G-Land was rather small today and I had no inspiration at all to hit the water. Movies, photos, and relaxing in the hammock with a surf magazine were my highlights for the day. Ketut gave me a haircut (I have an interview next week)

Others decided to go standup paddleboarding on the new boards we have here at Bobby’s camp and others decied to go fishing. Those that went for a grovel still had alot of fun. G-Land is such a relaxing spot and it’s great to be in the jungle enjoying the beauty Indonesia has to offer.

The fun, 3-day run came to an end….although….guys were still going surfing.  G-Land almost always has something to ride, especially considering where most of us come from.  Maybe if you were from another equatorial country would you not surf on these days.   But, for Indonesia’s standards, it was small…and when it’s small here, there’s only one place to go.  Guys were saying that Kongs was fun, still with some head-high waves but a little weak.  I would easily take the bet that surfing alone up there compensated for the lack of power and/or size.

From numerous reports, sounds like most of Indonesia (more…)

A full house today in G-Land Bobby’s Surf Camp. 70ish guests after changeover this morning, but still the surf wasn’t even crowded, probably because the other 2 camps do not have many guests. Upon first check of the surf this morning at 7am, the surf was 2-3ft and looking like a rest day in preparation for the forecast swell tomorrow. Then at 10:30am when I was taking new guests on Orienation Tour (after showing them my whiteboard which said surf a 6ft board for the 2-3ft surf today) we see a macking 6ft double overhead set come through!! Wow, the swell came super early for once! So now on my Tour I talk about travel insurance and why people should have it, and after that speech a few people who didn’t have it already went online and bought some. Wise move in Indonesia and especially G-Land.

So about 12pm I paddled out in the G-Land Surf on my (more…)
