You follow the rules. You’ll have fun.

Do a re edit with the goofie guy’s mouth GoPro! Or at least tell me a link where I can see the footage he got @ 4:25

Any direct email?

Mentawai island ferfect wave

Who designed the boat going past in the background at 12:15? it's not looking very hydrodynamic plowing water like that in sheet glass conditions 🤣

Great videography and editing Christie and Alice👍🏻.

An embarrassment of riches here.

Good

WOW! They're ripping people off, and that shortens the life of the engine aa well!😖

Great to see you relaxing and enjoying looks good

How long does this take?

perfect/thank you

Packed like the rest of the world. Chinese surfers next

More rocker for hollow powerful waves. The last thing you want are thick rails. Go 3 to 4 inches longer then you short board. If you want a little more volume get a board like a Timmy Patterson as he puts it in the middle of board. Make sure your fitness is on point. Volume isn't always the answer. A place like sunset you will want more volume to absorb the chop and get in.

Magical, Absolute Magic Oh our planet is Sooo Blessed Thanks for Posting 💖 🙏

I think the biggest mistake is when a low-intermediate decides to travel to the other side of the globe to attempt surfing a world-class advanced wave. Nothing worse than having to give a wave to a knuckle-head who shouldn't even be out in the line-up.

Back in '98, there were only a few boats that would take you to the reefs.Suharto was still in power and crowds were only a small part of a much broader spectrum of problems-including maybe getting beaten to death for being Christian. I remember the words 'boat wars' being thrown around back then. I was otw back from ebay and these South Africans were complaining the conditions sucked and back home was better. The truth was ebay is not some paper-lip,''barrel is the safest place to be" wave,and these kids got scraped tf up. Looking at these vids now is a trip. I felt a lot of fear when I was in Indo,always. I also felt without a doubt, that these islands hold the best waves in the world, period. The notion of it being a playground for IG influencers and the rich doesn't sit all that well with me. On the other hand, hey, with all those beautiful waves ,it seems a shame they go unridden. I haven't been back since then. And every day I wish I could.

The best wave in the world.

Loved the end getting off the boat “Beer Time” sick!

I wish this was mandatory for SoCal spots.

No such thing as a cut back at Hideaways.....😆

Good observations

Looks very very tasty😃😃😃

Lol. No biggest mistake surfing over reefs is not being skilled enough to surf over reefs. Thickness of board is not that critical for an experienced rider.

that raptor 🦅 was coming for your drone

WHAT GREAT WAVES AND FUN, WOW! SURF UNTIL YOUR ARMS ARE ABOUT TO FALL OFF. ELECTRIC.

I sorta think saying you need booties is the same as saying don't do drugs. The enticement is there. People are going to do them so maybe some nuance would be beneficial. Like at bankvaults it's pretty deep so should be sweet

I'm going to Wavepark next week. I need waves like these!

Music please ?

Great video Christie, With regards to volume is it more how its distributed in the chest to allow better paddling.. but refined in tail to allow control and hold in the powerful wave face? The advanced surfer definitely shows more composure and the line they draw is not too high or too low in the tube. The lower ability surfer appears to panic or freeze on the takeoff, or move their upper body excessively going down the line. Seems like a lot of the surfers were out of their depth but I bet I would be too without extensive experience surfing reefs, getting used to the power and energy of the swell.

Great stabilization Job, softwarenya yang apa?

awesome thank you!

If you are going to go that’s the way to do it!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

And no Giant Kick Outs!!

Damn you COVID!!!

At least the crowds were down.

Having more volume is not good advice. The first thing is if you aren’t confident in heavy water waves then don’t out on slabbing reef breaks. In powerful waves you want less volume unless you are surfing massive waves like waimea. But if you are talking about hollow 6-8 ft your much better off going with a longs board but keep the volume the same. Having too much volume in Powerful waves will cause your rails to be to boxy and not sink into the wave which will cause you to slide out. . You want more volume in smaller waves as you want the board to float more. In more powerful waves you want it to sink into the face. I ride less volume in reef breaks compared to beach breaks as generally you are surfin into a channel and you don’t need the paddle power.
