indosnm 0 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 How*s this! Here's a short promo vid a mate made. Mainly starring ma bro.. Crippled and on his feet. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 I've just been up north for 4 days with the Fam. I escaped those naaarsty westerlies. Scored some small fun waves at north Boomers and Treach. (koko will know these.) Friday morn in the carpark it was 6 deg. with a 15kt SWer blowing. The water was 17 deg. So Indo if you move over here mate, thats as bad as it gets. Still manage quite easily with a 2/3 steamer, no hood or boots. Nice vid. Some heavy spots there. Link to post Share on other sites

Me 17 (deep pits) Lakeys 3 (on the head, ground into the reef on the inside!) You did better at lakeys than me Indo. I can't remember getting too many barrels and I copped the worst flogging of my life (no , second worst). I got caught inside with a solid set looming over my head and about 20 inches of water to hide in. I managed to wedge myself in a crevis in the coral but the wave just plucked me off the reef like a starfish and rolled my across about 20 meters of coral. When I came up, both my board (brand new) was snapped in halve as well as my legrope. Hahaha good to see Im not the only one who has stood on the reef there and got a flogging. Lucky for all its just rock and not live coral ...... Yeah.... that story might have got a little embellished over the years. In fact most breaks in Indo are rock, or lava, aren't they? The only place I can remember surfing on true coral, or coral heads, is Naraloo Link to post Share on other sites

If I had've blown it up it would be more like 50 waves! I spent a long long time there and waves came to me flies to shiat! Did ya like a few of the big spits in tha flick? Gotta love that spot.

Mantas 3 Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 No. Crossed wires here. I was talking about my claim of being dragged along coral. Anyways, it all bloody hurts! What was that long barrelling right? Is that a local break for you? Link to post Share on other sites

Mantas 3 Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Hey Spook. I thiunk I'd rather have 'Mentawai surf guide' as my ocupation than just about anything else. The lefts were at a place called No Can Doos. is that near you Spook? There's no end in sight to this flat spell here. At least I'm getting some work done. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 How have the waves been spook? ps. Put that occupation on your Immigration form in Oz and you'll be inviting them to slap on the rubber gloves! (I'm serious) Link to post Share on other sites
kokodoko 67 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 go baldy! Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Nokandui is near us (about 20min by speedboat). it gets faster and thicker as it goes down the line. All the lefts here don't have much margin for error and not much of an escape route - you just gotta make em! Link to post Share on other sites
kokodoko 67 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 swell is still flat here.. that is almost a week of one footers.. not happy, jan. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 It's comming up on Tuesday Koko. We will get 6-8 foot but also some filthy onshore wind with it. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I had my first good session for the season last weekend. Riding almost all day long but gave way to the pros in the afternoon swell. I think I ve broken one of my toes... Link to post Share on other sites
