Bleronk on this one. This was the last wave I shot of this session. Light rain, ominous skies, and fairly glassy. While Bleronk and crew kept getting slotted, I kept getting pounded to the shallow sand bar/reef bottom by these little barrels. Pretty much after every good set the current would drag me away, I'd have to swim in, then work my way back over to Diah and the boys. Diah, a young gal from Seminyak surfs out here, and this was her first time trying it at really low tide.

Ryan Turner brought his wife and two young kids on this trip. His daughter is in diapers still, and his son is about five. At low tide many local people from the nearby village would roam the reef looking for food. I'm guessing sea cucumbers mainly, but not really sure. Kids and adults would go out there. While Ryan was out in the water surfing, his two kids would get right out there on the reef with their pink and yellow plastic buckets and sand shovels and try to look for sea creatures with all the locals. They fit right in, and they took their job really seriously!
