Yes, the unsung surfers are really the heart of surfing. We see way too much of the WSA pro surfing. I prefer to hear about a guy like Larry that goes back to G-Land all those years. Great work putting this together 🏄‍♂️

Inspirational stuff. Most guys when they’re 20 don’t realise 75% of their mates won’t be surfing when they’re 40. A few make it to 65. This guy is the exception. Wow!

@B D Because of injury. (see my other post on this page) And your question, this question, is spot on. We all need to ask why, why can't I continue surfing.

@artsurfliteratura 2 года назад

This guy is responsible for me riding the best wave of my life in 2010 in G land. I was scared to go because it was my first day surfing there. Then he yelled goooooooo! so i decided to go on it, and that was it, an unforgettable backside tube in a 10 foot wave, followed by a very long ride. If he happens to read this comment I just want to say thank you. 🙌🏾🌟💥

First met Larry in the jungle in 08, I was 12 years old. He was an Inspiration to me back then. Present day I see him in the same place every year surfing some of the best waves I've ever surfed, and usually he'll get one of the best waves of the day and ride it to perfection. I always appreciate his advice, very intelligent dude.

@vickryan 2 года назад

Love this video. That is inspiring. My main comment is this, he says the hardest part is (the thing that limits you, the limiting factor) is paddling back out. I fully agree. Too much paddling is how I tore a muscle in my back. So now in my 40s I am forced to quit surfing. So it's not about AGE, it is about INJURY. That is the key issue. So, he says he paddles for 4-5 miles, to strengthen himself. But too much paddling is what injured my back muscle. So be careful!!! I think that is my msg here. Don't over-do it.

@SurfRawFiles 2 года назад

Thanks Ryan for watching, I hope you can get back to the water soon!

I met this guy in 1987 at G-Land. I spent two week in June and two weeks in July there in 1987. Bobby had a deal back then if you bought 3 weeks he gave you a 4th week free. I think the cost for those 4 weeks was only $300, I forget, I know it was not more than $400. I went to Indo five seasons in all but never went back to G-Land after that trip. I found Hu'u before that and kept going back there. Lakey Peak with no one out back then pretty much. The locals did not surf back then, and Hu'u was relatively unknown and uncrowded compared to what I experienced at G-Land that season.

@SurfRawFiles 2 года назад

@GlennLaguna 2 года назад

@@SurfRawFiles Back then it seemed crowded and competitive out in the water for my liking. The total number of guys on the point fluctuated between 20 and I think probably 80 during my last week(s) in June. And during my last week there I remember it seemed all 80 out in the water at the same time, spread out of course. There were two camps Bobby’s and JoJos and no road into the camp, only boating in from across the bay. Two questions… Is there a road all the way into the camps these days? And, how much is a weeks stay?

@@GlennLaguna Yes ,nowdays you can go with the boat from Bali/kuta reef , we stayed 4-5 days for 450us all inclusive at bobby's. There is also a way to go on the road from Bali with Ferry and driving,which is cheaper but longer. I think there are accoms now also for 20-30 us per day (without meal)..
