If Indonesia is the last stop on the line, then it's here, 3,000 kms away to the south, that the swell train pulls into its first station.

During the last XXL swell,Tim Bonython joined Ross Clarke-Jones, Mick Corbett, Zac Haynes, and the local crew for a session that wan't quite right. Not as big as expected, bit too south, winds funky, though it didn't stop RCJ copping a bell ringer, driven so deep his ears popped. See Shot 2 before the bodies hit the floor.

Tim is currently bunkered down somewhere in WA as the Indian Ocean Express gears up for yet another delivery.

All photos by Tim.

Can't even imagine the wipeouts. Last Thursday through Sunday on the westy was big enough for me. They're seriously charging, next level shit!

Ross is no spring chicken anymore. Balls are bigger than his brains!

The volume of water coming down on his head, after he's gone over the falls, is just horrible. It just keeps coming, more like a bloody river than a wave.

Crazy stuff but for these guys looks like a massive blown call staying there rather than hitting Indo

He should hang up his tow rope. I would have been straight out there if I could find my boogie board
