Things to bring to Indo (boat trip)
- Thread starter santacruzin
- Start date
I was in a situation at Thunders, where I had no choice but to straighten out ... which as we all know, is the worst possible thing to do. My fins kept on scraping over reef and I had nowhere to go. A miraculous jump backwards to backwards-facing-starfish-on-foam somehow got me unscathedtotally agree. starfish saved me more than a few times . wave I cut myself on I wasn’t even thinking. Just kept doing bottom Turn , top turn, bottom turn, turn top turn. Then oops I was dry on the reefescaped with 3 huge gashes on my back foot a giant one on my knee and a few on my arm.
I was hypnotized by the perfection!
After my cuts somewhat closed (things don’t heal when surfing for hours each day ) I stopped wearing booties. Definitely an art to surfing over reef. feel like I got way more comfortable with all the close calls, bails, swims and reef tours I had.
I was laughing because it was my third session in perfect fun waves, buzzed on bintangs and Rusty is yelling at me and making me laugh.
You have beers and then surf?I was laughing because it was my third session in perfect fun waves, buzzed on bintangs and Rusty is yelling at me and making me laugh.

the indo diet. bintangs are like water but yea you tend to drink a buttload of them pre, post surf no matter where the day takes you.
I may have paddled out with a bintangs a couple times. Had a perfect pocket in the trunksSeen plenty drink them while surfing too
And what cutnsnip said, you dont get that drunk when you are surfing that much. Drank a ton of water too.
Beer has the same effect on surfing as it has on your dancing skills .... makes it 100% betterer.
A beer or two for the afternoon session is good for inhibiting cramping. Nothing better than a cold one or two before jumping on the last boat to Cloudbreak for the evening tube fest. Something about a mild beer buzz and perfect So. Pacific roping walls that is just, well just perfect.
i dont even like beer but i'll sip on bintangs all day long out there. its hot afI may have paddled out with a bintangs a couple times. Had a perfect pocket in the trunks
