Cheyne Magnusson jet-sets to Tokyo, Japan and meets up with the beautiful Tina Bingham and Japanese team-rider Tetsuo Hosokawa. After getting Tina geared up for a little adventure to Niijima Island it was time to board the hydrofoil ferry. The goal was to escape the city and teach Tina a thing or two about surfing while she teaches us about the Japanese culture.
Consider two representations of two very big waves, below. The first is a photograph of Mike Parsons at Cortes Bank. The second is a video of Garrett McNamara near Nazare, Portugal. Now take out some measuring tape and make the distance of one foot between your hands. That's the amount, according to the Billabong XXL committee, that McNamara's wave is bigger than Parsons's wave.
