Burleigh Cove Australia

Framed by a sheltering copse of pandanus trees and a pair of opportunistic wave-hunters, a lucent Burleigh Cove barrel (indicated by an inclined driftwood log) begs for a little social intercourse.
John Witzig tells us that, “the pandanus is common to the east coast of Australia, from Crescent Head north … and all over the Pacific. The seeds float around in the ocean until they find a hospitable shore to germinate on.”

Real Indonesia Surfer

What a great day! Yudi Andika, along with his family and a few friends, narrowly outran the Dec 26th 2004 tsunami when it decimated his village in Aceh, Indonesia. They lost loved ones and possessions, but life just had to roll on. Here’s Yudi, living it to the full at home.

Everyone knows that the waves in Indonesia are superb. To get away from the crowded Bali waves and heading for a more exotic experience, try to go to Nias Island, where you’ll find Lagundri Bay. The accommodation is simple but comfortable, the food is excellent and the local people are warm and friendly! The waves here are guaranteed to be uncrowded (or less crowded!).
