This is my final report coming at you from the Playgrounds in the Mentawais.
What a trip! The boys have been frothing hard and surfing from sunrise to sunset. Derek Recio takes the prize of 'Ultimate Frother' for the most surfs and the most waves. Derek flying across the face, on his 5/6'' flying saucer fish, has become a common sight. The other kind of fish were less common. In fact, the only fish that made it on board was a flying fish that kooked its landing and touched down on our boat, (below edible size, sadly).
Our last surf of the trip was a super fun session at 4 Bobs, named after Robert De Castella who got four barrels here on his first wave. It's a rolling right that comes out of deep water and then bends down a shallow reef. The boys, Day 12, were tired but all surfing well as we head back for an overnight crossing to Padang.
A big thanks to all the crew at Sumatran Surfaris and our sturdy ship the Southern Cross. We've all had such an amazing trip and it was just what a bunch of Eastern Suburbs wave-starved frothers needed.
With the great help from TC Communications I am so stoked that I could keep you all up to date with our Boy's Froth Trip away to the Mentawai Islands, in Indonesia, via satellite.
See ya's all in the hood on Friday – What's the surf like anyway?
Cheers Brad 😉
