After initially booking in for only a week,Festivities ended up staying 16 days,a bit crowded at first,but the crew dwindled between the moons,giving the boys 3-6ft G-land for a week with only 4 guys in the water at times!!!!! The crew filled back up before this last swell,but the boys had had enough and decided …
Great waves again today,Bingin and Impossibles were firing at 3-5ft,a bit crowded,but looks can be decieving,as only about 5 of us were pulling in,the rest were heading straight for the shoulder!!!!! a nice way to start your day!!!! Tweaked my back doing a cutty,so am a bit sore,my bones are starting to show their age!!!Joel …
Bit of a bump coming tomorrow,really south swell though so it might not get into a few spots,so after the debacle of my last Desert Point run I’m gunna stay in Bali and surf here.Should be 4-6ft for the next 2 days,so Bingin should be the goods!!!! Maybe even Padang,as all the Indonesian pros are …

Raced out to Ulu’s to be greeted with 4-5ft lines breaking through the Racetrack,surfed …
Well it finally looks like the drought has broken,Sunday/Monday looks like having some of the best waves of this month,in all honesty that probably won’t be too hard to achieve!!

There’s a little pulse tomorrow and the next day,enough maybe for a bit of Bingin.Thyen small waves for the next week again,this has to go down …
Got back from Lombok this arvo,don’t think I missed anything at the Point,checked the Sengigi indicators this morning and called Joel at G-land,a little bit bigger there 4ft,only 3ft here in Bali so jumped a boat and came back. Looks like Ulu’s all this week,not a bad thing,the Peak is great fun and the Racetrack …
What a strange couple of days!!!!all the charts and buoy readings were calling a decent 8ft swell,more than enough to fire-up the point the last 2 days,instead it’s been flat!!!!!Well not flat,but it might as well of been.Got a call from Joel this arvo when i was driving back from Desert’s,G-land is only 3-4ft!!!!A heap …
