oct 2 2005 day after the second bali bombing....a south american guy was sitting in the channel in a small inflatable...paddling back out he handed me a plastic business card and said call me tonight ...I think I got a few good ones...pay the dough you will appreciate it in years to come.
Ted Grambeau took this one, popped up in front of me and all i saw was a flash...when i paddled back out i said you better be carefull doin that and he said don't worry you'll never hit me this is what i do...cheeky bugger

nice shot arkgee ..that's one hell of a shooter! looks over 8 feet !you shape it yourself?
Posted these over on the dark side a year or two ago. As one of the non surfing SUP riding clowns you guys are always bitching about, thought I'd throw em out there and join the herd.
Taken at my favorite haunt of the last thirty six years, just down the road and round the corner.

this wave is not very long ("2 turns and a cutback "or "one" if you are over 40)but pretty consistent and within paddling distance of where you can stay
(old faithfull 6'4 epoxy which refuses to die)
Last august in Lombok. Great spot, no crowds(well maybe a few euros every now and then) Waves ranging from shoulder height(video)to double o/head on the inside break then big solid stuff on the outside break. Too heavy for this 54yo at the time. that wave was a tiddler, had to wait for the sets every 20-30mins. First ever film or photo of myself in 30 plus yrs of surfing.
This thread rocks....well done to the punter who started it (ha ha) keep the pics coming guys. Always stoked to see some homegrown pics of real surfers. Bakesy, you got any more of yr secret spot?
no not really Swalko, I've posted the good ones and considering the quality of the pics in this thread I'll wait to the next decent swell to add any more
