No, we don't know the story behind this incident. All we know is that it happened less than an hour ago at Lagundri Bay, Nias, which is currently getting hit by one of the largest swells in many years.
Hopefully no-one was hurt. When or if more news comes to hand we'll post it below.

I think it's the boat that anchors just up from the keyhole. Apparently no one on board.
Would be interested to see the aftermath.
Jesus. If there was someone on board, I dunno how they'd have survived. Heaviest thing I've seen in ages!
It’s been anchored in front of the keyhole, with no engine. It was looking shady in the swell last week and with all the water moving around... seemed inevitable..
Heard it was a boat broken from its moorings and adrift with no one aboard and there were no injuries. Crazy!!
lucky the local ding docktors are cheap, they'll fix the snap

Sounds like something Gary G would say
And another angle..
And they are complaining about dudes not wearing legropes up at Byron !!!
Please be right guys!
Note massive inshore ocean sweep without set waves could easily carry & crush a boat.

In happier times...
Crazy they didn't move it before the swell hit, was always going to be a real risk of losing its mirroring and this happening.
BTW. Boat i heard is Tims of Key Hole Surf Camp.
I think so, might have been on a charter so maybe didn't get back to move it?? I reckon even this wouldn't stop Tim from smiling though :)
Insurance job?
Does such a thing exist in Asia let alone Indonesia?
Don't know? Good scam tho....it broke it's mooring and well the rest is history. I was gonna fix the engine, I swear.
Healy reckons that wasnt even a set wave !!!
Mort would have jumped into the captain's chair and steered the ship through the barrel. He'd do that hungover as all fuck after a night of passion with a super model. That bloke is a legend.
