Surf continues to be at a 5 year record lameness for what is supposed to be peak season.
The other day the nice Israeli couple I've been hanging out with and I took a boat to Daku island across from where we are staying. There is a wave there that works with a bigger swell and Ryan, our Australian guide, said it might work with paddleboards. So we packed the boat with snorkeling gear, surfboards and stand up paddleboards--ready for anything. When we arrived, the wave was kind of mushy but we actually had a hilarious time on the standups in the soft waist to chest high waves that rolled through (Greg B: Don't hate the player, hate the game). It was like learning to surf again and we had some amusing collisions and frequent wipeouts.
After, we landed on the island, which had one of the most pristine "I'm in a postcard" beaches I've ever seen. There was a small village on the island, about 600 people. No electricity. Pigs, chickens, dried octopus. Very simple life.
