A few good friends, one car packed with boards, five scooters, and an amazing isolated beach was easily one of the best weeks of my life. We hit the road and chased waves around one of my favorite places in Indonesia, where we camped overnight and woke up to pumping waves pretty much every morning. We shared countless cold ones, ate street corn, and lit fireworks into the night’s sky. It was so good to get off the radar with the crew at Monsta Surf. Their motto is: “Live passionately.” And as these pictures illustrate, we did just that. Here’s a small selection of one of the best trips of my entire life. Enjoy!
