Global warming???.....What a joke. We, as a species, can't even keep a couple of beaches from catastrophe. How the fuck are we gonna protect a WHOLE PLANET?

Also went to Karinas right after that
No probs man:) If your on a "voyage" then, i want on board,lol
Yep, ive seen a couple of "follow me" types, getting one of them too..when their finally available. They will pass laws for sure, but they wont stop them..i hope:)
Sailing, is THE best way to surf Indo, hundreds of prime breaks..nobody there:) Nias is THE most underdeveloped break ive found, even after 35 years, its only achieved a very small industry based on surf. While places like "the Mentawai"s" have been fucked completely, Nias stays remote and quiet most of the year! The Mozzies have a big hand in this. Cerebrsal Malaria is no joke, itr can kill you in days, and back then it was three days to a Hospital in Medan. Now you can fly from Medan, and drive to the bay, much easier than a ferry, then a small boat all the way doiwn round to Lagrundri! It can get a bit crowded during peak season, well, i would"nt call it crowded:/ "Relatively" crowded compared to 35 years ago:/ There is a lot do see if its flat[rare] too! It is the "perfect", wave, no doubt:)
Basically..We are doomed:/ So enjoy it while it lasts:) Nias is the best, most predictable wave ive come across. When its really perfect, its glass cylinders up to 15 feet, 7 seconds deep in the barrel on a good one. Very shallow[more so since the tsunami uplift of the reef], but machine perfect, spinning down the reef. Paddle out with a ciggie f you want, its that easy... love the place:) On google earth, you can zoom right in on Lagrundi bay, and see its perfect setup in action!
Probably, but they would be talking about the total mess we have made of this planet,lol...and the waste..greed etc:)
I dunno man, people are a pretty fucked up bunch in general,lol..In one way or another:/
The Australian Aborigines are the same in that they naturally are a nomadic people and not homemakers - I respect their culture, it's just that I think each race has evolved differently with it's own inert way of being...
There is a saying that if you divided up all the money in the world evenly and handed it out equally to the population then after while it would end up in the same hands... I think the same for races of people... if you divided the world up into neat parcels of land with the same climate and resources and gave each country a fresh and equal start I believe they would probably end up in the same condition (over time)...
Just as races are different in appearances with some exceptions to the rule I believe the same about the brain, I think it is also similar in nature with exceptions to the rule (if that makes any sense)...
True to some extent:(. They dont seem to have much pride in their environment. It looks that way to us, but they know nothing different to compare it to.. Living in a bamboo hut, with a dirt floor, but check out the kids going to school in Thailand for example...immaculate!!! Spotlessly clean in their uniforms!! Its a strange contradiction...I just dont get it, pride in appearance, but not their environment:/
Good work, Can I join you guys? I cant get any comms out cause im behind gov monitoring for emailing world embassies.
This message will probably get deleted.

The other alternative is a departure tax that is administered by a third party from the government, who fixes the problem for them or start paying the people in tourism first world wages.

The song "All I Got" By Nick Handley
You guys probably never thought of it that way...because thats no fun anymore.
And why all this...because surfing is fun...Fuck that.
Stop surfing if you really care
please
The only solution is to burn the rubbish. Show them how to do it safely...problem solved
Translation, he says why the hooks and nets are bad for the turtles. Keep up the good work.
