If you asked every surfer what is top of their bucket list, I can guarantee most would tell you that they’d like to score warm water barrels, more than likely on their forehand, with hardly anyone around other than a friend or two.
During his time riding through Indonesia on a motorbike, Tom de Souza seemed to have lucked out on multiple occasions, not always scoring the conditions that he had hoped for.
However, seek and you shall find. Tom’s persistence eventually pays off and in his new edit from the Indonesian Motorcycle Diaries he finds himself trading big right hand tubes with Tai Buddha at an off grid location. A bucket list venture ticked off.
‘I imagined empty, pumping waves when I set out on this adventure, but truth be told it has so far been defined by waiting, boredom, frustration, crowds, loneliness, and alienation. I’m starting to question if it’s all worth it – when I stumble across this wave, with only one other out,’ said Tom.
