I've been booked since 2019 and just maybe, maybe 2022 I return to Macca's.

He's like that rich cousin isn't he?
The one who goes to Europe on school holidays when you go camping down the coast, or gets a new board just coz he asked for one, or gets the most expensive bike for xmas that you can buy...
Then rings you to tell you all about it. :-)
That really annoying carnt.
But jeez he scores some fucking good waves!

Perfect! Ha ha
GuySmileyMonday, 30 Aug 2021 at 5:15pm
yep
simbaSunday, 29 Aug 2021 at 1:39pm
hes lucky he can surf well otherwise he'd be stacking shelves at aldi....na im jealous, lucky prick he is.
crgSunday, 29 Aug 2021 at 1:50pm
He’s a polarising prick isn’t he. You kind of think he’s such a wanker and he’s a bees dick away from getting a punch in the head, then you also have to admit to yourself an element of jealousy as he’s getting soooo many waves.
But I’m still on the he’s a fuckwit side of the fence.

Haha.
Well said crg

We need someone to hate in these difficult times. He's on my list.
Island BaySunday, 29 Aug 2021 at 4:58pm
I know I'll get shit for this: Most overrated wave in the Ments.
And heck yes, I'd wring his neck in a second.
indo-dreamingSunday, 29 Aug 2021 at 5:32pm
I agree with you, it's a quality wave and a fun wave that pretty much anyone can surf, but kind of overrated and many other waves in Indo and Mentawai's in comparison are kind of underrated.
I think it's real drawcard is its consistency, it's super consistent, it gets a decent amount of swell, surfable from knee high to biggest swells of the year, doesn't change all that much with the tide, direction doesn't change it too much and it still breaks pretty good in a light onshore or cross shore SE that is the most predominant wind.
Also its downfall is it's wave pool type quality of breaking in the same spot every time means its pretty much wait in line and most waves are made, unlike say Telescopes where you can sit in different positions, catch wider ones, or ones guys dont make or inside ones etc
IMHO Nias is also overated, yeah its perfect but its short.
Id personally rather go surf lesser known waves some of which can get just as good on there day, but sadly those type of waves that were once empty are now getting busy too.
rj-daveyMonday, 30 Aug 2021 at 4:55pm
haha yeah sounds terrible!
GuySmileyMonday, 30 Aug 2021 at 5:18pm
ya busting my balls info anything remotely as good as that right now would be a sheer delight
Island BaySunday, 29 Aug 2021 at 5:31pm
All good points, Indo.
We had three days at Macaronis, incl one where we were the only boat/people there.
It was fun, absolutely. Not being precious about it. Just had more excitement and just fun elsewhere
cycdSunday, 29 Aug 2021 at 6:00pm
That was a nug at 6:32
SolitudeSunday, 29 Aug 2021 at 6:31pm
Bet he doesn’t travel with many Aussies or kiwis. They’d knock that arrogant MTV presenter style commentary on its head quick smart.
BenjchMonday, 30 Aug 2021 at 9:54am
Any ideas on the make of that catamaran?

I found this email on Greig's insta page. I meet him when he was managing Wavepark in the Playgrounds area. He was a really good guy.

If NvR wasn't such a rabid self-promoter he'd be far more enjoyable/bearable to watch
Bob SacamanoMonday, 30 Aug 2021 at 12:29pm
Even more unbearable is the fact our clicks and views are probably funding his next trip which will rub more salt in our wounds and increase the vitriol we direct his way due to our jealousy. Bastard.
dabootsMonday, 30 Aug 2021 at 12:16pm
Don't hate the player, hate the game. He's probably a very different persona off camera. The kid is just playing the Youtube game...
And I think he actually nails it: the "real surfers" will still watch it because he actually charges, the wave quality is top, video production is great with multiple angles, etc. And then the "not so real surfers" probably also tag along also for his enthusiasm and energy... It's not too different to the Koa Smith and JOB video vibes... OR if you want to feel more at home the Steve Irwin vibes!!
memlasurfMonday, 30 Aug 2021 at 3:01pm
Wonder what he earns in Euros per year to fund all this fun? Man can surf but.
HoodieMonday, 30 Aug 2021 at 5:34pm
Captain Greig is a ripper bloke. Softly spoken South African and an awesome photographer. I meet him when he worked at Wavepark for Christie Carter.
I'm a bit old for the Ments these days but if you get on his boat I reckon you'll be looked after.
LiplaunchedMonday, 30 Aug 2021 at 5:52pm
I just mute and scroll to waves
a lot quicker and more pleasant
Listened once before and just gibberish shit coming out of his mouth
Same thing with JOB clips
Yep they are playing the youtube game
So am i
dean maddisonMonday, 30 Aug 2021 at 6:00pm
