The Aussie surfer secretly hoping for a typhoon at the Tokyo Olympics | tomdecent

The International Olympic Committee and Japanese organisers can ill-afford any hiccups as they attempt to successfully stage the world’s largest sporting event in the middle of a pandemic.

Typhoons on the lower end of the spectrum result in little more than heavy rain and strong winds, which form over the ocean.During Typhoon Hagibis, adrenaline junkies surfed some brilliant waves across Japan. Wilson, who last week was named alongside Sally Fitzgibbons, Steph Gilmore and Owen Wright in Australia’s four-person team, has experienced similar conditions in Japan before.

“It can get big. When the world tour was in that area they had to move locations - because the waves were too big - to some point breaks. It can get well overhead.”
