Re: What would you do if you had 4 months in Indo?

I know this might sound like sacrilege but if I had 4 months I wouldn't surf the entire time. I'd take at least a month off to do other things in Indo. Kalimantan, Dive in Sulawesi, go through Sumatra (Medan, Padang). Indo is more than just surfing, I think you'd get a better experience out of it if...

One of the Slater boards with the 5 carbon fibre stringers from the 90's. Or, a bit left field I know, Kalani's "Special K" board. I remember seeing him do an air reverse on one of those in a video that was just mind blowing. It was like something no one had ever done before. Mark Foo's last board.....

Kerrsy came out and stirred the pot before he was on tour, saying he was going to blaze.

Got smoked.

Went off the tour.

The place is awesome... Safi, Agadir, Essaouira. I went on a hike through the atlas mountains which was extraordinary. Only 3 of us, 2 guides and a donkey. Stayed in local houses every night. Organised it through a hotel in Marakesh but can't remember the name sorry. Ferries were good, Tangier is a ...

BODHIDONTSURF Good point, I reckon deep down most guys on tour would not want to win unless it was with Slater in the race. Having said that Occ , in my eyes at least, is every bit the world champ he was and whether KS was in the race or not he deserves it. What gets me about KS is that he would hav...

Personally, I don't think Sunny, Occy or CJ (despite the shortened season) would have won world titles in their respective years if Slater was on the tour.
Andy is the only person ever that has consistently beaten and rattled him.

Indonesia Expedition Advice

Hey all, Thinking about doing quite an extensive Indonesia trip around December. I know the swell isn't the best then but it is really the only time I can do it. Considering going for between 1-2 months and attempting to do everything, from West Sumatra, to the orangutans in Kalimantan, to Lombok an...

Can't believe pridmore just called Ry Craike a new generation power surfer. The guy's had 10 million video parts in the past 5 years and probably done 5 turns in all of them.
All five would have been on his forehand. I don't even know if he has a backhand?

And it looks like we are trying to spend another million or so on another ball running forward in Anthony Tupou. I think part of the problem at the club lies in recruitment. Lost a hooker (Monnas) and a 5-8 (Burns) over the last year, and we have bought two centres (Lyon and Vaeleki). And we are abo...

either of them have them work ethic of Mick, Taj or Jimmy
Ummm, I'm going to throw it out there that Andy has more 'work ethic' than Taj. Taj should have been competing for /at least winning a world title since about 1999.

Some very outrageous footage of all sorts of things on their website. They are a group of people do wonderful work trying to save wildlife.

Surfphotog, i'm glad you are outraged; you are one more person aware of their cause.
