Reencontrando a galera em sydney

Going out or sleeping early to get to surf in the morning? This question would daily dare my decision power, which ain't as strong as my power to avoid the temptating night life of Kuta.I ended up choosing both most of the times. I reckon I went out way too much this year, specially if compare to the last year. in the last 6 days I went out and got home about 5 o'clock everyday. with the bamboo walls and my insomnia, as well as the awareness of the surf's quality, I would simply stand up at 8 and start my day. My body couldn't resist and I got really sick in the 7th day doing it (my last in Bali) losing the farewell swell. I got as many disesas as a human being can get at the same time. Fair enough! U fuck up, U learn. The funny thing is that as soon as the plane landed in Sydney, I was fine again, but the waves didn't come with me!

Going for a shop. Anyone is a millionaire over there.. after 100 DVD's, 21 t-shirts, a lot of silver and some other shit, I managed to make my wallet empty in this day.

it isn't that bad being a backhander at ulu's

The boat about to get in G-land, and batata's screwed shin.

Sinuca e ping pong sao 2 coisas que pra mim so existem aqui nessa selva (g-land), onde quando as estrelas pipocam com o cair da noite nada nos resta a fazer. a proporcao e de 50 caras por mulher, e milagres conjugais como o do ano passado sao algo com o qual nao se pode contar, entao entre 7 e 11 da noite so nos restam mesas e sorrisos, alem da ansiedade pelo dia seguinte.

Everytime I come here I feel like "fark, this is my place in the world!" if G-land was a right hander I would leave everything and become some sort of tarzan just fishing and surfing. Or maybe not..

My G-land bed. Here we go! one more way to die in indo

..

We didn't get any big day in g-land, nothing compared to the massive 10 foot swell i got last year, definitely. Basically what we did was to avoid the 4 flat days that Bali went through by scaping to the Jungle, where never gets flat and any wave can be the one of your life, in any given day.

7 waves lined up, only 1 chick watching: that's what u get in G-land

Fark!

No ways! u made it!

"No worries mate, just get me a bintang afterwards and it's all good!"

padang.. my DHD 6'1 complained a bit, but still worked this day. In this photo, a backsider riding a proper board.

My room at padang padang inn. This bloddy dog decided to have 8 puppies underneath my bed this night! I got home like 4am and the little wankers wouldn't let me sleep, the funny thing is that all my mates staying in the near rooms thought that it was the sound of a sheila I was scoring, rather than a bunch of puppies. After the event I was considered their dad!

Back in the flat fridge

NOOOOOOOO!
I'm back in Sydney.. Actually i've been here for nearly a week, but couldn't bother posting b4. The rest of the trip was awesome, Lembongam Beautiful and just when I got back I scored my best backside barrel ever at Ulu in such a perfect day. My 6'2 has finally got in action that day, this section was the plenty of barrels one that i was waiting for. After then I started to go out too much, I would surf in the morning and arvo, go out to the bounty and paddy's getting home like 5 or so. the walls are made of bamboo, and I have insomnia, so my day would start about 7 or 8, which means a couple of hours of sleep! I was like this for 6 days, and then I got the shit: all the diseases I could have got were on me! fever, diarrea, sinus, cold.. I didn't leave the room in my last day, and it was my mate's birthday, plus padang was going off! Yeah, I guess I deserved it anyway.. I slept my last night at a place in kuta where u barely could see the wall with so many mosquitoes! For some miracle I woke up felling better (maybe those mossies had sucked my sickness) and went for some shopping b4 I leave, developed the photos.. The trip was definitely kick ass! I learned a lot about Indo, I guess.. If u want to stay a while you'd better save your body as much as u can, whether sleeping well or regulating activity. Also, it might be worth staying at kuta as long as u know the place well enough to go always to the right spot.
I'm heaps glad that, once again, I survived Indo! I was thinking during my flight back: We got such a huge range of ways to die over there! just to mention a few:

Earthquakes
Malaria
Tsunami
Terrorist attack
Getting smashed on the reef
Dragged away by the current
Snake bite
Getting caught with a joint
drawning Car accident
Motorbike accident
AIDS
Scorpions
Heart attack when u see the waves

These are the ones I could remember now.. but I'm sure there are more, could us help me to remember? All that stuff makes me feel not so bad about being back at the flat fridge, it's crazy how much more secure u feel back here! I obviously already miss Indo, though.

Uluwatu, as good as it gets...

Aeee!
Voltei de g-land e desde entao isso aqui fico uma zona, do jeito que eu gosto. rolo um mar irado em uluwatu na quinta, boas fotos, depois uma night irada e ai o mar foi baixando e a fanfarra aumentando gradativamente, atingindo proporcoes fenomenais. agora tem outro swell pra chegar, finalmente! eu vo parti pra nusa lembongam, la eh muito irado. minha grana ta vazando muito depressa, comprei todas as fotos, uns quadros, vo fz um jogo dando minha DHD pegando 2 pranchas em troca.. entao como nusa e perto, barato, bonito, tem direita e eh bom pra descansar eu decidi que vai ser a boa.
eu encontrei muita gente aqui que eu nao via a seculos! Alem do garuti, que ta representando a disposicao maxima dos cariocas aqui comigo, achei o elisio, o leondre e o ufo, que ja partiram pro norte de sumatra pra fz um documentario sobre o tsunami; A Maia, que ta aqui a 4 meses e passo 60 dias em asu, um lugar com uma populacao de 10 nativos e sem telefone, internet ou qq coisa onde da 6 a 8 pes todo dia (essa e dispo), algumas pessaos que tavam aqui ano passado, algumas da australia.. e sem contar com toda a galera que eu conheci, astral maximo! mo merda esse lance de nao da pra bota foto, ja tem milhoes, e vai ter muito mais! qdo eu voltar se preparem.. mas as filmagens tao melhores ainda, momentos classicos como a atuacao do bonde na estronda dentro e fora dagua e bizarrices do cotidiano estao capturadas. beleza, o mar ainda ta la embaixo entao eu vo pra night de novo.
abracao

Which way?

Still unable to decide what to do with so many options, I'm sitting in this internet cafe enjoying the first small day spiced with an arak hangover.
It would be the go snicking off to G-land right now for this swell. Alright, I will do it! even knowing that I'll be going there again in a week, I want to spend the next 4 days in that place. everything is perfect to go right now, right size, right tide, people shoting..
This last swell was unreal, plenty of barrels.. padang padang is crazy!
Alright, see ya after G-land
