All swell that ends whale

Thanks peeps for turning out! Paipopolis 2013 came and went. We lucked out with nice waves first thing in the morning and breaching humback whales at the end of the day. There was tons of gear to share with lots of paipos, bellyboards, handplanes, mats and a quiver of boards to try.It’s like having your very own massive collection of planing surfaces at the beach WITH a bunch of friends new and old around. Can there really be anything better when some nice little waves show up? And even when they don’t the paipos/bellyboards shall abide.

sharing is caring y’all...

In a stroke of good fortune, I got booked late October on a last minute shoot in Sumatra to shoot orangutans for a wildlife conservation project. The producer and I got on great, so much that after the shoot he offered me his place to stay in Bali while he was away. Needless to say, I didn't need to be asked twice!

I got in some surfing at Kuta and Canggu and took my HD camera down to the Bukit Peninsula to shoot when a bigger swell came in earlier this week. Here's a few teaser images until I get the video edited:

Keramas.

Uluwatu. A heavy place, especially with anything overhead.

Stay tuned!

AWESOME GOPRO BODYBOARDING VID!

Interesting.

I heart fins, on my feet and on boards. This fin system for dropknee looks pretty cool. Too bad I suck at it:
