After the first surf here i made a pact with myself that i could'nt leave until i got tubed good and proper so that set the precedent for the coming week.
Once again the accomodation was superb,cheap,friendly and another bungalow.The first night i felt something in my shorts and brushed it off,to my suprise a scorpian fell to the ground.IScorpians had'nt even entered my mind but all of a sudden i was shit scared of them.
For the next three days i surfed unreal waves,getting many curtains but not a full deep tube until late on the third day and as you could imagine i was very bloody happy,kinda like a kid in an ice cream shop with no supervision.
There were some really good ozzies there (even west coast victorians) and we hung,drinking beer and eating at the local outdoor restuarant.
I also got attacked by bed bugs for the first time in my life and i would'nt recomend letting those buggers enter your life.I was itchy all night and day and looked like a freak with the measles,had to sleep in someone else's bungalow on the last night.(non surfers skip the next paragraph)
The last day there was awesome,( had to leave in order to sell the car as the thirty day permit was up).The waves were three foot,clean,four of us out and three foot wide.Allready on a buzz i got tubed in the first half our,
Getting plenty of waves it then happened,one of those lifetime memories.I got deep as in a tube so deep i thought there was no way of making it but held on and somehow came out,i let out a hoot,stood up then straight away another section forned in front of me and like de-ja-vu i pulled into another spanker and made it out.So not one great tube but two in one wave.For me that was absolutely the best feeling as i hav'nt had a great deal of tubes in my surfing career.I danced back up the beach and paddled out,blabbering my experience to the others and was smiled ear to ear.This place was so beautiful,the village,the local people,the wave and the energy.Unfortunately within a couple of weeks this quite little wonderfull community and wave will be exposed to the surfing world and i am glad i got there before the circus hits town.There is a rip curl pro comp being held there and from my experience this place will not handle the size of such an event,and i don't think the locals realise just how big it will be and the effect it will have.Sure the comp will be a success,the waves will be great,and amazing surfing will take place but in true form the big compañy will come in,make a huge impact and mess then leave back to their own fucked up money hungry world.I really hope i am wrong about this,only time will tell,but it is sad to see every corner of the world being effected by money,buiseness and the western world,so to Rip Curl i say"please do the right thing" and secondly i say "i allready thought you were a bunch of c#nts anyway" but mostly i say "thankyou barra for giving me a wonderfull experience and one i will forever treasure".
