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.

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!
That last shot is terrifying.
Shit yeah thats evil
and a assym towboard.
I think the swallow tail has been repaired white rather than assym when zoomed up close (i thought the same thing at first)

Can we please see the rest of the sequence of RCJ's wave in the 2nd shot?
(Not that I enjoy seeing people getting severely fucked up!!!)
Here's the vid:
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
A 3 wave Hold Down at the 'Right' ..blood coming from your ears and nose ..a blackout..
