Surprisingly, this spot does not appear to be over run by snobby americans trying to 'live the dream'

yeah but it's good to see some "healthy"carnage from time to time...it breaks the monotony when it's good.everyone loves watching people eat it!

mr Lux mate, you shouldnt tell a skinny little dude like slycat fresh from ankle snappers to go surfing here. that wave would snap skinny dude then drown him. like dirty harry says, "A mans got to know his limitations"

hey slycat,your're right.this spot isn't over-run by anyone and the camp(secret sumatra.com)that sits on it's doorstep is a quality set up that caters for keen surfers of all varieties.There's awesome waves all up and down this region and the crew that run this place will get you amongst it with ease.I have been to many surf camp setups and rate this camp very highly for quality and value for money.Its a fair slog to get to it but it's worth it!

Backdoor the s**t out of that! What a perfect set up...... And only a 45minute flight from my city of residence. No prizes for guessing where im headed next week.

Taking the right means going uphill which makes the ride longer + the barrel wider! the left however ....

Fuggit! Just tilt your head a little bit and the "straight horizon issue" is moot. The photo definitely provides inspiration and nostalgia to any surfer who has ever enjoyed nice glassy overhead tropical perfection.....and yes, we want more thank you.

Hey its a great shot...nice wave etc but serioulsly as humans we like things to be level, straight, perpedicular etc....if it was level I would consider framing a pic like this and putting on my wall, but its not, so I never will...and I suspect neither would most people...just my opinion.

hey Oriel, you sure you're not German.., straight lines, level, vertical, perpedicular, horizontal, correct spelling, anal, uptight, boxed, squared away, blinkered, ordered and perfect? No offence to any German folk (some of my best friends are German) and I'd rather not mention the war BUT, that is why you lost, 'cause you had trouble thinking out of the box and we knew it. Anyway, all this time and space wasting going on with needless comments about unimportant things, it was quite recently discovered that the universe is in all likelihood finite, so there is limited space in our world, including the virtual electronic world, so very long and meaningless messages are going to have to be reigned in. The world is imperfect. Without imperfections there would be no tides, no seasons, no storms and no waves. In fact, we wouldn't exist at all if it weren't for chaos. 3 cheers for chaos then.., and sloping horizons, and one breast bigger than the other, and other imperfect stuff. Just my opinion.

Someone much wittier than me said: "Don't trust anybody who'd rather be grammatically correct than have a good time". Substitute grammar for straight-horizon-spotters, and go have fun.

ah dude! its so uneven! I wont even put it as my computer desktop background and I doubt anyone else will.

the fact it isn't level or symmetrical adds dimensions to the picture, especially coupled with the fence sloping in the opposite direction. It's brilliant bra

you're missing the point dude. look at the wave, not the endless checklist of why a picture isn't perfect... id much rather have a snap of a moment of magic than a measured out stage. just my opinion ;)

You`ll be pleased to hear Mr Lux, that the background is still not straight, hooray for not selling out, high fiiiive!

hey PPP enough with the spirit level! and Yak don't paddle out too far ya bound to fall off!
yak Jan 21, 2011 Rating: 0
I thought this argument had been won several centuries ago. No the horizon is not straight. This is because the world is not flat...
luke sullivan Jan 21, 2011 Rating: -1
hey the horizon's straight,does this mean it's overlooked by those with a keen eye for art or have I sold out?
luke sullivan Jan 21, 2011 Rating: 1
hey slackerdude,yer right.just crooked enough to get some bites and any framer could correct the tilt when framing it.I know,I am a framer and have framed this print a few times already and it looks sweet as!

I don't know man. I got out my level and it looks like you might be off by about .03 degrees...
