The Indo season has finally kicked into gear with back to back large groundswells gracing the numberless reefs and islands.
Here's a flashback to last year at Kandui, with Kelly Slater thrown into the mix of chargers.
While conditions weren't 100% perfect there were still some incredible rides going down.
"That board felt like the starting point for a new life."
The inner mechanics of Russell's mind.
Sniffing out the bounty on land and at sea.
From a day with a low wave count yet high consequence.
Like a hundred social media clips joined together but not on social media.
Seeking darkness on a sunny day.
And Matahi lifts the bar yet again.
Bite size humans in king size waves.

No wonder he wasn't in Brazil !
So his spinal meningitis cleared up ok?
Didnt think Kelly looked as good as a few others in that vid
hows the 8:45 drop in? on a kid wow
Hahahaha I know a few groms who could use a good burning, but not in waves like that!
That was hard to watch
That was a local kid, and got dropped in by a Brazilian and it wasn’t his only drop in of the day. The whole lineup toasted him even Kelly and pretty sure he had to go in after that
This guys represents everything that is wrong in surfing.
I hope surfers around the globe look at this incident and think again; coz' dropping in sucks; only the self-entitled narcissist could justify such a blatant disregard for another's safety.
Nothing like an empty lineup....
Adds another level of chaos to the already sketchy waves
unreal how busy it is considering the heaviness of the conditions and lack of immediate medical access should you come unstuck.
Why do I think this was last year...
You're right! I've edited the text above accordingly.
Kelly might not have gotten the biggest tubes but he definitely got the deepest. Some of those holes were outright frightening.
Back hand no hands, doesn’t look easy
That no hand drainer was a sublime tube ride.
