Surfing at the 2020 Olympic Games will take place in the ocean and not in an artifical wave pool, according to the International Surfing Association (ISA).
"With the support of the ISA, the IOC and the Tokyo 2020 organisers have determined that surfing will take place in the ocean in Tokyo, at Tsurigasaki Beach in Chiba," ISA president Fernando Aguerre told AFP today.
"The organising committee has not indicated anything to us about the possibility of changing their plan, so we are planning for the chosen location in the ocean."
"We are interested to learn of any developments of this kind, and obviously we stay in touch with surfing colleagues on all new initiatives which help in the development of our great sport."
