PNG Exploring

Rounding out a year that saw his frequent flyer points travel sky high, Sydney photographer, Joel Coleman from Saltmotion, boarded the boat PNG Explorer for a bit of exploring...in PNG. The trip was put together with the help of The Perfect Wave travel company and they surfed around the New Ireland region off the north coast of Papua. The photographs tell the story of the waves the crew scored.

On Saturday morning a small crew of Sydney surfers, including Hayden Cox, his mate James, yours truly, and a fella who's name I didn't catch (sorry mate), had a session at an offshore bombora in Hawaiian-style surf.

After four days of driving onshores the wind went west at 9PM the night before, the switch catching many surfers unawares. Dawn saw a nor-wester blowing clean powerful 12 foot waves. With a shifting takeoff and ragged seas cleanup sets were the order of the day - everyone took a licking at some stage. There were also a handful of incredible rides.
