Mate, i hit Lombok in the 90's Forget Bali take the Mabua express to Lombok they said. Best decision i ever made. Thank you for the memories. So beautiful.
Wow.... The early 80's were probably the best time for a Free surfer backpacker to be alive : Music, cheap "morning price", fried noodles for quarter of a $ penny, no fights at the lineup or noisy and rich speedboats surf tour reaching G-Land in 2h from their fancy resorts on molested Uluwatu hills and Bukit. In 2024, if i had to choose for a wild and more lonely surftrip experience, i would explore all the Java south coast (skipping G-land) and following the cost until Sumatra. Probably best option these days if you want to avoid the crowds and not afraid by the unknown powerful waves, sharks, reef, and strong current (no jets, paddle only , hazardous cliffs and rocky jumps to reach the lineups). No resorts, plenty of fisherman's villages. Cons: Not always roads, far from any hospital, no 🏧, have to hide your cash in the bush before paddle out. Pack light but still carry first motobike repair, equipments for camping. Trucks drivers if you have to leave the cost on bigger roads are really deadly ✅🤙🏻🌏
really cool video, i cant help notice one thing though - maybe its the type of board they are riding, or its how we perceive style differently now versus 40 years ago - but these surfers look kinda... average? like you could nowadays go to any pumping break in Indonesia and see several surfers that are way more technical and fluid than these guys... i know im gonna get a lot of hate for this comment, but you know it to be true

Went to Lombok in 89,jumped off the Anne Judith 2 and surfed DP'S with 8 in the water,good memories .
Larry was a beast; perfectly suited to those boards
Man, what an experience that must have been...thanks for posting.
It was awesome to see the guys back in the day
was there in 1980. The true surf adventure. Crash course in the local lingo and found our waves around Bangko Bangko.

What a film ❤
Went to Bali in 1974, went back in 1991, was better in 74 😎
It's literally a gem
I guess they didn't know about Desert Point.
If was an ALL EXPENSE PAID id be at the bar mate.😊
Terrible choice. A shitty bintang over getting spat out of the barrel of a life time @@buzz5969
Not in 1981 they didn’t. Lombok was a new frontier back then.
One Bondi boy to another, RIP Brad.....

Shame they didn't find Deserts - ive sufed a few to the east of Muta
Classic
I can't work out where 'Wizards reef' is, I have surfed all the others..
My best guess is Ekas
shroom pizza 🎉
They discovered grovelly Gerupuk 😂
There's no long left in Gerupuk Bay. That cliff backround is weird, I thought Siwak.
@@pukmeLMC28 also an old clip so not easy to tell where
Not gerupuk at all
Terrible waves by indo standards
