yep, flat rock..

 

it was the best wave around today..

 

p.s. i saw a whale breaching off bar beach today..

I was driving past and looked out to sea and this whale breaches about 4-500 metres off shore..

 

I went up to the headland off Mary Gilmore but they did not breach again, just come up to the surface and blow a little bit. I saw about 3 i reckon..

Have been spending a lot of time in Indo, with a trip to the Mentawais last month - what a great trip. One day under 4 ft and one day 8-10ft which was a Bintang day for me. Being there early in the season was a bonus as surfed 9 of the 12 days by ourselves......if you get the chance get there....

wave Hey, PP, weren't you working in Java or something?

 

How early in the season were you in the Mentawais?

 

I had a 'surf ' today. It took me 40 mins. to get out the back and I caught only one wave.

Went in a christian surfers gut sliding comp on saturday with my brother for a few laughs(with a few of our mates from back in the days). 4-5ft slabs of death.. was fun and made it to the quarters.. Not bad for not touching the lid for almost a decade! Was the only place surfable due to the conditions, but still digging the sand out of my cavities!

Hi Guys, we were the second trip of the year being early April, weather was awesome and a great trip. Here's a typical day, this right was 350-400m long..well worth the paddle and just our boat there.....

Did a job in Java for a mining company early last year but couldnt subscribe to their approach so ended up bailing and moving to Bali for 3 months ........yeah that was tough LOL.

 

Now working for the EPCM team working with BHP Iron Ore on their expansion projects, no more trips to Indo this year, already had 3, but my trip in Jan should make up for that smile

 

Here's a pic of one of the floats from Nyepi Day in March whilst there for my birthday, which is similar to New Years Day. The night before they have a great parade and ceremony with awesome floats like this
