west pass, palau

valentines day with my first love. this day has to go down in the top five surfs ever for me. head and a half and just bruno and I in the water. This place is pretty unreal and there are very very few local surfers and even less traveling ones. The water and coral at the pass is probably the most beautiful I have ever seen. we surfed for 7 hours strait. no joke. i got out of the water once for 10 minutes to reapply.


Maori Enforcer


Reni from Switzerland has been our local tour guide. he has been in palau for 6 months and he one cool cat.


These pics are from the 10 minutes I got out of the water so they dont really to the place justice. The waves were really really good.




This inside section was intense. 6 foot spitters breaking on waist deep reef. get caught inside and it flushed you way down channel. bruno got pretty cut up. he also got two barrels.


all by our lonesome.


What is actually looked like


Okay. not joking. i surfed the best i have ever surfed if my life this day. I was nailing everything. Here is turn #74 in the pocket.


I am still pinching myself.

Bali II

Sorry there arn't more surf pics. its so hard getting them especially when my camera didn't fit in my motorbike. places we surfed included: Bingin, Uluwatu, Seaweed Patch, Nusa Dua, Mushrooms, Serangan, Hyatt Reef, Keramas, Cangu. Just the memories in my head of the good waves I had. Bali out. Hati Hati!!!


Asia will make you hate commercial fishing. I do.


Our scooters. notice the surf racks.


Indonesian 500!!! green!!! go!!!!


Todd at the warwung. mmmm. tasty nasi champur and nasi goreng.


These hindu offerings were everywhere.


This was a epic little place on Nusa Panida. I wanted to swim so bad.








Nusa Lombongan with a bali volcano in the background. There 10 volcanos on Bali.


bridge, Nusa Lombongan


I thought of a coffee table book if I ever go back to bali. It would simply be photos of the hilarious thing people put on the back of motorbikes.






Downstream of some waterfall.


The guys bought little guns that shoot rubber balls. We had wars on the boat for a few days. T Pain looking hard.


Christmas in the crew mess. Really really not a good Christmas.


Christmas day surf. The day got better.
