A short story in bullet points and photos!

• Touchdown.....then from Medan airport we headed to the small island of Simeulue where we jumped on our boat 'Seriti' for our ten day barrel-fest. First stop was a classy right hander known as Joysticks which is located in The Bay of Plenty. The name says it all, when you are surrounded by four breaks...well, that's plenty.
• After surfing there for a few days we headed down to Treasure Island. Yeah, another self-explanatory name. It's a right hand break that would have to be one of my favourite waves I have surfed. The swell was up from the south with light offshore winds allowing the wave to run to its full length. It also allowed the end section, known as The Claw, to belt out some heavy but makeable slabs.
• The swell direction and winds changed so we motored over to the island known as LIzard's Nest. Arriving at first light we waited for the reef to get a little more water on it before surfing perfection for the next six hours. 
• With our captain and crew on the Seriti we lived it up on the boat with awesome food and great service and with the local knowledge from Mick and Suzuki we all got the waves of our life.
