a boat trip to the mentawais




the mentawai islands, for me this is the surf trip of a lifetime. i dug up these pix from a pal who has already been there twice. that's him, paul, taking off on the nice reeling right. perfectly groomed, cylindrical, not a drop out of place. "it's an incredible wave machine" as he recalled it. every time i look at these pix, i daydream of maybe one day going. i think for any passionate enthusiast, we all have the one place that we want to experience in our lifetime. be it, hitting a tiny white ball on some well manicured lawn, or carving thru some twisty roads along coast highway, or bombing down a glacier in the dolomites, these are the experiences that should keep us inspired.
