selamat pagi!!! it’s such a beautiful day here in bali. we got to our hotel at 1am last night. had a few bintangs, and straight to bed. going to get a massage before heading to the airport again for a flight to timor. then by this evening, we should be heading out to the roti islands. just in time for the swell. 35 surfboards, 20 cameras, 8 spearguns, and 3 tubes of wasabi. i think we’re prepared. have a nice day….

every time i go on a trip, i try to get myself excited. excited by looking at old photos…

this was 1997 somewhere in indo…. yeah, big blue barrels..

and this is somewhere in indo last year. yeah, big GT’s…. now i think i’m excited….
**ok, i’m going to be on a boat and hopefully there isn’t any phone or internet connection. but if i hit a hot spot somewhere, get ready for some crazy photos. my batteries are charged, memory cards ready, and i’m ready to shoot big surf and big fish. on a big boat. in the meanwhile, since i’m so nice, i set up blogs for the next 2 weeks. haha… i had some time yesterday so i wrote some stuff. surf/dive/friends/youtube/stories, and just stuff. so stay tuned because as soon as i get some signal on my cell phone, i’ll send something over. the biggest swell of the year is heading to indo right as i speak so i’m going to surf my brains out. and dive a lot too. my goals? to get a 10 second stand up barrel, and spear a fish over 100lbs. two rides of my life… and at the same time, be happy and live a happy life…. wish you could all go with me. it’s a tough job but somebody’s got to do it…. sayonara…

and last, so many people sent me emails asking about the boat i’m going on. hey, i don’t know yet. ask me when i get back. but by the looks of this thing, i’ll be enjoying myself for a while. see that guy on the front? i’m going to push him overboard. why? because that’s my spot…. haha…

see you later!
