[PT-Rifles Day One]


Day one ... Epic© 2009 - Kandui



RIFLE'S, one of the Mentawai Islands' fastest and longest barrels, when it's on but it is a hard wave to get good. Either the wind is good, but the swell is not the right angle and it passes by. Or it’s bombing 8 foot Hawaiian, but the winds are gale force onshore, like when Andy and Kelly were here last season. (That would have been the session of the decade if the winds would have been right) So I didn’t have high hopes when we saw the swell on the forecasts. I’m thinking wrong angle, not big enough, bad winds… But it’s got to happen sometime and this was the time. Late March brought home the goods. Our swell came in at the right angle and it was bigger than we had hoped with waves going 4 feet overhead or so. The wind gods were on our side and it went offshore about midday, just as the swell was getting more consistent and maxing in size, and there was not a charter boat in sight. It was just us sharing waves and hooting each other in. We even broke out the jet ski and took turns pulling in early and deep. Everyone got sick barrels and we surfed until dark.
