Wednesday, November 18th, 2009My goodness!!! Almost an exact replay of yesterday went down today. The main differences were: surf backed off a bit and an elaborate ceremonial sacrifice/offering took place. But the call regarding the fire blazing anew was the same….equally as shocking the 2nd time coming. I still didn’t surf! 9 days straight which, of course, is a lot if your here at G-Land.
November 16th 2009
Monday, November 16th, 2009I woke up with the strong hope that today would be the day I surfed again. Early morning conditions were promising, just needed the offshores to start up. Fan Palms was about 4 to 6 foot (faces) and rare sets were making it down into Moneys. I continued to feel positive that today I would remember what riding a surfboard was like…haven’t stood on one since November the 8th.

Monday, November 16th, 2009Sorry….forgot to write one up yesterday and by this point in time, I’ve forgotten pretty much what went down. I do remember that the surf was not too good and some of the guys surfed Kongs. Some, by the way, means not all 6 guests surfed.
ENJOY….

Saturday, November 14th, 2009The 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.
November 13th 2009
Saturday, November 14th, 20093rd consecutive day of quality G-Land Surf. Backed-off just a bit from yesterday, but “only a bit.” Every day that passes makes me more appreciative for the conditions that we’re getting. There will be that day…probably soon…where I’ll commit to the thought “yeah, the season has switched.” It’s getting hotter, more humid, a few light rains at night, more atmospheric moisture hanging above Grajagan Bay, the monsoon season started off the Philippines, BUT… the offshores are still happening. And that needs to change so I can easily “commit to that thought!”

Thursday, November 12th, 2009IT WAS A DAY NOT TO MISS if you were here at G-Land. Fortunately, all the guests got to surf. I didn’t once again. But… fortunate for me, I’m not bummed by it either… just truly stoked for the guests. They got that gem of a day…November 12th 2009 will be remembered by several.
I’ll have to trust the others about (more…)

lionfish
Smallest day yet since I arrived 1 month ago. A few of the guys went for a surf, but I don’t think they were able to ride a wave for more than 20 yards. G-Land can go flat and tomorrow’s forecast is to go even flatter. But we still have good winds. A little south in it again, but dominantly from the east.
Cole went for a dive and speared a small Jack, the 3 Pomes (Saul-Myles-Spencer) and 2 new guests (Greg n Roger) watched a movie and had a surf, Warren went for 2 surfs I think, I saw a lionfish in the little pool off of 1st point, and Molly chased fish all day. A calm, restful day at Bobby’s G-Land Surf Camp.
It’ll be interesting to see how calm the ocean is tomorrow since today is one of the flattest I’ve ever seen.
November 6th 2009
Saturday, November 7th, 2009Over time, everyone develops their own reliable line-up markers at G-Land and I visited two old, almost forgotten friends… gebang kembar. It’s a such a fun peak that is undoubtedly reliable. I didn’t surf until 3 today…looked at it a few times earlier on, but took one of those long, unexpected midday sleeps again. And the rest was so well used up by the non-stop wave riding that transpired from my first wave until after sunset. Thinking back, my first wave was amazingly long. “That wave went for so long” kept resonating in my thoughts on the 15-minute paddle back up. WOW!!!
