The point was, we'd all seen the ski go by about 15 mins earlier, it came up from padang, and powered straight past Ulus at speed and disappeared past secrets heading towards the temple. WTF.

God knows what they did up there for 15 mins. I recall that I saw a crew getting ready to film up there really early. Maybe that was the original plan. Staying away from the paddlers.

But there were no paddlers, the only two out had shit beaten out of them by a mega set and retired. And the waves up there were probably too daunting to ride.

Whatever. The ski must have come up the backs of a huge set out of sight till it topped the biggest one. It just suddenly came into view, we barely had time to register what was happening when the rider sling shotted in, dropped the rope, and gave everyone a perspective of the real size of the wave.

That's it, I'm done now.

Ok, ok! Fcuk you guys. Can we lay this wetsuit controversy to rest?

He only caught one wave, he didnt have it on when he started, so he must have changed into it at some stage during the ride. He did disappear out of sight around the corner so it must have been there.

These russians eh! Just natural for them, big wave surfing is literally just a stroll down the catwalk.

Obviously this attention grabbing fashion advertising is going to be a big thing. Next it'll be casual wear and deck shoes. Is nothing sacrosanct any more?

I may be getting old, and I sometimes forget things, but I'm pretty sure I can still recognise the difference between ulus and ben buckler thanks no pants

Any reason the big wave crew that just hit Cloudbreak last month didnt show up to Indo for this? Not hyped enough?
ah a lot of guys went to Nias, they don't wanna surf Ulu Burgers

The size of this swell, they are probably a bit like "fcuk!" that crew would have made mince meat of Ulus yesterday.

whoa! hold that headline. bali times is now going to lead with 'plucky locals take on mushburghers in indonesian surfing backwater'

with a feature 'aged expat has beens and svelte russian fashionistas take on placid ripples'

my theory is; he actually got changed into the steamer while surfing this raging fat mushburger.

After immersing myself in all the footage of this swell and in a daze
I have come to the sad conclusion that what I have been doing for the last 35 years
Is NOT surfing

I know what you mean dude. Surfing, Real surfing, is on a whole other level,

This drone footage of one of the long rides at Ulu is pretty good.
An 80 second ride.

Pretty boring to be honest... just kinda outruns the pocket and surfs in the flats most the way.
