When you plan a surf trip, there are a few important things that should go into it. If it’s waves you’re interested in — which you are, since it’s a surf trip — you’re likely going to have to make a few tough last-minute decisions. Nic von Rupp knows this, and he recently put his years of knowledge in Indonesia to good use.
“People think that scoring good waves is all about showing up and scoring, but it’s a really thin line between actually scoring good waves and spending a ton of money and not getting anything,” he explained. “On the last big south swell, we had to make a tough call between leaving behind pumping 8-10ft Bank Vaults and getting into a seven-hour canoe ride to score some epic Greenbush.”
A tough call for anyone to make, but Nic rolled the dice and it paid off. “It’s those last-minute decisions that make or break it; it’s leaving the comfortable and roaming into the uncomfortable. Was it worth it??? HELL YESS!!!”
