Ian’s not just “chasing big swell”....this is BUSINESS...he has to please his sponsors who are paying the bill to fly a camera crew, Ian & his friends to Japan. It’s not just very expensive airline tickets, hotel, food but, it’s also salaries for the camera crew, Ian, & other surfers as well as all the production team salaries that will turn all the clips into a video/movie plus future adverting money if it’s a movie that is released around the world. Ian is responsible to produce a video/movie to high light his trip which includes reading the wave/weather charts correction to get in the spot with big waves. Without a good BIG swell his sponsors might see it as a waste of THEIR money. Ian is a BIG wave surfer...so small wave video does not cut it. Without big waves his sponsors could cut his travel budget in the future or not sponsor him in the future. There is a lot of pressure on Ian not just to surf big waves but to keep his sponsors happy by producing an excellent video/movie to justify this trip. So give Ian a break he’s jet lags & stressed out about business while at the same time he has to focus on staying safe in these waves from a huge storm system. This is a very real behind the scenes pressure of all of these Big Wave surfers. There are not a lot of big wave sponsorships to be had so you need to please the sponsors by getting the job done efficiently, low budget and with big waves.

Thanks for the insightful comment @jan smith ... You're definitely right: it's not easy being a pro big wave surfer, but Ian has really mastered the game and at the end of the day, after all the business side of things, he still wants to be out there in the mix, catching the biggest waves.

I get that they're chasing big swell, but man, just be happy there are waves to surf, even good waves. You aren't where you're supposed to be, but you can tomorrow. So just enjoy the surf today ffs. I'm getting so tired of this serious, self obsessed bullshit struggle about swell hunt. It's cool when they hit it, but showing some happiness and gratefulness on the way won't hurt. Also, might be stupid to say, but wouldn't binoculars help checking the waves from the beach? At least a little bit?

If people are passionate about finding good waves, and they love doing it, then why should they give a fuck? just because you, an outside party, are sick of what they are doing? mind your own business and live your own life mate, I'm sick of the judgement and bullshit that goes along with the surf scene, what people are wearing, their skill level, what obsessions they have, all of which are none of anyone else's business but their own, if it's not causing you harm then let it be. You don't own the surfing scene, and what is and isn't ok by other people's standards is all opinion. If these guys wanna hunt waves, good on them for being that passionate.

When you get a really massive typhoon swell, Chiba is usually not the place to be (will become saturated), some reef breaks in Kanagawa will probably look much cleaner, and are even more of a gem when they wake up, since this area usually get less swell.

God calls it "chasing the wind." And it's not literal, it's figuratively referencing vanity. All the good waves will be surfed in vain if you aren't Free in Jesus Christ. You can shut down your mind in the moment of a surf all you want, but you will not be able to shut out the reality of the heavy set of eternal Judgment that is coming after your # is up. If you love surfing more than Jesus, then you are an idolater & need to repent & believe & be saved & transformed. May God bless you with True Freedom.
