Next stop, Thunders.

We headed to the swell magnet, half way across the world, and who do we see? A few guys from across the street in Bronte. Including Haysey, my neighbor, tearing down the line in between bintangs. The swell has backed off over the past two days, the wind has picked up and I've earned three stitches in my hoof. So, today we replenished our supplies in a tiny village where the locals were friendly, the dogs hairless and the heat relentless. Lathered in sweat we soon retreated to the comfort of the Southern Cross.

There's rumour of a new swell so we've decided to steam back across to one of the world's best rights, HTs. And if all goes to plan, the boys will be getting barreled at first light while I'm Resting, Icing, Compressing and Elevating (camera in hand).

I'll be back with you next week bringing you more from the Southern Cross in the Mentawai Islands. Have a great weekend – Brad
