Surf Trip Around the world (pics)
I have been inspired by many on this board to travel the world and ski. I have recently been very inspired by my Uncle who is currently on an around the world surf trip.
Last year the company he worked for was bought out and his division (he was 2nd highest) was shut down as well. Since he worked there forever he got a sweet severence package and said hell I've always wanted to go around the world and surf and I'm doing it! He bought an around the world ticket and was off. The great part about this story is his company is still paying him (where do I sign up!?)
Anyway he's been sending me some pics from Indo and I thought I'd share. The following are from West Java and G-Land.

The following are in West Java at a place called Ombak Tujuh, translated as "seven waves", apparently it peaks in seven different places depending on the tide and swell direction.
