Not much to do with Mentawai Surfing, but today’s blog goes out to all those people affected in the recent Christchurch earthquake. May your aftershocks stop soon, and your rebuilding go smoothly.
The question I have to ask the owner of the restaurant. How are those pictures mounted on the wall? I want some of that technology!
Here is the process involved in lifting just 1/3 of one mooring onto a speedboat, ready for deploying. If you want to help save the reef, please register as a member on www.mentawaimooringmovement.org and join our efforts.
This is what you are likely to encounter on a charter boat in the Mentawais. The craftsmen will trade t-shirts for spears, beer for masks, rupiah for wooden boxes…
Stoked to see 3 of NZ’s finest putting their money where their mouth is and taking on the worlds finest. Best of luck!
Another beautiful face of the Mentawais.
Three sunsets and one moonset from the middle of nowhere.
Here we go, my FB photo of the day.
I was filled with dismay to find out that somebody that I have as a friend on FB would accommodate these kinds of idiots. From his FB album:
“Such a bummer that no sharks came into the chum line on Matt’s bow and arrow shark hunting trip. Soaked a large chum bucket and tons of old sardine/mackeral from 7am-1pm. Here is a photo of Matt ready to take a shot. We did see a few things swimming around deep but nothing came to the surface in range. We were hoping for a Mako to say hello.”
Here are photos taken by Felipe from www.felipeoliveira.com.br
Felipe will be traveling around the Mentawais over the next few months snapping shots, and he may get a couple of you! Keep an eye out for the tan Spaniard. Gracias amigo!
