Surfing Pics

I spent the past year traveling, a few months in Mexico, a few in Australia, New Zealand and nearly 2 months in Indonesia where I ended my trip. The primary purpose of the trip was to surf, everyday, for a year. There isn't much photographic evidence that I did such a trip and surfed as much as I did. However, I was fortunate enough to bring these snaps home to show my friends and family that I was really surfing on my trip....

Small, sunset surf at Lakey Pipe, Sumbawa. Taken ealry August when I was there for two weeks, by Erik Aeder.


Another small day at Lakey Pipe, great conditions , another gorgeous day. Photo also taken by Erik. Lakey Pipe, photo by Erik.


After Sumbawa I flew back to Bali and spent a few days at Uluwatu. I didn't surf the first day there, mostly because I wasn't that keen on surfing with a 150 people.
The next day was small and I got out and got some good waves, despite the crowds. I ran into the fisrt kneeboard surfer of my trip, a guy who I actually met while surfing in Margaret River WA in may.
The next day the surf was a bit bigger, conditions were great and I actually ran into 4 other kneeboard surfers, three from USA and one from Aussie. We had a great surf in the morning and getnerall just had a really fun day.
It was the perfect ending to the perfect trip.
I caught one of my best waves of the year and had an awesome surf at an epic spot on my new Flashpoint.
