Hi Red, so your thickest point is forward of your wide point? Does this carry through the foil to the rails or only at the stringer? Cheers!

A *bule in Java

*bule => Indonesian for 'westerner' (lit. albino) This tickled me and I thought others who know indonesia might enjoy. A few weeks ago, my friend Will was driving through the night to meet me at the beach for a surf. His wife Christin was sitting in the back (probably shaking with fear as Will attac...

Indon

Big filthy waves at the local today but neither the board or the balls to take it on... must've been 4x's overhead on the peak and tons of water moving around. Got an sms earlier from Docturbo saying he was in front of 6ft indicators and getting ready to go in - very heavy wave. Indon in full swing ...

Filthy one - temples looking like padang!

When this man can go long enough without falling off his motorbike to get in the water, it seems he gets some great kegs :lol:

Great clip and surfing :D

Dunc, there's a simple way round the soundtrack thing if it gets blocked. You submit a form saying its for educational use. Cut and paste job, takes about 5 mins. Try googling the solution.

Looking forward to some more!

Halbs, they've just filled all the positions for next year :cry: Contracts are generally two years. Teacher's kids get a 40% discount but that may be negotiable. They love teaching couples as it means the only have to provide one house rather than two. Nice houses too... unfortunately they don't giv...

java kneelos road trip

It's always a risk looking for new spots when the swell of the year is on and sadly we got skunked over the last 5 days. Still, a great road trip through some beautiful terrain checking pretty much every bay over a 300km stretch of coastline. Final consensus, too much swell :roll: A few photos: Trip...

Sounds like this is a worldwide epic week of surf 8) Pre-empted the forecast swell today and took the day off to find the swell hadn't arrived yet :( Still, it was shoulder high and barreling it's nads off with the occasional spitter. Crowds were up a bit today, I had to take a friend as the wife ne...

All-time swell forecast to hit in the next few hours here and continuing relentlessly in to the middle of next week. Jakarta kneelos are back on the feral boat for 4 days and I'm stoked to be given the go ahead for a blitz on the local slabs... good days ahead for everyone in Indon :D :D :D Be caref...
