So'd ya make it, thommo? Judging from the pic and the word "pounding" in the caption, doesn't look like it. Great pic, though.

I love the way it doesn't even look like you've put your hands out default. Inverted pinny. Great shot. Damn funny.

Posted these over on the dark side a year or two ago. As one of the non surfing SUP riding clowns you guys are always bitching about, thought I'd throw em out there and join the herd.
Taken at my favorite haunt of the last thirty six years, just down the road and round the corner.

this wave is not very long ("2 turns and a cutback "or "one" if you are over 40)but pretty consistent and within paddling distance of where you can stay

Last august in Lombok. Great spot, no crowds(well maybe a few euros every now and then) Waves ranging from shoulder height(video)to double o/head on the inside break then big solid stuff on the outside break. Too heavy for this 54yo at the time. that wave was a tiddler, had to wait for the sets every 20-30mins. First ever film or photo of myself in 30 plus yrs of surfing.
