  • Excerpt from my film OVER THE EDGE: speaking on one of my best moments in surfing, during the biggest swell to ever hit Nias, Indonesia. If I made it, I think this would have been the ride of my life...

    Respect for paddling into that beast. And sorry about that weird little section that broke in front of you.
    Awesome ride, mate.

    Crazy looking at the first aerial view of the point . Only palm trees when l was there , every morning to myself , midday with 2 others ,
    Back then it was the only low tide surfable break l knew of in the islands .
    But they were not beasts like this .
    Great commitment to the drop mate .

    gotta hate when ya feet go out of position from a mental drop like that, then you gotta learn how to ride that board with your feet where they are instantly, in a hectic position. composure kept. kudos

  • @mrmr314
    @mrmr314 Před rokem

    Yeah cos you sat low when Nias requires you to sit high or mid-way up the face. But nice charging that drop. Rare for Nias to close-out like that. Well done. (Of course charging reefs in the tropics always carries more medical dangers than are reasonable).
