I get the feeling this won’t apply to you but if you class yourself as any type of social media “influencer” and plan on promoting the place to enhance your “brand” then cancel your booking, stay home and have a long hard think about things.

Apart from that, don’t surf speedies at low tide.

LOL !

hi swell netters,
here is an idea ive been pondering to get rid of the kooks in indo, bare with a bit about me-

i was a member on here you might remember or may have forgotten, either way i don go one here much any more as i write lyrics and music these days more than surfing,, yet always check every ocean and every sea for forecastign my own strike missions in my head i dream of surfing still...

anyway point is im thinking of an idea, i dont surf much but am am pretty good at knowing where indo is going to be pumping
yet here is the twist, i label a huge bus as groundswell adventures with room for quivers yet i drive all the kooks AWAY from desert point and anywhere to the worst locations promising ygoia retreats and coffee all that shit the kooks love, i might get a small fee from the kooks but also a small fee from veterans to take kooks away from classic indo waves such as desert point..
thanks

in pessimism im thinking this idea might only last a year or so but i might need help with getting the bad reviews ..hopefully the kooks have such a bad time in indo they never come back..
i dont surf much these days so im happy to drive the hordes away from good waves when they are good

About the influencer's and kooks dropping in on even veteran surfers or anyone in the barrel already, i got an idea, as i dont surf much any more, im willing to advertise targetting kooks and bad moral surfers away from spots like desert point-
i drive a huge bendy bus with lotsd of room, have bed and room for quivers, yet mostly just capacino machines and yoa and avocado all the shit kooks like, i drive em all to east coast lombok facing east in south east trades and west coast area with monsoon winds..i get a small fee from any surfers who are veterans or just knwo the go, advertise one bus with two names, "
decoy adventures" to the veterans and groundswell adventures or maybe better name onshore swell adventures to the kooks..
get uncrowded surf at desert point- small fee for veterans,
want onshore perfect indo slop with yoga and avocado and ypu hate traditional indonesian food?
300 a week each, ...nah this might only work for a few months

Good to read you’re still alive and kicking groundswell. It would be cool to read what you’ve been up to lately . Your groundy after dark stories were legendary and you had a captive audience. Hope your health is good and life’s treating you well . Jack needs to win chopes and the others to bomb out to have any chance of making final 5 . Maybe you will scratch the itch and get back into surfing , if not, enjoy whatever it is that keeps you sane . Have fun .

thanks supafreak you were the one with a place on lombongan if i recall?
i might be wrong, if not

hope you''ve been back lately..saw a solid low last week i think it was... looked great for speedies..then a few days later friends in joyos were showing photos of 8- 10 foot wide pits at speedies..seems like a good year for indo...hope you are getting waves wherever you are..just everyone i know in ondo are saying kooks are taking over gettign pushed in at ulus when its 6 foot and getting nailed..or maybe i read that here..not sure..just came back to post a silly idea to take em to the wrong spots.

ps my other posts i wrote some how said pretty much the same thing, as tried different ways to post on here...anyway even if i dont surf any more i still watch friends or forecast a lot for almost anywhere in the world..i find it almost as fun as a surf trip...kind of..well no where near as good as real surfing really haha

glad you guys are going well on here
