Watch: Postcards From Motel Hell // Indo Ripbowl Madness

After following Harry Bryant around the world for a year, filmmaker Dav Fox had a veritable surfeit of keeper clips. So many that the job of culling became the toughest of all - just how long could they make the film?

As it happened, they stuck within modern guidelines - 45 minutes or so - yet it means they've got hours of orphaned footage.

This edit, which is the second from the 'Postcards From Motel Hell' series, is itself 45 minutes long, and it's just one of the many locations Haz visited.

They've kindly split the clip into chapters so if something's not to your liking simply tab forward, or if you wanna see it again, tab back. Amazing, eh?

Is a good surfer that Harry. He might have an air game, but he seems to stick to rail to rail power surfing, great to watch.

loving this series, and best film of the last few years imo

Any rec surfers spent time at that wave?

Yep on a lid. They're surfing it with too much tide on it.

Yep did a couple of weeks there 7 or 8 years ago. Stayed with a local family.
Fun waves if not busy. Too many boogs for my liking though.
There a fun river mouth beachie not far away. Saw a decent bull shark there though one morning

Is it known as a boog wave?

Looks hard work on a surfboard- lots of wash throughs and close-outs.

It’s popular with boogs.
Definitely not a perfect set up but you can get some unreal fun as he’ll double up tubes. As Harry shows.
I’ve never been back but after watching this it has made me semi keen again.

Hugely popular with boogs. Arguably their most sought after Indo wave.

It has a section in every boog flick for the last 10 years. Would it kill someone to film it from a different angle. Funny how you can get bored of a wave without ever having been there.

No worse than the period they had socials in "every" film. I like both these waves but...

Kind of reminds me of some of the North Shore B grade waves on the Haleiwa side of Waimea.

Almost prefer them freeride. Some cracker breaks west of Haleiwa too if you want an empty wave to yourself. Too crowded and aggressive after Waimea.
