Boom! Woke up to a gnarly looking line-up, solid 6-8ft, sets breaking on the bombie. G-Land had done a radical pick up overnight. This swell is not the quality and perfection of last weeks high period swell, but I still had butterflys as a I prepared my 7'8 for G-Land Surf Combat.
A frothing pack converged quickly onto Launching Pads and Speedies as the tide filled in and the wind swung offshore around 10am. Some big sets rolled through Money Trees and for the most of it the Pad wasn't breaking too far out, but was still a solid 6-8ft. Speedies was not perfection but there were some big barrels had, some gems were certainly on offer if you got the right one.
Jon Hepler snapped off about 3000 photo's of everyone today, Jon is G-Land Bobby's Surf Camp resident photographer and gets some amazing shots of the guests. So tonight his photo studio was very busy with the hordes checking out there style in the G-Land Surf.
At least 8 boards were broken today, and one 8-10ft set came through Launching Pads after lunch that claimed about 6 legropes. Jean, a regular G-land surfer and videographer around Indonesia, got a big wave on the head, and dived under it only to be flipped around and cutting his forehead on the reef, requiring 7 stitches! Carnage..
