  • Bodyboarders find themselves alone (for the most part) on a tricky, deep ocean slab. The sets were unpredictable and hard to read on this day - but they sent it all the same!

    Bodyboarding / surfing waves on reefs, in remote locations around Australia and Bali. I love both novelty and big waves! With everything that's going on in the world right now, there's nothing like getting into some waves and surf to take us away from it all. Self-isolation in some deep barrels is a valid way of social distancing!
    I love exploring new waves in new locations and I love bring my viewers along my journey. Sometimes it get's sketchy as some of the waves I surf (shallow reefs, dry reefs, deep ocean slabs) get pretty gnarly.

    UPDATE ON WILLY: I cannot personally be 100% sure and I live a long way away from Australia to empirically find out, but but I will share a little research I finished yesterday. For the past three months I've been trying to find out about Willy messaging just about everybody on FB, anyone, emailing the very Willy on his address, and anyone who might have met him or known him. A guy I found who actually appears on several of Willy's videos, a great local veteran bodyboarder, who knew him from seeing him around in and out of the water, replied to me after checking with other local bodyboarders and good buddies, and they all confirmed he passed away, some time after posting this video. The cause is unknown to me. I bet his family or anyone on Willy's side would have wanted to notify us all, but I thought everyone would like to know and send their prayers to him after what I found out.
    I always hoped to ask Willy to come to my Canary Islands for a vlog of his, he seemed like a scared kinda clumsy really bad LOL 😢bodyboarder but he always expelled a great vibe of humanity and good person aura that I will always remember and always was what kept me sticked to his videos through and through. I am dearly sorry to know this news and I am personally mourning him quietly and weirdly. He kinda leaves a vacuum in me, just for not being around alone.
    I send my deepest condolences to his family and prayers, and deep down I want to believe that this is not true, but I believe this fellow I talked to yesterday, he seems legit and I trust him.
    RIP WILLY 💓

There is a large trench that leads to the cave on the north side of the slab. But I typically circumnavigate the slab when I dive there. Far off to the east the bottom drops away with a big wall. That's where the sharks tend to frequent.

      GB Sailing I guessed it was voo doo , not that I ever surfed up there , back in the early eighties we were up there on dirt bikes riding the dunes and checked out voo doo and on the day it was a solid three to four metres with Jim banks and and a few other guys out there charging the huge lefts !
