Busy times...

Well we've been pretty busy the last two days here in Reunion! Yesterday started off with a super early rise to make our way up this massive mountain range, we only got out of first gear a couple times due to the windiness of the road.. But it was well worth the mission, we overlooked pretty much the whole of Reunion from our vantage point, was so sick, seemed like something out of Lord of the Rings with the valleys and mountains, was really a cool experience, one which I was hesitating to do before but was glad I did it when I was there. Then made our way over to St Pierre for a surf, pretty fun waves , a rippable right wedgy wave, but had a fair few crew on it.

Today was a pretty solid day shooting/filming wise... 3 surfs, one pretty long one at St Leu in the morning, fun cause the swell had just started to build and you could kinda get a glimpse at what this left had to offer. 2nd surf was at a sick left barrel, full on 6 ft freight trains, kinda reminded me of cloudbreak, but we got totally hassled beyond belief by the 7 boogie boarders out there, 10 of us all together in the lineup, and only 7 getting waves, was so messed up. We moved over to the right across the reef pass, i pretty much got the worst beating I've had in over two years, Dan broke his board, a water photog broke his camera and pretty much a waste of time...

3rd surf was at this crazy right that apparently you're not allowed to surf at cause it's a national park, which was quite unique. It definitely has potential, couple solid ones started coming in towards the end of the surf with the swell finally arriving . Dale broke his board here, couple barrels had and all in all a solid day at the office.. Haha you probably thinking, 3 surfs, hard day at the office..please, you probably right but I'm pretty knackered writing this now, swell looks good for tomorrow and I'm sure we're in for a few more days like this last...

Here's a pic from the mountains...

See ya
