Hello friends, if you tough I did it all you were wrong!

When I see something new I have to DO it...

The ultimate crazy nest in the world of SUP is to take on rivers with white water rapids. Just the time to put my hand on an inflatable SUP and I was ready to go. Thanks to SOBEK rafting and their team of guides to provide me with assistance for this latest adventure. So much fun and I think you can see it from the pictures.

Hello friends,

the Bore Fever is stronger then ever!!!! Just recently I came across the news of another River Tidal wave this time on the island of Borneo, exactly at the small city of Sri Amman.

The Batang Lupar river rate n. 4 in the world for this incredible phenomenon! The wave is not as big or as long as the Bono but there are many super nice sections and the place is fantastic!!!

All pics thanks to our friend Abdillah of Abadi Photography www.facebook.com/fan.abadiphotography

Hello friends,

after so long I finally went to ride Balian in the occasion of the Ben Wilson Accelerator Wave Camps.

In the morning Balian scene looked quite magic! Waves over head to double over head were rolling in and breaking nicely.

I always thought that Balian was a busy spot but all the surfers were in the inside and we were taking off so far away.

A really incredible spot for SUP one of the best in Bali.

Hello friends,

another month is pass and I just receive some nice pictures of couple of Brazilian friends that spent some time with us in Bali.

Ricardo and Julio (Maddog) have been ripping all over the island.

They rented few boards from us and we shared good waves in Serangan. But their favorite playground was Uluwatu...

Thank you guys for the beautiful pictures and see you next year.

Great success at the Bali International Triathlon, with more then 350 participants from all over the world. The Winner was Mr. Luke McKenzie from Australia that finish in just over 2 hours giving with over 15 minutes to the 2nd qualified.

Our SUP team was there and did a great job! We had to intervene to bring to safety 3 swimmer and to help few more to get to the end.

There were a bit of a shore break and we spent time riding the small rolling waves and showing a bit of what SUPS is all about.

In all it was a super experience and we will be there next year.

I got "da" scoop.... Starboard SUP rider and designer Scott McKercher spent  some time with us here in Bali for equipment testing and photo shooting.

Funny is that when I went to pick them up at the airport with the SUP mobile he found out that his picture is on the side of my car!!

Lucky for me I had the chance to test the new models but I can't really say anything or they will kill me..

I even had to Photoshop some of the images to hide the new boards look... Sorry! they are amazing but still top secret....

Thanks to Margareta Engstrom for the photos.

And here we are again, the waves season is started nicely. Good sized swell are pounding our shores! This is how Oka Point is been behaving for the last 5 days... I would say just magic!!

This are the biggest waves I have been riding so far.

My Bonga 10'0 is so sweet that I'm in love.

Hello friends, wow.... last 4 days we have been hitting Hyatt reef, a wave that frankly I thought was too much to handle for us.

But I was wrong!!! See the images and judge by yourself.

Also starring our local Hero Oka Sulaksana on his 2nd day on a SUP!!! He is already showing the difference between a real champion and us common mortal.  Photos by Moleh.
