We have returned safely from our Mentawai boat trip.
Nishii returned safely this morning from a Mentawai boat trip in Indonesia. This time, we were once again blessed with good weather and waves, and the shoot went smoothly. HT macaroni, Bintan, Cobra, Lance Left, Japan, Bloom, I went surfing there. We also managed to include two new, unreleased Mentawai light breaks, Please look forward to the release of Surf 1st, which will come with a DVD attached to the magazine! The DVD will be released at the end of January next year, as it will take time to edit the film. Before that, you will be able to see it in the 24'S Endless Johnny section of this site, so please look forward to the site being updated soon. Nishii is on his second day off the boat, but he still feels like he's on it. Even when I stay still, my body still shakes.

We arrived in Padang. We are about to board a boat called Mikumba and set sail for the Mentawai. I am currently in a 99-year-old building that was formerly a bank and has been renovated into a hotel. Here are some snaps of the town of Padang. There is no wind, so we head towards our destination, Mentawai, while watching the sunset over the calm sea. According to the online wave forecast report, we can expect consistent south swells of 3-6 feet. I'll update the blog on my way back.

This morning I went to Chuchukan. Here is a panoramic view of the point. Walloon of Chuchukan. The person taking a photo of the chashu appetizer at the noodle shop is This is Isseki and Kenken. The size of the waves is as follows: The waves are small like this, but they are fan waves. I tried riding the MONK and even though it was overflowing, it was easy to control. I was able to make sharper turns than I expected, so please look forward to the video on the DVD!

Bali on the 13th. I went there because I wanted to surf at Medewi. Unfortunately the waves were small that day so we went surfing at Balian. A commemorative photo with Deco-san. Dave is a 28-year-old young man from South Africa who is on a surf trip. He said Lost is very popular in South Africa. They were surprised and envious because we were all on Lost. On the way there, we sneaked into the morning market. Fishmonger, Cake shop, Egg shop, Greengrocer, Duck shop, They also sell chicks. Ramadan has started from today, so I have the day off work and am visiting from areas other than Bali. There were a lot of people at Kuta Beach. There was a huge traffic jam around Kuta and cars couldn't move forward.
Learn moreFirst time surfing in Uluwatu.
The waves were small everywhere today, so I surfed for the first time in Uluwatu. Because it is small, it is difficult to make it into a tube, It was a wave that allowed for continuous rips. This is the mountain of fried shrimp that we all shared. This is my first duck, and it's delicious! The locals of Uluwatu were excited to see the parabolic and coil waves for the first time!
Learn moreI went to Balian to take some photos.
Today, we left the hotel at 4am and drove for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. I went to Balian to take some photos. The waves were head high with a set of waves from the main left break. We surfed for about four hours, constantly changing boards. The waves gradually became long walls as we headed towards the high tide at 11am. I also tried out various fins. In the afternoon, we took explanatory photos for the board by the hotel pool and in the garden. We managed to make it in time for sunset, battling the red ants on the grass. Mr. Kato is in charge of the web design that built this site. He will be editing the DVD of this trip. He is helping us with the filming so that the DVD will be packed with content. This DVD tie-up sponsor: Masuko, the young president of Surf Supplement, also took photos of the supplements himself. We're leaving at 5 o'clock tomorrow.

The boards to be photographed this time are lined up in Walloon, Klamath. Three cars, a total of 12 riders and film crew members. There are three Parabolic SD3s in different sizes. First time at Keramas! The quality of the waves is in the top 5 of all the right breaks I've ever surfed, and they're amazing waves with tubes and lips. The waves at Kuramasu were as good as rumored, and we were able to take great photos and enjoy surfing. Our photographer, Dennis, is half Aussie and half Balinese. The second round was a fun surf with Gumiche. The waves here are messy, so RNF, ROCKET, CONQUEST and MONK were all great. We also tested Aurora's new design and color fins. The 4.5 MICRO FIBER FIN comes in a different color. The zebra and stripes are designs added to the Conquest fins. Coming soon as a tri-fin set and a quad set. Stay tuned!! This time, we were accompanied by legendary Balinese surfer Jodie (75kg), a heavy 43-year-old, so all the locals were happy to let us take their photos. He landed two consecutive backside 360s on the backside vertical lip with the Conquest!! Super good!
