Nias, October 2011

I’m back. Given my current circumstances, I decided it’s time to resume my blog. The only problems is that I stopped almost 3 years ago haha

I could just skip it all and pick it up from right now.. but since I got so much time in my hands at the moment I’m gonna resume it from where I left it, in October 2011.

Surf trips are, ultimately, what I live for. Every time I go in one there are so many photos and so many stories that it makes me lazy just to think of processing it all. Nias 2011 was no different. I think we were only there for a couple of weeks, and besides all the good people I met and the new waves I surfed, what stuck to my memory the most was how incredibly warm the water was.

Another epic moment that I will never forget from this trip was a midnight solo surfing sesh.. the moon was gigantic! And the texture was as glassy as it gets. It felt magical, like I was actually surfing on the moon and not on planet earth.

We also check out Asu for a few days, which was beautiful but had the worst possible wind on it.
Even though our plane almost crashed on our arrival and we had to divert to Malaysia for a few hours, that was an excellent way to celebrate getting my Private Pilot’s license at that time. 

Nias was one of passions from then on.
