Thanks groundswell , need to tick it off the bucket list, then taking a gamble on Lakey region hoping winds have eased enough 1st week in November then maybe bali. Lottolonglong cool story that sounds about it hope to catch you one day. Ps grajagan rivermouth Nov low tides. Gland much bigger area with different parts of the reef, more water moving around and more sectiony. Almost always a wave there and I've always been able to get waves regardless of crowd.
Deserts is more perfect but less consistent and doesn't handle a crowd as well. Any more news about the wozzle wankers comp next year? We had our flights to DPS booked for a trip mid-may next year before I heard the tragic news, and now wondering if I look at heading somewhere else.
Was really looking forward to going back to gland tho. There's been no official confirmation yet, the Wozzle usually releases the next year's schedule in November, however the dates for the proposed G'land comp are June 3rd to June 16th. I've surfed desserts twice with no one there, however, it was small and did need to be bigger. We just missed the tail end of a good swell run not too big that ran for over a week and an average of 15 pax in the water according to the locals.
He confirmed that the camp had been booked out. For longer than the waiting period too which I guess makes sense so there's some bump in and bump out time factored in. Now looking at Lombok. A week on the south coast near Mawi hopefully getting a few waves and then my wife's turn in the sw Gilis. Thinking of a boat trip to DP and wondering whether it's surfable in a "normal" swell - eg.
Does it work on those average days or does it need to be way overhead to work in which case it's probably beyond my ability? And are there any other waves in the area or is DP the only one? Head high at Ulus? No way. Double head high? There'll be a few peelers on a draining tide. Other waves? Maybe but they'd need to know where. Great old footage of Camel at G-Land.

Cheers dandan that was gd! Camel how long was that Rhino? Paddling gloves in the first session? Good find DDD. Epic style. Jeez some of the wipeouts in there look nasty. Great story LottoLL. Great vid dan. Classic Camel story. Need to get back there. Clam was that board made especially for g-land? Hello Camel, The way that board is planing looks remarkable. Beautiful surfing. Feeling your pain mike, cockroaches.
I think that a lot of my determination down the alaia and finless path has been to keep my excitement up for the average day of surf. I am not going to get a big Puerto Escondido barrel tomorrow, but I am going to a great thrill from pulling perfect trim on a waist high wave on the Albacore.
And when the surf does get big and perfect I will be ready for it. Skip to main content. Camel the Seaglass Ripper. Surfing has given me all the good stuff in my life, all the best feelings in my life, it's what I love. Before he was named winner of the biggest paddle-in category at last night's Surfing Life's Oakley Big Wave awards, Goulden spoke of the passion that drives big wave surfers on often risky searches for the ultimate wave.
The day before paddling out to what would become his prize-winning wave, Camel experienced one of those precious moments at Critterbeasts break 20km off the south coast. After a minute paddle out, they made the most of the 6m swell. Since returning to WA from Indonesia nine years ago Goulden has lived out of his van, roaming along the coastline and picking up work as a surf teacher or repairing boards. Goulden is well aware of the shark threat, having helped rescue surfer Jon Hines after he was attacked by a shark north of Carnarvon in , but said he did not support a cull.
