I've live in Bali almost 6 years now and I consider it my dry-season gym. Uluwatu is different than other Bali waves. It's transparent and long with many tube sections depending on the tide and the swell dimension, but it's also just fun to surf around 3ft, even though it's still a bit challenging. Here's Stosh Lindsey racing through one.
It was August 15, 2017 when I captured this photo. The swell had a perfect corner but it was not enough to make pictures from the water possible, so I decided to climb on a cliff to find the ideal location and take some shots.
From Imperial Rome on August 15, it was considered a day of rest, celebrating the end of agricultural work started by Emperor Augustus in 18 BC.
I am Roman so I have always celebrated this day with relatives and friends, only this year I wanted to celebrate from behind my camera.
This is Jamie O'Brien at his home spot. It's definitely the most amazing wave I have ever seen. The 20th of January 2017 was my first session at Pipeline and I will remember it for a lifetime.
Also called the land of fire by the Timanfaya National Park, Lanzarote is a spectacular island for its volcanic landscapes and its powerful and heavy waves. Large swells from the West and North West, striking violently on the northwest coast of the island. This wave, called "Izquierda," is frequented by surfers and bodyboarders.
I found this wave in 2008 and it's always been in my heart since. The perfection of the wave and the geometry of the barrels makes it among the most beautiful in the Mentawais. I have traveled often among these lost islands, immersed in the Indian Ocean of Sumatra. These are unspoiled islands still rich in vegetation and fish - an ocean so blue even the human eye does not distinguish where the sky and the sea meet.
