Around The World In 80 Waves

I am supposed to be surfing whilst on this trip so need to get out of Tokyo and back to the coast. However I was unaware prior to arriving here exactly how close the damaged reactors at Fukushima were to Tokyo itself.

It is less than two hundred miles away, which isn’t exactly next door, but is certainly giving me pause for thought about where on the pacific coast I should get into the water. Especially because of all the highly radioactive water leaks which have just been running into the ocean from the reactors, even within the last few weeks.

It may well be the opportunity I always wanted as a child to develop a super power of my own, but in the interest of my own longevity I think I will head south and see how I get on down there. The Toxic Anger wouldn’t be what I had in mind.

I do not know if I will get off the main island of Honshu due to time constraints, but hopefully I will find a break or two that can help me to make my surfboard glow in the dark.
