Good times.

Haha thanks mate. The joys of my job. The Indo surf footage leaves much to be desired. I really need to build/buy a gyro rig that is small enough to travel with and works on a rocking boat. The shakiness is magnified when you cant get the boat close enough due to the reef and have to use a telephoto lens.

Anyone who's surfed that spot (lots of you guys have) will know the currents there and how hard it is to keep a boat steady and in position. The currents also make getting in the water and shooting with a camera in a housing more or less impossible.

nice vid,....is that lombongan?
funny thing is it looks almost as crowded as trig!!

Yeah it's Lembo (shipwrecks). Crowd was fairly big I guess as far as that spot is concerned but the waves were so frequent that you rarely had to wait to get a decent ride. The less crowded days and better waves saw me in the water surfing and not filming.
