Getting back to our Indo trip. \u00a0I was talking to one of the locals on the beach at Scar Reef. \u00a0When I told him that I surfed here 30 years ago, he was really surprised. \u00a0He told me nobody surfed here back then. \u00a0He told me there was nothing or nobody on the beach back then. \u00a0And he told me that he wasn’t even born back then. \u00a0So basically nobody saw our big sailboat pull up, us jumping into the surf, and getting barreled back then. \u00a0And if they did, that would have been very weird. \u00a0Surf aliens? \u00a0Imagine that. \"\"<\/p>\n

Just up the coast from Scar Reef, there’s a spot named “Phantoms.” \u00a0We couldn’t see it from the front but as soon as we jumped off the boat from the back, I could feel the strong energy of the ocean. \u00a0As we paddled towards the shallow ledge, my mind was thinking “ok, this is not your typical perfect clean Indonesia wave, this is more like North Shore or Tahiti. \u00a0Except there is nobody who’s going to help you if you get hurt. \u00a0So if you paddle for a wave, you better commit. \u00a0My first wave was one just to test the wave and reef out. \u00a0Then the second wave was pulling into the barrel! \u00a0This uncertainty is what makes surfing remote spots like this very addicting. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Mateus can climb the Koko Head trail in 30 minutes. \u00a0That’s amazing!<\/p>\n

One of my wheels of my $1200 Rimowa suitcase broke.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just go to a Rimowa store and they will sell you a new wheel for $30. \u00a0Not too bad considering these suitcases are the best in the world. \u00a0I would never travel with anything else…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
