G'day – all the way from the pumping waves of the Mentawai islands. I am away on a well earned break with 7 of my best mates. These days it's so hard to get together regularly so there's no better way to do it other than a surf trip right!
It's hot up here. There is no escape. Even the water temp up in these parts is on average at 28 degrees. Jumping in for a wave is by no means refreshing. We booked our trip with SUMATRAN SURFARIS and The Southern Cross is our floating home for the next 12 nights. Part bucks trip, part reunion and all parts a surf trip. 8 Froth Monsters united, albeit briefly for an adventure. Day 1 HT's delivered. Both barrels and beatings for two days straight in the 3 – 6 ft range. The razor sharp magnet that is the surgeon's table scratched a few arms, asses and egos. Ouch!
We will be heading south tonight hopefully in search of a few waves at Macaroni's. A wave I've never surfed but hoping to tick off the list on this trip.
Thanks to the great team at TC Communications for helping me get this update off the ground here on the boat in the remote Mentawai Islands and all the way home via satellite.
Hope your getting waves back home! – Brad
