Bulan Baru - video
"Mikala Jones, Marlon Gerber, Tai Graham and Desert Point future star Awan Hadi could have aimed for the usual sure bets when the Indian Ocean came alive during a big swell, but with such a massive population of surfers hungry to see some juice they knew crowds would be at worst-ever levels.
Instead, they caught ferries to far-flung islands, the only way to get a jetski to the extremities in a hurry. After a few sleepless nights they finally had their dream set-up in place, and set off on a high-risk, high-reward kind of deal.
The wave you see in the film is not new, it's been watched for hours and mainly left alone. Does it have a name? No. Has it been surfed? Kind of, just not in any state that resembled that in which the team tackled it."

Nice vid, cool tracks, tight editing, no real overt product placement and I have no idea where this is.
Mission accomplished.
It's very easy to tell where it is if you've been near it and its defeintely NOT a secret spot. Been surfed like that plenty of times though maybe not filmed. Youd figure that if they wanted to put people off the scent they wouldnt use wide shots.
Whats with the voice overs ? Scripted ? Shut up and surf.
so...no waves actually made?. its a closeout by the looks.
Got to admire the boys' adventurous spirits and courage, but as Elliedog mentioned - only one section of the wave was surfed, then closed out. Also took half the video to start showing the wave being surfed. However, with comments like these, the boys will be happy knowing there won't be a rush of dudes heading over there. Still a refreshing bit of footage to watch, thanks.
It looks like a similar wave in the area. Im guessing 'big brother'
