Canggu 6th June 08 Once again I headed straight up to Canggu as there was only light to no wind and the swell has continued to drop. On arrival the tide was still a little low but there was already a strong crew of surfers on all peaks. As the tide pushed in conditions improved and the show began. The waves were in the knee to head high range. There was sometimes a slightly … [Read more...]

Canggu 5th June 08 Well what a relief for me, I got my bike back late yesterday afternoon. My bike has been at the mechanics all this time. It took 3 days instead of the couple of hours that I had initially expected. But its all good and we are back on track again this morning. I checked the outer reefs around 6:15am and could see that the swell has taken another little drop … [Read more...]

Checking the outer reefs this morning at 6:30am revealed the swell has taken a back step unfortunalty for today. So I headed up to Padma St to see if there was any action on the higher tide which I thought was around 7-8am. There was around 25+ surfers already in the water when I got there at 7am. Waves were in the 1-2ft range, nothing flash but it can't be going off everyday I … [Read more...]

Canggu 19th May 08 Last night the rain was coming down and it was keeping me awake. I don't know how many times I actually woke up but by 5:30am I was ready to get up. I was headed down the beach and it started to rain again, so I put things on hold for half an hour. I had a mate getting on the GLand express and I wonted to catch him before he went as he had left some stuff at … [Read more...]

Today I was down at the outer reefs checking conditions at 6am. Things were looking good so I packed the bike with gear and headed up to Canggu. When I got there there was already a group of around 15 on the river mouth so set up on the spot. Jake Patterson was out early and I saw him get a few nice ones. There crew grew to about 25 while I was there. Conditions were clean off … [Read more...]

Today I went to check the surf around 6:45am and saw that the swell was definelty on the increase. I hooked up with a surfing friend of mine and as he was headed to Keramas I went along for the ride. Conditions were clean but the tide was still a little low. Within half an hour though it had started to push and the waves started to come in. Waves were coming through in the … [Read more...]

Somewhere in Sydney: by Troy I had this to myself for about 45 minutes, the rest of the time with just 2or 3 other guys. … [Read more...]

Today when I did my check on the outer reefs I was a little disappointed with the amount of swell that has dropped off the radar. There was very little breaking at 6am, and what was coming through would have been in the knee high range. There may have been a little increase as the tide pushed but you would have to have timed it just right as I think the tide would have flattend … [Read more...]

Today I jumped on the bike and headed up to Keramas to see the Indonesion Pro Surfing Championship Tour (ISC) that was being held up there. The action was hot and the surfing awesome. These guys know these waves better than anyone else and they were ripping. I arrived on the scene around 8am to find the waves just perfect glass and coming in at the solid 4ft+ range by my scale. … [Read more...]
