this was our floating palace for 14 days. i slept on the deck every night except 2. seen a lot of falling stars, sailfish jumping all over the place, pods of dolphins, and other freaks of nature. boat trips are the best and every time i go on one, it makes me more and more want to own one someday. i’m just getting closer to the life i want to live. and if i do end up owning one someday, my friends are going to be pretty dam lucky because we’re going to “Surf our Dreams”….

there was this beautiful sandy beach island. wait, there were a lot of beautiful sandy beach islands. but this one was loaded with shells, a lot of shells… and a pretty sick shorebreak wave too. so i stick my camera in my housing and swim to the beach to investigate….

the sky was blue, the sand was white, and the water color was emerald. i took some of the best shorebreak photos i’ve ever taken. i’ll wait till a little later to show it because first, i’m going to send it to some magazines. but here’s a sneak peak. this is sequence 1 of 8. number 5 was the shot…..

good morning. jumped in the water yesterday for a surf at this pretty popular spot in sanur. it’s usually crowded but only one guy was out when we got out there. the tide was coming in and so were the waves. solid 3-5′ and lining up nice. 15 minutes later, the guy went in. talk about scoring. gosh, where the heck is everybody????

garut was hanging in california for a while. filming for a FUEL TV show that’s coming out later this month. he just got back to bali 2 days ago. perfect timing…. upcoming contest at keramas on monday. big swell on the way too. all the boys will be at the contest so i’m stoked. anywhere else i go, no crowds. yeah!!!! good luck to all the boys in the contest… and getting back to garut, i’m always happy when i see him. just watching him grow up from the little 8 year old kid to the man he is today is awesome. i’m super proud of him….

a babi guling lunch in sanur. so good…..

now, meet garut and his gangsters… don’t mess with them. and if you seen all of them in the water together, go surf somewhere else. because they catch every single wave. only i can drop in. haha….
