New Zealand s surfing team are looking forward to showcasing the very best of their sport, but they know much will depend on the size of the waves at Tsurigasaki Surfing Beach. When it comes to extreme sports like skateboarding or motocross and surfing, it s about the tricks, it s about the manoeuvres and that produces excitement, New Zealand coach Matt Scorringe told Reuters. Without the waves it s really tricky to do that - the waves play an important role and the surfers can show the world where their talent is on the wave.
Scorringe said the Tokyo Games represented a huge opportunity for the sport.
