Tetsuhiko Endo is The Inertia's Surf Editor. Ted has never been to Hawai’i, surfs with a hunch, and can count the number of times he has pulled out of barrels. The only thing that qualifies him to write about surfing is that he grew up right next to the world headquarters of Hollister, in Columbus, Ohio. And his mind is slightly askew. That helps things along. He also writes for National Geographic, the New York Times, Popular Science, SURFER Magazine, The Surfer’s Path, Huck, and 3sesenta.
