The Indonesian XXL swell is on the wane but the online forerunners are now being felt. First the Uluwatu tow crew, now this 27 second shockwave from Lagundri Bay.

That's Lucas Silveira falling into the shadows. Only got a handful of waves all day, said Lucas, mostly blown drops, busted two boards, but rode this one all the way down the corridor.

The gun's got things properly under control. Standing and stylin through em. 1.10 mark Gets things going.

Still, its Nias. Saw and surfed with the legendary Nias gun over our way once. Big rap. There were some huge swells there years ago. They did a few mags on them and him. A yank. Drops ya reckon? How hard do you want them? You won't have to wait years, for some freak swell. Soon found out, it aint fuckin' Nias.

I have no idea what or where this conversation is going or what it is about. Why do Crypto and blue basher speak in riddles? English is difficult enough without completely bastardising (is that even a word?) it.

You can't understand what he says in person either. A lot of mumbling.
