SB Surfboards BlogChiba - Tyron Surf Shop2/22/09
Well we are about a week into the trip and this is our second surf shop that we have visited. Tyron is a really good shop. It is bigger than most shops and has a lot of good product. Toyoda, the owner, has been getting SBs for about as long as Steve has been sending them to Japan. He used to sponsor Travis Molina for wetsuits in the nineties. This was a cool deal because it was like a mini forum in the surf shop. Kind of had a town hall feeling with all the shop staff, riders and customers gathered around Steve as he explained all the models. Tyron is pretty much just a high performance shortboard shop so CJ and Loafer were bored but get those guys a Georgia Max Coffee (hot coffee in a can in a vending machine. Why do we not have this in America????) and they will find something to do. Overall, good meeting with Toyoda and his right hand man Tetsuya. Off to Shonan!
