Shameless Name dropping...

So this update, about a month overdue, is a bit long but I'll try to fill you in on what's going one here. First for those of you that don't know, I've finished my volunteering and decided to stay (somewhat indefinitely) and work for the organization that I volunteered with. However, do to visa issues the project coordinator had to go home until August so I'm trying to run things until he gets back. It was a bit hectic over the first few weeks but now I'm beginning to figure things out and everything is returning to normal. 


Also in other news Indonesia is experiencing the swell of the season. It's been around 2-3 times overhead with occasional quadruple overhead sets rolling in. It's been incredible and has kept up like this for over a week now and will go at least until the weekend. This means two things, first the surf has been unreal, second, everyone and their mother has come to Indonesia to surf. It's been pretty crazy to look down a line up and see the likes of Mick Fanning (former ASW world Champ)  Pepen Hindrix (the first ISC winner) or David Rasta. So apologies for the blatant name dropping, I'm just kinda I wide-eyed east coast kid out there and I still have to pinch myself when I see guys like that in the water.
