Wed 4th Aug 2010 2:00pmKaundui Swell of the Year

Kaundui's swell of the year. With a huge west swell on the forecast and all eyes on the Padang Padang contest in Bali, it is not a bad time to be located in the Mentawais. It has been a good year to be a regular foot in the Ments with countless south swells and north winds creating endless right-hand barrels. Being a goofyfoot living in the Playgrounds region basically means that I live for the rare day at Kandui Left. 4 months into the season, the rights have been bombing non-stop and even when the wind/swell forecast was good for the lefts, something would always work against it. Whether it was a wind switch or swell drop, nothing had produced anything comparable to the usual Indo barrel perfection that Kandui is known for.
