We knew when we set out South To Sian we wanted to steer clear of crowds and clichés but it’s true that places might have crowds for a reason. We weren’t about to avoid some of the world’s best waves just because there’d be people there or someone had done it before us. Case in point, our second stop on the island hop was a wave that you’ve most likely heard of. It’s an incredible setup and no Indonesian surf trip could be complete without a visit to it.
THE SOUTH TO SIAN JOURNALS – CHAPTER 2
On the edge of Harajuku, a bold new sign has risen - The Residence of Impermanence - in Harajuku, Tokyo, is back. Art, surfboards, motorcycles, apparel, café, music - a place where all kinds of enthusiasms collide. Step inside to the Deus Café - a breezy open ceiling space, serving all-day breakfast and the perfect energy for every moment. We're not ones to argue with that. Climb the spiral staircase to surfboards quietly lined against a softly lit backdrop.
Shaped exclusively for the Residence by Takuya “Tappy” Yoshikawa, Tetsuya Ogawa, and Jared Mell, each board is one of a kind. Sofas once beloved at the former Harajuku store — crafted by TRUCK Furniture and Stephen Kenn — have been reupholstered and brought to life for their next chapter. They’ll take on new character with time — just like this place. We invite you to settle in and enjoy the flow.
Same name. New form. The spirit remains, just slightly rearranged. Come in, stay awhile. Find us at 2-32-5 Jingumae, Shibuya-Ku, BPR Square Jingumae 1-1F & 2F Tokyo.
In Benzin Veritas!

Kumpul-Kumpul Ride V “A wet Sunday is still a good day to ride.”
Jul 04, 2025
That morning, the last Sunday of June 2025, Bali breathed under a mist of drizzle. The wet season, which should’ve long packed up and left, stuck around just long enough to soak a single Sunday. But at the courtyard of Deus Temple Canggu, rain wasn’t a delay—it was the opening act.
