IslandBay. Hi mate. Loving your updates.
Supa and I got to Lances Right at 12.00 today, lunch and straight into the juice, clean, hardly a puff of wind, 4-5ft odd bigger one, nice little introduction, water and air temperature is very warm compared to Lembongan. All the best AW&SF.

How’s the crowd AW? Still feel like Lances is a box I need to tick…only surfed it as a pit stop crumbly 4ft hoping the wind would switch, never did.

Totally wrecked myself yesty morning LD. Adrenal gland a dried up husk, arms sore from swimming, legs sore from running. So out of sorts I worried I was getting the lurgy. Slept 12 hrs, woke fresh, surfed a few hours mid-norning today with bugger all punters around and heading out again now.

stunet Tuesday, 22 Jul 2025 at 05:58 pm

I'll be walking past Bobby's in halfa if you're keen Moonah.

basesix Tuesday, 22 Jul 2025 at 06:07 pm

I've suggested to friends way shinier than me, ones that do yoga, the best gift Gerry will have left when he departs, via GLand, is that you do yoga so that you can do something awesome more effectively.. yoga is not an end any more than leggings are actual pants.

Roystein. Hi mate, hope you’re digging it.

Arrived yesterday lunchtime, 4-5ft pretty crowded but we got waves, this morning first up small group, smaller surf 3-4ft. Post breakfast another session only ten in the water got waves, bit slow but decent when they arrived, I think small again tomorrow before the chart starts to go right up and then serious right up.
Barely a puff of wind which is a bonus. Getting good practice in for when it gets serious.
Yes, it is a wave you must surf before you die, at 4-6ft it’s much fun. AW

Gotta admit, it was poor form.

Didn't know you were out there? Unless this is Mitchell taking over the account. Everyone looks like an identical Ansell condom in those full sheath rash vests.

Let it be known that I dont care who paddles inside of me today.

This heat, eh?

Yeah, last day. Swell's run out of steam. Next one looks alright. Bit smaller than the last but better tides.

Supafreak Wednesday, 23 Jul 2025 at 08:29 pm

Speaking of Florence X , I checked out their website for impact spring suits . They only do custom made ones and are $1400 but to order one you must first become a member for a $20 fee . AW thought he was onto some well priced Florence marine boardshorts at the Hts surf shop , price tag said 300,000 rp , bargain , took them to the counter and on scanning they were 1,300,000 rp , a little 1 was on a different line to the 300 . Needless to say , no deal .

Island Bay Wednesday, 23 Jul 2025 at 09:05 pm

Enjoy the last day, Stu. How have your boards been going?

Speaking of hooded rashies, I’ve only worn mine once, otherwise boardies, bareback and no booties, and fuck does that feel good. Zero sunburn.

The Outer Island gun went unreal on the bigger days. I've ridden it here before so I knew it would. Brought a 6'4" Stretch as a back up when another board fell through, but it's an experimental board. Basically a full size Comp Gun shrunk into a 6'4" frame. Very thick so it paddles unreal but the rails don't engage easily. I felt 'on' the water not 'in' it. It'd sideslip during big speed pumps.

Last two surfs on a 6'4 DP with a slight assym tail. Very twitchy, great to get the first pump in during smal swell and low tide. Lotta fun.

Sounds like you gave the Keogh a proper going over.

Island Bay Wednesday, 23 Jul 2025 at 09:23 pm

A Mitchell Rae in Indo - can’t go wrong.

Yeah, had a good time on the Keogh. All I want to do now is surf bigger waves on a big board. It’s a problem.

A few expat friends have been whinging all year that we haven’t really had a decent swell yet . I’m very content with this year so far but they are hooked on charging big waves , the bigger the better, it’s their drug and they haven’t been getting their fix . Driving their wives crazy with their grumpiness to the point the wives are screaming at them “ for god sake’s just go surfing ! “

The answer to the first trivia question ?
Who surf with their booties clipped to their boardies scrapped their fins on the reef at lowtide?
