Compare the feeling you get when you gaze into one of those Indo gems with the feeling you get when you click to the next shot and are confronted with a weak windswell limping its way towards Queenscliff, soon to become the 4012th consecutive knee-high close-out to break in the last week.

Bring on Indo.

:idea: scroll backwards?? :idea:
hahaha you know that the thought NEVER occurred to me! its cr@p being blonde sometimes. tell you what though, this near flatness is getting to me, it would be nice to have excessive wads of cash so i could just scoot over to Bali for a few days...no... months surfing

I'd rather see pics of Jnr pro @ nth narra or the comp coming up @ Phillip Isl etc or shots from Margaret River than Bali, Bali, Bali.
Does RealSurf get financial benefits from posting them (picadvertorial without the comments)?

And every day in Bali is good somewhere - bit dodgy. When I last visited Bali it was flat for the whole week.

How about more photos of other Australian locations?

There's something like 15 breaks out on the bukit half of which are going to be offshore on most days. I like looking at some of the spots I haven't surfed or have only seen fairly small.
If you get sick of looking at quality surf you can walk down to DeeWhy when its 1ft and onshore and experience reality head on :D
If you want australian quality go look for it, shoot it and post it. Then get ready for the complaints. :?

Your'e right about DY being onshore crap.Has been for what seems to be an eternity........ but the crowds won't go away.

Endless perfect Bali photos make me depressed.
