When the doctors got done cutting out the 3/4 of staph-infected skull in Timmy's head in December, 2005, they said he would be a vegetable. They were [more...]very, very wrong. Today, Timmy is directing Albert Taylor over to the left he discovered almost 10 years ago. The memories flood back as if they were yesterday's. Bruno, Brady and Dillon watch the left cautiously as it grinds like lightning over a few inches of reef. Timmy grabs his board and turns to the boys: "We're out there!" he shouts, then jumps overboard. He's not wearing his helmet. He shouldn't even be here. Music: Simple Game - Seth Sentry

On your average Mentawais boat trip these days, you're at sea for 10 nights and you cover about 300 miles. In those 300 miles, you're likely to check [more...]around 13 spots. So are about 16 other surfers at the exact same time. And more often than you would think, one or two of those other surfers are the same guys you see out at your local beachbreak on Saturday mornings. That's the reality in modern Mentawais. Unless, of course, you blow life off and check out for six months on a boat. Then you'll see there's still hope floating out there. Music: Tear The Fences Down - Eulogies Music: 3X - aheadphonehome

On your standard 2-week boat trip, land is just an intangible film reel of white sand, coconut palms and distant mountains flickering on by. On your s [more...]tandard boat trip, you pass by at least one perfect wave a day because it's just too difficult to reach by boat under such cramped time constraints. On your standard boat trip, it's real easy to forget what you're missing over there on shore. Hence the beauty of this mission. On land or off, there are no rules. Every wave is important, just as every person and place along the way is too. Music: The Royal We - Silversun Pickups

Chalk one up for Tin Boat. It won't be the last. It's been a grueling leg of Tip 2 Tip for Brady, Garut and Ricardo: the weather, the treks overland.. [more...]. the waiting. As the Quest 1 sits in deeper water, licking her wounds after copping a pounding across the Lombok Strait and on westward, Albert zings Tin Boat into every tight corner, snooping and peeking, hoping and wishing. And then he's on the radio, telling the boys the weird, but good, news. It sure don't look like Indo, but... oh, it's Indo. Music: Golden Halo, by PVT
