Ive been wanting to tick Nias off my list for years. Now its done... I think Mexico is next.
Ross, mate... you would not believe how many people tried to sell me your board. I stayed at Kristov losmen, right next to the keyhole. Not a bad place to stay until they charge you for stuff you dont even eat. We got pretty ripped off there one night. We got charged for 13 large Bintangs each in one night WTF!!! Im not David Boon.
The crowd was manageable... If there were 20 guys out, there were maybe 8 that could surf. We were surfing RockStars by ourselves most days, that is a wave made for a Kneelo.
EQ, we had a local dude called Selamat filming for us and just basically being our manager. Any thing we needed he'd pick up the phone and have it to you in minutes. If anyone heads to Nias, look him up.
Doc, that last wave on the movie... Thats Jamie O'Brien pulling back at the start. If he doesn't want it then yeah, its Fukn heavy!
John, thats Troy with the water camera. He got some insane shots. But Steeno is using them for a project he's working on so you'll have to wait to see the shots.
yeah I'd say every kneeboarder for the next 20 years is gonna get bashed about the ears with that board!
and yes rockstars is sick as long as 20 local crew don't hit it with ya!
