[PT-Intro]





ON a mission south from the Telo Islands to the Mentawai: Adam Ravazzano, aka Greenroom, photographer and gentleman adventurer, takes on the next stage of our Indo Diaries. Using the ancient tradition of 'barter' Adam jumped several rungs up the social-economic scale and hopped aboard the Freedom 3 for an Indo boat trip in style. Above is Lee Clarke, charter captain, reaping the rewards of the job.


I still remember the look on his face after pulling off the back after making this tube, says Adam, he just looked me in the eye and we knew I had something. After looking at the sequence Lee pondered, "I wonder how the pros look so casual when they tube ride..."

I think the look on his face and the position of his board deep on the foamball says it all."

Went through the Telo's in '93 with a couple of mates on a fishing boat chartered from Telo. In 10 days we surfed 11 unchartered waves some good, some epic, didn't see another soul. That was before the days of charter yachts, which in my opinion have ruined the spirit of surf adventure and givin those who haven't earned it access to some of the best kept secrets and rewards of surf adventure.

I do know what you mean, you put the time in, learn Bahasa Indonesian get out to some remote outer island perfect waves in the middle of nowhere, and, hello there's half a dozen boats full of surfers....still, they have 11 days, i have months and they miss out on the rest of the experience, you go for the waves but at the end of the day, its so much more, hanging, eating and living with the locals, money cant buy that.
