| Treasure Island lives!!! |
If you read this blog last year you may remember Kevin (henceforth referred to as Big Kev) and I went on an ill-fated boat trip to the Banyak Islands during our time in Indonesia. There was absolutely no swell, the boat had problems and we had to come home early. Big Kev and I were given a couple of options: half our money back or a free trip in the future. We were split in our decisions due in large part to Big Kevs plans to propose to Jessica a week or 2 later in Bali. I went with the free trip partly because I knew it was a good excuse to return to the wonderland of waves that is Indonesia.
I just returned from my free boat trip which was, coincidentally, exactly one year after the seemingly doomed trip last year. The boat still leaves a lot to be desired, the captain and crew, unfortunately, do as well. I don't really care to go on that boat again. However, there was a major difference between this trip and the last one: the waves! I was accompanied by 7 Aussies who were good surfers and good chaps. We had plentiful good times and more than enough waves to go around.
Luckily for me, and you all as well, one of those Aussies had a decent camera and took some pictures of our surfing exploits. I must admit regret, however, because these are only just a sampling of the waves ridden and the best waves of the trip live on only in my memories: and what memories they are!
AND GO!!

| Treasure Island is best at this size |
 |
| Smaller works too |
 |
| This was on a day that was too big, this one doubled up and went off! |
 |
| This is starting to feel a little self indulgent... |

| These are a few shots of Gunthers (not the same wave in the pics) |

| After the boat I had a couple of days on Simuelue and got to surf a few at Dillons |
That's all for now folks!
