so we were pretty keen to get out of bali for a few days and try our luck on another island, so we grabbed a few boards and jumped on a plane. we scored some pretty fun waves at certain peak that im pretty sure most people will know of. shit the wind kind of killed us though, i swear every morning about 8am it would come in howling like west oz in summertime. it was still a fun trip though and we got way better waves than if we stayed in bali so it was definately worth it. i got another 4 days hanging in bali now and then its back home to try score some waves

so bali has been fun. the waves have been pretty small and crowded but we have managed to surf some cool little mysto spots thanks to a few of the local lads pointing us in the right direction. looks like some swell on the way for the next coupla days so we are taking a short plane ride tomorrow to hopefully score at an outer island not to far from bali. as for the padang padang contest, it is still on hold and doesnt look like any swells coming that will get the joint pumping before the waiting period runs out at the of the month, word on the street though is they might extend the waiting period  for another 2 weeks. check out this little clip  from the last 4 days in bali which you can also view on coastalwatch.com, we have  another 2 or 3 clips planned which we will be posting up every monday on coastalwatch and rycraike.com for the next couple of weeks. enjoy:)

just had a pretty crazy 5 days out at these islands off west oz on my dads boat. we got fun waves for  a couple of days and then got stuck out there for 3 days of one of the gnarliest storms west oz has seen this year, it was a sick adventure though and we had a good crew and got some pretty classic footage. it feels pretty good to be back on dry land now though. im off to bali on monday for a couple of weeks to surf in the ripcurl padang padang contest and to cruise and get some waves, should be fun. anyways check out the little clip above from my gnarloo trip the other week
peace

it ended up been huge!!! the saturday we got there it was probs the biggest i have seen it, almost to big and missing the reef but we all still managed to scrape into the odd one and a few crew got pretty injured one guy lost half his face. we ended up staying for the next swell and scored gnarloo 8 foot and pumping a few days later as well as some fun sessions at some other waves. we are just putting together a cool clip from the trip now and should have it up this week. i went to yamba for a week straight after with the electric crew and scored some fun beahies , it was a good contrast to the pumping pits we scored up north
yeeeeeeeeew

wats going on everyone? sorry its been a while since the last update but i just spent a month in indo. we had a ball up there! i was at the telo islands for 10 days and got some pretty fun waves nothing big but rippable stuff and then went to g land for 10 days with all the quiky boys. we scored it 8 foot one day and it was pretty crazy we had choppers and crazy cameras everywhere so it was sick to be a part of. ive been home for a bout a week now gathering some final clips for my innersection part we are putting together for its next round which starts at the end of this month, so make sure you vote for me ha ha. anyway check out the little clip below from some fun little beachies we had close to home
