@billcurci Amazing video. Love it. I was wondering what the name of the place you surfed is at 10:27. I live in Indo and am planning a trip to the Mentawai soon. This specific wave is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks!

@SurfRW The brief clip of the right hander at 10:27 I believe was Rag's right. We didn't spend much time there - captain felt it hadn't been working well since the big earth quakes lifted many of the reefs in the region. (The one guy who surfed it indicated it was nearly dry reef on the take-off - most of us chose to watch...) HT's was the best right we had on the trip. Most of the right hand footage other than the piece at 10:27 in the video was HT's... Have a great time!

@surferbum618 thanks! - it is totally worth it if you can get out there! It took me a while to get comfortable (only been back to surfing regularly for the past couple of years after pretty much not surfing for 15 years) - amazing place and people (and of course - the waves!)

@surfandyoga thanks - the credit goes to the captain and crew of the MV addiction (who did all the video taping and 99% of the editing) - a great group of people

amazing video, you guys are a bit heavy on the back foot tho. The guy in the black QS rashguard charges but has style like an SUV going downhill with no brakes

Hey Mate,

Great Video, i am going on a similar trip next year. Watching your movie just makes me even more excited and a little nervous to go.

Can you tell me the name of the first track in your movie.

Thanks

Great footage- I was on the addiction end of july/start of aug (probably the trip before yours), I can't recommend the boat and crew highly enough. Great editing, and the wipeout section at the end was classic... nothing like a trip over the reef to wake you up!
