Early Season Balinese Perfection

During the Easter weekend, as every surfable coastline in Australia was hit by swell, Indonesia received its first significant swell of the season. Bali-based photographer, Mick Curley, spent two days driving around his island home shooting the waves from huge Outside Corner (that's Jim Banks in the first shot) to perfect Padang Padang and all the usual suspects on the Bukit. Mick also shot a few lesser known rights during the swell. We'll leave you to guess where they are.

Indo Odyssey: Stage 10 - Mentawai Islands

not only did we scored hundreds of barrels, but we also surfed numerous days by oursleves, without any boat or fancy resort in sight! It takes a little bit of strategy and knowledge of the place to escape the crowds in the Mentawai. We scored perfect head to head high plus barrels to ourselves for three days straight. No other boats around, nobody in the water exept us...sunny weather, crystal clear water, and A+ barrels for us only! Some of our guests caught the barrel of their lives so we're definitely heading back to the Mentawai next season! In the meantime, enjoy the photos from our trip of last year. See you around!

Indo Odyssey: Stage Seven, West Java

Jeez, it makes you question the path you've chosen doesn't it? Makes you question the path that leads you to the office day in, day out, hopping on public transport, reading the gossip in MX and the regurgitated news in the Terrorgraph.
