Surfing

The world of surfing, as seen through somewhat jaundiced eyes. Although, the love of the ocean has now come through my son and daughter, so some good times to come in the immediate future. Journalist, editor, publisher. Was funny once, can’t steal my vibe

Lakey Peak, Sumbawa. Place took a fierce hit over COVID and locals were left to fend for themselves. Some people left, some of the accommodation shut down, while others thrived. We stayed at Vivianes and ate at Fatmas. So we were sorted. It’s a long haul to get there but well worth it #lakeypeak

Quite exciting for a 14-year-old to arrive at Uluwatu in Bali for the first time, experience the thrill of a foreign culture, the agony and ecstasy of lost and found luggage (boards) and then the fear and excitement of bombing Racetracks in boardies. We had a pretty good trip, we did. #surfordie

It was quite a thing to get my 11-year-old daughter down the stairs and through the Cave and outside to Racetracks. Then to help her get a few waves from the madding crowd. She did exceptionally well, she did. I was strung out, and needed a beer afterwards. It was before 8 am but don’t judge me

Took a little while to get there, but once through Bima and eventually at Huu we could surf our days away. My 14-year-old travel partner, screw-foot son wasted no time in getting out there to hit the lefts #lakeypeak #sumbawa #surfindonesia

Two weeks sans surfing. A quick visit to the dermatologist ended up
In a little trip to the op theatre. 64 sutures there and my world is now pain, painkillers and the subsequent less pain. Should get back in the water by 20 December, sigh…

Time for a return trip to the Nias area. It gets pretty crowded these days but the occasional runner slips through with no takers. Hard to get there these days, but daily flights and overnight ferries are still operating. The ferry ride is challenging

Lakey Peak, Lakey Pipe and the local environment. A lot has changed at Lakeys, and it’s not all for the good. But the waves are still fun…

This is what the pick-up to G-Land looks like in 2023.

While at @surfingdoctors conference at Jawa Jiwa in G-Land, this went down. Head injury and breakfast time clash

Ya we had some big waves in the hood. This was the day that an outside set sent me to hospital. Long story, I was fine, ask me one day over a beer. Photo by @gumboot.camera

That time we went to Ulus this year and discovered that it wasn’t nearly as crowded and nasty as everyone had told us
