It's called Desert Rat and it stars Ry Craike so before pressing play you know exactly what you're gonna get: red dust, cavernous barrels, and expert tube wrangling.

Some great surfing going on, looks like spot x carpark has got a lot bigger as well as the crowd in the lineup over the last few surf vids, strange that?

You see that last lefthander in more and more clips now.
I know it's remote, hard to get to, hard to surf etc but it makes you wonder why you'd want to share a wave like that with the rest of the surfing world.
I sure as fuck wouldnt

That's the one gf, may need to pave the carpark before too long, short sighted

Same left from the 'Fish Out of Water' series that got a run on Foxtel a few years back and generally there would be no one about and they'd be the only crew.

When you can surf as good & go as hard as RC I suppose there's isn't such a thing as a crowded line-up, anywhere. Maybe that's why he's comfortable featuring in such clips at "sensative" locations. That & sponsorship $$. Nice way to make a living.

Pristine looking environment with a magical wave. Love to go there.....

Now password required ?
Give Craikey a spot at Teahupoo

Edit ; now no password needed and RY did the trails in 2007

Awesome surfer, so good in the barrel, loved those bottom turn top turn combos at the start too... like a hot knife through butter!

Terrific footage. Close call at 3:01 too. That sequence would be scary at normal speed.

Same old same old really, glad he's gone back to just exposing spots close to his home.
