We are looking for three (3) surfers to make a surf trip to Indian Ocean Indonesia in August - new location, not likely to be anyone surfing, prime season with steady SE monsoon dry season wind and consistent SW swell.

I have added this surfEXPLORE project to my listings on the Waverii platform, access via the link for details - thanks!

That’s it. I’m getting Optimist on the blower.

With JC banging on the door every other day, well, the so called good lord might just actually exist.
I await your reply Opti. I’m just saying, not believing. AW

Gosh, it is very obvious how much it bothers y'all that you don't know where it is - and to get access and surf Callahan's Indian Ocean secret spot(s) in peak season Indian Ocean Indonesia, you are going to have to pay.

No one has been able to identify the area -

I can see very well where YOUR secret spots are, having been there before it is rather obvious.

No one has been able to identify the area in the video clip either - I guess you don't know.

Are there waves on the PACIFIC side of Indonesia? Really?

I thought that was a diving area; you know, Raja Ampat and all - you can surf there too?

The bottom line is: if you want to go and you want to know, you have to pay - don't worry, I have been doing this sort of thing for more than 30 years, it's not fake or bullshit.

I actually WROTE A BOOK on international adventure surf travel - did you hear about it? Scheduled for release in September, 2025.

https://a.co/d/6uz6QJz

Let me know when YOUR book of worldwide surfing locations is scheduled for publication!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Just pay your deposit of USD $1500, get your invitation to the private Facebook group and do what I tell you to do, when I tell you to do it and you will be fine.

Lots of empty waves later, you can tell ALL your mates - "It was all true. He might be a dickhead Seppo wanker, but he knows exactly what he is doing, We got great waves with no one surfing"

& every possible person you dreamed of as a prospective buyer here has reinforced the fact that they (as a direct result of you being an incessant loudmouth good for nothing ‘marketing genius’ cockhead) want nothing to do with it …or you ;)

Just fuck off ;);)

“ I can see very well where YOUR secret spots are, having been there before it is rather obvious. “ ……………well then go ahead and name the spots of the pictures I’ve posted . That will prove to me that you actually know what you’re talking about . I really don’t care where your supposed mystery spot is , there’s plenty of uncrowded waves in an area covering 4000 kilometres and I don’t need to pay you $3000 USD for a spot I’ve more than likely surfed before .Enjoy your day and hopefully your dreams of 3 blind mice come true .

Fuck you’re a tool.

Most of us know the waves and the people who first went up there and surfed the waves facing the Pacific. Do you think you are some kind of Ferdinand Magellan, re writing cartographic history ?
And to make matters worse, you even talk in the third person.Such a tosser.

We even know the people who have opened a surf camp there, their nationality , we know the first boats that ventured there, businesses from the Mentawais who looked far afield and found.
I was in that area 6 weeks ago, it’s no secret, but you keep telling everyone it is.

Are you a paid up Swellnet subscriber or are you using this platform for your own selfish leverage.
You must be so desperate for money with the amount of times you’ve unfortunately appeared in this forum.
Do us all a favour and have a few Tiger or Anchor beers in the hot afternoon Singapore sun and drift of to neverland and never come back.

You’ve hit the charts, you’d just about be the biggest jerk who has ever been on this forum since Swellnets inception. AW

JC you come across as bit of a legend in your own lunchbox . Do you think this may have something to do with not being able to get 3 surfers to take up your offer in peak season indo ? Must be a tad embarrassing for you .

@Supa lives in indo, @calhoun.
he doesn't write about his experiences,
he explores, travels and surfs.
finds bragging gauche,
Like most of us.

All hearsay and vague allusions to "knowing things" - like many others, you seem to have an aversion to facts.

When I make claims, I make extra-sure I can back them up.

Images, text materials, passport stamps, etc.

People like you just make vague statements like "I know this and I know that" with NO attribution or confirmation whatsoever.

Basically . . . a load of bullshit.

If you "know so bloody much" as you say - name the location of the video clip I posted.

I already know where it is - do you?

And you can also name all the people that surfed there before we did in February 2024, as the Headman of the village said they had never had surfers in the village before.

As there are no roads or vehicles in the area, there is no way to approach the area other than by sea - and they see (and know) every boat that approaches their area.
