Lots of people have asked why I have not posted much on this blog? I tell them to check out my instagram account :)



DO WORK!

I had no one to shoot so I thought I would try take selfies of myself in the barrel. You can laugh now.

Sumatra

The Waves are what you come for, the weather and waters warm, there is always a wave to be caught somewhere. The clear waters and aqua pits are something different, once you have arrived to this destination you are well looked after its just getting there. 2 planes and 6 hours in a car is what you have to pay, there seemed to be lots of risks taken during the journey, you would wont to be rewarded, we had fun.

Shack Shop

This place was out the front of a fun beachy the chicken out the front was standard at most places the lil treats also popular at most lil shack shops, the bodyboard on the wall on the other hand is a rarety.

People, Boats, and Story

 The People where stoked always saying "Hello Mr". Sometimes before paddling to a break they would want a photo with the "white boy",  lots of people stare as they had never seen many white people before especially with a massive piece of foam and holding a long pair of rubber shoes, there was usually bits of junk in the water as the locals dont think it matters to much, rubbish can either be burnt or been thrown in the ocean, the goverment pays for 80% of the fuel costs which makes it dirt cheap to travel.

 There is not much medical help if you get badly hurt as you are 6 hours from a hospital. Travel insurance helps as you can get a direct flight to Singapore, the drive to this location  is kinda crazy too if you had to go to the hospital, with 2 metre holes  in bridges, some bridges repaired with wooden logs, the thin roads and no road rules really gets you thinking that you dont want to take any chances as your already are on the roads been injuried would be nuts.

Possum Poo

We had been told about this place on a day with no waves. This possum eats beans and poops them out to produce a lovely grainy coffee, dont be fooled though, It sells for 100 bucks a cup in new york!
