June 1 1988 Sydney Airport international departures: That'd be right, trust him to stuff the whole thing up, I thought to myself. I had been waiting for eight months for this day and he doesn't show up on time. He was my mate Mark and we were heading to Indo for our first big surf trip. Destination Lagundri Bay Nias.

Terrys G-Land Journey
It took three attempts before making it through the 3ft breakers just after leaving behind the fish flavoured air of Grajagan village in our boat, headed for 'THE' left. We knew from trusty reports we'd be hitting swell when we arrived at our temporary jungle home.

We had a couple of days to … [Read more...]

Apart from reading about incidents and actual happenings I didn't know what the real situation was like. I had not heard from one person or even knew of one person that had been staying on land and not lazing about … [Read more...]
Boys on tour, Lembongan, Lombok, and Sumbawa. April 2000
Kim Berry A collection of 4 Aussies and a Kiwi got together at short notice to sample some of the waves on offer in the Lombok / Sumbawa area, living aboard the traditional style 60 foot boat Ria Wisata. Being towards the end of the wet season we knew that the waves weren't going to be huge, but we hoped we would be treated to some quality waves in the 3-6 foot range- and … [Read more...]
