year, Japan lives in fear of Tai Fu - or typhoons - that are renowned for taking lives and devastating coastlines. When the typhoons hit, everyone from the hi-tech cities to sleepy fishing towns stop and brace themselves for the hellish onslaught. Last month, in a continuation of his quest to traverse the globe in search of new and challenging waves, Australia's veteran big-wave adventurer, Ross Clarke-Jones set out to harness that energy and surf a typhoon in Japan. Ross was joined by local Japanese tow-surfer Shimpei Horiguchi and a crew of some of the most experienced big-wave surfers on the planet including Tom Carroll, Brazilian Carlos Burle, Hawaiians Ian Walsh and Jun Jo and fellow Aussie Beau Emerton.

well, i surf okinawa. which is a gigantic piece of coral basically. but the reef breaks are really crazy. they almost always have waves but when they get big, you can't really predict how it will break. it often breaks otop itself and the very top and then the white water slides down the rest of the wave very seldom do we have nice barrels. and no. we don't live in fear of typhoons. gaijin.

I've been watching surfing videos all night. The surfing breaks at this beach are interesting. The waves seems to accelerate and tumble down uniformly. Can any one who has surfed the Japanese break provide any insight? If I'm correct, how does that effect the way you surf it? Thanks.
