Watching last year's no 2 surfer in the world rip perfect waves was a treat. Lincoln and Noah's goofy attack also held their own. Pete and Wayne found themselves sneaking off to un-crowded lefts. While Anton and Shieldsy captured many moments with various forms of cameras. The brothers Wundke were along for the ride, enjoying every bloody moment from barrels to beers.
It was good to catch up with Kong after saving my skin on another tropical island back in the Quicky Crossing days. The bloke still charges and was constantly revving all the crew to do everything from fish to full rail gouges. His berating of the young guys to stop wasting the waves by attempting aerials was classic. The boys, to their credit, gave him the respect of listening, then would land some feat of flying in the next session. Unfortunately, Luke's trip was cut short due to a painful dislocated shoulder. The only damper on a bloody fine and funny trip.
