Nias one more time - video
It's an age thing. In your teenage years the idea of a spontaneous surf trip means a south coast mission, but with a steady job and disposable income the more mature among us can roam further afield when the impulse hits. Put Cloudbreak on the list, or P'Pass, or even Nias, way up there in the northern reaches of the Indo archipelago.
It's what Matt Tibbey did when a late season swell bore down on the small offshore island. After a few days of Lagundri Bay gluttony Matt rode back into town brimming with memories. Here's the best from his memory card.

Have to feel for the bloke at 1:08, Mr. Vogue totally smoked him.
Apart from that, cool clip. Looks like they scored big time.
Yeah I bet he's glad old mate used his disposable income to travel all that way and cross paths with him at that exact moment.
I can remember my first trip to bali and scoring good padang and thinking things couldn't be any better,until at the airport I couldn't help but ask a travel weary couple, way under the radar where they were from and his chick just whispered nias.
Zen, it's never quite clear who smoked whom from watching a clip mate. The usual suspects - Zillos and Zurich river surfers - just don't have any etiquette of waiting their turn. Blatant paddling straight to the inside and sending down shanders on the wave of one's life (after an hour waiting) is incredibly frustrating for even the most chilled fellas.
Ideally, The Point needs some serious regulating or at very least, some educational moments to re organise the lineup. (Where's Skello when you need him!) I'm pretty confident business in Saroke would improve the day when brazzos are simply banned from the Bay.
So true Rusty.
At least most Brazillions can surf as well as they hassle though, unlike most Euros.
Skello ?
Ginger / Blonde hair , raspy voice , Bingin Boardriders - is that the fella ?
Yep that's Skello. He's a great guy to have on your team in a hectic lineup. Sorts em out good and proper!
True Rusty, I don't know the circumstances that lead up to it. Could be any number of scenarios but on face value, that's a burnin' and imo detracts from an otherwise cool vid.
Pretty sure the guy getting burnt is webby from Webster surfboards.

*edit
Don't bother checking his Insta, the earlier post has been taken down
What did he have to say goofy?
Fair drop in wonder if there was a lot of snaking by the bloke on the receiving end or if the surfer on film just doesn't give a fuck.
Probably the best looking lineup in Indo. So picturesque. Great vid..
