Mate going off, would of been fun getting out at that size LoL, like the profile shots too,
serious shredding on the PSH
PUMPING Janbruun I first surfed outside corner Uluwatu in 1980. I went back in 2006 got outside corner pumping again but too crowded. Uluwatu is more crowded than Burleigh
Bloody Bagus Jan "Tear Out My Car Seat" only way I can remember it Terimakasih (Thankyou) Ripping Freak.
Yep I surfed it very early 80,s too and keeped surfing it for thirty years. But last year first sup year , had a ball. If it gets really big every one goes to Padang so you get it to your self.
Love it. Sup
Have a friend going up with ski if it gets big but the sups coming as well just in case the sweep is manageable , will look you up and Dale ,

fantastic shots, gutsy, over there in 3 weeks, tak'n my sup for a plane ride also, just out of interest, paddles wrapped in bubble wrap in a sup paddle bag is ok? or do they need other protection as well to stop snapping or bending?
I wrapped my paddles in bubble wrap and tape to sup deck and put towels on top. Over cautious I am. But I saw a guy tape his paddle to his sup bag no protection ,it was fine, up to you.
That looks like Jan Bruun's paddle going for a ride.
Keep away from that fella' at Peanuts.....
How'd it go at G'land?
Great photos , JB,
Reminded me of a time when I piked out on a surf there one day .
We had walked down from the road ( couldn't drive down at that time about 1980 or 81 )
As we got closer the person carrying my board started making oohhh noises , we could then here the gigantic " slapping sound " of the lip hitting flat water!!
Took one look at it and said "no way"
Just sat on the top of the cliff in the hut and watched . we think someone said it was Martin Potter , doing vertical under the lip re-entry's awesome surfing .
Not many other people surfing it that day ....to big .
The first time I surfed it ,I did a bottom turn and got absolutely smashed , wasn't ready for the power / speed of it .
There was a couple of boards snapped ,
No g-land yet. Maybe this year. Last year with familly didn't have time.
I think g-land would be sick on sup,hang up around kongs and the ledge.
Speedies would be abit crowded I think.
Yeh Sands I had similiar experience, been there numerous times but this time before dawn paddled out with out checking it out first, got out just passed racetracks, got hit a couple times by what was a reasonable size set, kept going, then this effyn set from the horizon came in bigger then any freight trains i have seen, scraped over the top of each wave, effyn freaked, then another set came in bigger, man I reckon I had paddled half way back to Australia, mmm then I had to get in before the tide was in and the sweep pushed you past the cave, that was a trail also... way outa my depth but survived, certainly a place to respect
Blade edge down on grip. With some bubble wrap under paddle gap for strength so it can't crack or break. As I said over cautious
