Which fork in the road did you take ?
thanks for that finback, a good little read that answered a few little mysteries for me
I liked how a cold shitty surf at dribbleton can drive a man to do almost anything to stay near the warm nice waves of Indonesia...I can relate to that
i went straight...buddha says take the middle road
and I'm not lucky enough for those other much more exciting roads
seriously in this age of plague like piracy and rampant digital duplication how can this sea of darkness thing be so hard to aquire?
anyone seen SEA OF DARKNESS? Check the interview with the director, Michael Oblowitz, in the August Surfing World...interesting stuff. John Milius, director of Big Wednesday and Conan, and writer of Apocalypse Now and THAT scene, and long-time surfer, was trying to make a feature-length 'fictional' version at one stage!
Word is that McCabe is less than happy with that journalist ????
Can someone give Pete the contact for a pro bono Barrister asap.

Yeah, classic reading that hey, Middleton the bane of many a surfer, but also fun as shit when on.
Middleton's definitely been cold lately,with both lefts and rights and fun in a good wetty. I haven't had a winter bail out this year and the last part of July was effing freezing, 2 weeks till Spring.

There's a copy at Bobby's at G Land if you need another reason to go there.
I'm surprised you can't get a copy in Kuta, I'd have figured those DVD sellers would have picked it up by now.
I have a couple of older mates that were hanging around indo around that era and there take on Lopez, McCabe, Boyum and their group was that they were not very nice people, basically a drug syndicate.
thanks udo, blowin, crust
I should be in bali in a coupke of weeks I will try and track one down, if unsuccessful I'll grovel to mr. crust, surprised no one has put a copy on you tube etc. not that I've checked. must be some secret bro code keeping everyone in check
No need to grovel mate, just spell me name right:-)

The Newcastle Herald has published its second article on Peter over the weekend. A previous Forum topic on the book Thai Sticks and the withdrawn from circulation SOD (Sea of Darkness DVD) generated a lot of discussion re travelling surfers in the 60's, 70's and 80's
As Peter states "I did it, I got caught, I did my time"
When I reflect on my travels in the 70's, when it came to make a choice in the fork in the road, "I went right and not left"
We all probably know mates who went left once but then continued to go right and some who went left, left, left!
I believe Kelly Slater has purchased the film / doco rights to Thai Sticks. Should be a good movie / doco like SOD
