14TH ANNUAL SURFTIME AWARDS
A
lthough one’s life is not defined by the awards one receives, it sure helps. And with the 14th Annual Surftime Awards we were so very proud to celebrate the best of Indonesian Surf Culture and shower our awards over our community once again. More a gathering than just a party, the Surftime Awards not only signifies the end of our publishing year, but of all the fantastic achievements of its past year. Your past year. And this year’s awards were spectacular. For all of you that were there, for all of you who read this magazine, for all of our industry family that keep it vital and alive and especially to our sharpshooting team of professional photographers…thank you for being part of the Surftime Family. Our Indonesian family. In these pages we publish our honor roll of 2017 with pride and with the hope that these winners will inspire generations to come to strive,
article that features Taj Burrow, Rio Waida, Mitsua Tanaka and Teiki Balian charging giant Lance’s rights. And from our opinion page, we get to hear from Stuart Nettle, director of Swellnet.com, as he asks the question, just what is all the paid content surfing articles we read online doing not only to our sport, but to our minds? And of course we always bring you spectacular images in our gallery section and a meditation on the relationship between surfing Fathers and Sons in our always anticipated Close-out section. So we bring you this varied issue, that begins with awards and ends with a family thought, as a portent to our next year of adventure together. With the internet dehumanizing all of us more and more, it is our hope that this publication, something real, something you can hold in yours hands, a public, permanent record of our moments together, will grow in
to achieve, to uphold the proud traditions of the Indonesian spirit of surfing. A spirit unlike any other in the world. Of course this month’s issue does not stop there. We have an excerpt from a longread article on Canggu’s blast off into the stratosphere, quoted as the “Most outlandish surf community on earth”. A reputation well earned, as you will soon read. Then, staff photographer Everton Luis takes us into the depths of crystal clear Mentawai. Shooting Craig Anderson, Alex Knost, Bryce Young and Ozzie Wright entirely from underwater. A staggering portfolio of visions from our underwater Universe. Not to be outdone, another staff photographer, Liquid Barrel, ventured into unknown Java with an all-Indonesian crew and returned with photos as mysterious as the Island itself. And we also received an extraordinary portfolio from Staff Photographer Nobu Fuku in an
worth in all of our minds. Because it is Magazines like this, permanent published records, that are so much more lasting than a swipe to the left or right. This magazine is a physical treasure trove that will tell the tale of our lives here long after the latest snapchat has been deleted. We write about and photograph the people who appear on phone screens, not the observers in front of them. And those people behind the screens are you. Stick with us for another year. Because there is no such thing as public opinion. Only published opinion. -Editor-

The 14th Annual Surftime Awards: A Night to (try and) Remember Photography by Malaria House and Andrew Myers
A
s exclusive as The Lawn in Canggu may look from the outside, it still manages a very organic, tribal vibe on the inside. And the 14th Annual Surftime awards, held there on September 22nd was just that. More of a family gathering than an awards night, this assembly of the best and brightest of our surfing community was at once a joyous, raucous and very, very loud affair. Underneath The Lawn’s umbrellas and upstairs on the VIP deck, our surfing community had a big night. Freeflow from Wild Turkey, Skyy Vodka and Bintang made sure of that. The awards themselves were a simple affair this year, but the trophies were spectacular. The authentic Wayang puppet trophies that have become part of the Surftime Legacy were a big hit. All in all, a great night for our Surfing Community. An important night that serves to remind us all what a remarkable family we belong to here in Indonesia. What a remarkable tribe we are part of. And what a remarkable environment we all get to share here in one of the most magical places on earth.

EAT, PRAY, SURF Sounds Bites From Bali’s Freedom Frontier By Matt George • Photography by Josh Symon
Blerong Dharma Putra and friend. Old and new at once, the waves of Canggu are Bali’s playground. Where young and old, girl and boy, local and visitor, can find a piece of the Bali dream without having to risk their lives on the death barrels that have made Indonesia so famous. This creates a both a symbiosis and a friction between all parties. Yet in a moment like this, a western Veteran of 40 years of surfing, can still appreciate a young local ripping through the line-up. Most veterans don’t realize that those young locals are not an irritant, but their legacy. 24

(The following are excerpts from the longread article to be published in The Atlantic Monthly Magazine in the USA) (Excerpt #1)
C
anggu is all on it’s own. Once an outpost, now a surfing colony, it’s been cut off. The natural disaster known as tourism and development, combined with a total lack of subsequent infrastructure, has resulted in a geographical isolation due to snarled traffic. From Kuta to Canggu, a bad best of an hour of breathing near pure carbon monoxide, this traffic is a result of a massive exodus of adventurers, scoundrels, criminals and vegans who have forged Canggu into the most outlandish surfing community in the world. Astonishingly, usurping the Holy Grail of Uluwatu
and the as Bali’s prime surf destination. Canggu has morphed into a miasma of every surfing creed, color and philosophy drawn to its perceived promised land of cool where any surfer on earth can re-invent themselves. And all of this minus the symmetrical blue offshore dream tunnels that has made Indonesia every surfer’s fantasy. Canggu, a hot, cool, sexy beachbreak zone with brown silty rice paddy run-off seas. A surf zone that is a trampoline park for aerialists and a Renaissance Faire for retro riders. Canggu, the petri dish of re-discovered western grooviness, art, fashion, food and multi-nation sexual opportunity. But despite its being ground zero for the surfing hipster movement, the prime destination of the diaspora of those who long for the “way we were”, Canggu is now reaching a critical mass. Like a run-over Ibiza with rice, a
place like this can only maintain its cool for so long. And the rumblings of over saturation are approaching fast from the horizon like dark cumulonimbus.
Despite the maniacal development that shrouds Canggu under a permanent shadow of construction cranes, her waves of equal opportunity have attracted more and more females into the line-ups. And the new generation of local girls are eating it up. Summa Longbottom, coming into her own at the sandbar.
Top: Where once Holy Mt. Agung used to spew forth the rivers of Lava that gave the land its fertility, now dump trucks spew rivers of concrete to bury it. Bottom: Agus Gunanta Corok and Nyoman Satria, up from Padma, stoked to be sharing the waves of what can be a very sexy line-up.

“Why has Canggu become what it is? Because it looks so easy to live here. But it isn’t. You gotta be somebody with something, anything, to offer...or it just doesn’t work”. “Longboarding was great in the waves out here so it attracted that crowd and the alternative board crowd. And these are generally creative people who make creative commitments beyond the thruster crowd. It caused a Renaissance of alternative surfing and alternative thinking”.
“Its hard to talk about it. Talking about the bad things of all this tourism will never end, but it’s good for our local people business. Lot’s of money from everybody in the world. But at night, its a bit too much now. It disturbs the spirits. The spirits used to whisper, now they have to yell to be heard”. “We found naked people (translated: fornicating) in our temple on the beach. We beat them with bamboo poles. Or people peeing on the Temple walls. We bring them to the
police. Would you find that in a church back in Germany or Russia or wherever they come from? Bali people are welcoming, but not to arrogant people”. As I stepped outside after our talk, I thought of that necessary silence Ayok spoke of. Now it seems the soundtrack to Canggu is club music and jackhammers. I looked across a dusty, litter strewn parking lot to yet another club.
On any day, especially when aerialists like Blerong Dharmaputra are in the line-up, Echo Beach becomes what is now nicknamed “The Rampoline Park”. Funny nickname or no, the airs are still world class.
This one, with a cowboy theme, that features sexy local women apparently swinging from the roof on saddles. Next door to that an old building is being demolished. The rumored site of Canggu’s first McDonalds. (Excerpt #4) DRAINAGE It’s an innocent looking place. Until you look closer. Urban, hotel, business and field drainage in Canggu is ancient and open and pungent and runs parallel to most of the sides of the narrow roads here. There are no kerbs. These ditches run anywhere from 3 to six feet deep and they wreak havoc with the endless flow of scooters, custom motorcycles, Taxi’s, Uber’s and giant SUV’s that
snake around what’s left of the rice paddies. Get beered up and get loose in some gravel as a first time scooter pilot and it’s over. Usually a trip to the hospital and then home. If your lucky. Gerhard Engelbrecht wasn’t. A friend of mine. A good natured South African photographer and full time philosopher. He was not a tall man, but he looked it. Long sunburnt hair, unkempt goatee, startling clear eyes. And that strong accent. A good surfer and an even better photographer, Gerhard was loved here. And seemed to embody what Canggu was all about for the less wealthy live-in Expats. Fit, cool talking, cool looking, connected to the place. Peaceful. Good company. The kind of guy that no matter how tough you think you were, you could not help but smile when you saw him. The locals called him friend. Not boss, like alot of
the rest of us. Right down to his love beads and his cutbacks, he was part of Canggu. And like most here, he was not afraid of late, late night beers at any of the late, late night clubs. Come to think of it, like most South Africans, I don’t think he was afraid of anything. Except maybe love.
Top: I Gede Arya Eka Wira (Ayok) Dharma, Deus Team rider, member of the Canggu Surf Community Boardriders, Top local Surfer, Surfboard rental owner, activist, dreamer. Accepting the new age with a grain of salt. Right: Tipi Jabrik, still ripping after all these years. One thing can be said about Canggu, thanks to the constantly changing run off, one never knows just what color the water will be.
He seemed to have been having alot of trouble in that department. Only God knows why. He was hippie handsome. Nonetheless, on the 12th of February, 2016, like a warning shot across its bow, horrific news spread through the Canggu community. In the very early hours, Gerhard had been found dead. Under his motorcycle, in the ditch that runs smack dab through the main drag. A catastrophic crash. It was easy to see how it could happen, considering the chaos of the night life here and the total lack of road rules. Its part of the charm of the place. The thing is, nobody thought it could happen like this. Not in a place like this. Not to him. Not to them. Not to anybody. But it can. And it did. There was a brief flurry of dark rumors, of a love triangle gone bad, a promise unfullfilled, money issues with the wrong people, the booze, the sun, the weather, the language, the rules…any number of things that can get any expat into real trouble here. The things that can drain you
like a harvested rice paddy. The things that drain you. From as small as a mosquito to as big as a neck cracking motorcycle crash. The things that can drain you, tire you, if you choose to wander and settle far from your birth home. One has to remember that in Bali. Always. You don’t live here. You survive here. You don’t have any rights. Just privileges. And any broken local trusts can put you in enough trouble to send you reeling for the airport. Or worse. But none of these dark rumors really stuck on Gerhard Engelbrecht. Memories of his smile eroded them within a week. Probably just another great night, full of laughter, sorrow and beer. And a drainage ditch on the way home. This ditch. Waiting like fate in the eastern glow of another drunken Bali dawn. So here I was, a year and a half later, just outside the Deus Temple of Enthusiasm. Surrounded by the traffic and the construction and the growth of Canggu churning out its mighty business of tourist commerce. I was looking down into an ancient ditch that
has run through this patch of land for hundreds of years. The place where my friend died. That warning shot I mentioned? It slowed things way down for about a week here in Canggu. People went home earlier, drank less for awhile. Oh, it was a warning alright. To everybody. Out here it’s not go big or go home. It’s go big and get home. At about six feet deep, I suppose that ditch did resemble a grave. I dropped a single flower into it. The flower caught the drainage and floated away toward the sea. Getting on my Motorcycle, I kept to the middle of the road. Another law of the jungle.
Echo Beach, September 2017. Perhaps the cram up started with the visitor’s naming of the place. After all, this section of beach was named after a Quiksilver marketing campaign based on the name of a 1979 one-hit-wonder Canadian new wave band , Martha and the muffins.

The first wave ridden. Alex Knost on his beloved single fin pintail semi-gun. Like a moving wind tunnel, this underwater angle gives us a supreme opportunity to examine the dynamics of design. Entry point, watery contrail, displacement, momentum and poise. Combined with that eerie, muffled sound of surfers riding past, imagine being able to broadcast this sound and angle live during a major contest. It would add a much needed third dimension to the understanding of our sport.
P
hotographer Everton Luis, Craig Anderson, Bryce Young, Alex Knost and Ozzie Wright, on yet another dream trip to the Mentawai Islands, sat on the aft of the good ship STAR KOAT trying to come up with a different way to photograph the Mentawai. Ozzie came up with the concept of becoming fish themselves. Which sparked Everton Luis to set out to capture a complete session shooting only from the angle that a fish would see. “Tide was dropping fast at Rags Rights and that reef gets too shallow and
crazy, but it also makes the water crystal clear, so we went for it”. With only six waves ridden between them in an hour’s time, the reef became too hairy to continue and they all paddled back to the boat. These are the only photos shot within that hour. Paired with the philosophical thoughts that they could inspire. If we could only allow ourselves to expand our current understanding of Modern surfing’s physical act in relation to the Universe that surrounds us.
Riding a 5’6” snout-nosed fish in waves of jacking hollowness over a razor sharp reef is a sketchy prospect at best. But Craig Anderson took it on as photographer Everton Luis captured Craig in a desperate moment of adjustment during his only wave of his session.
Bryce Young too decided on a retro fish design. This one with a small, flexible tail section. This is his first wave of the session. But it is the hand in the face that gives us our fascination. A clawing, stalling instinct that unknowingly creates vortices of air that reach onto the very roof of the rotating lip itself. Evidence of a passing that is both felt and then ignored by an indifferent force of nature.
Top: Ozzie Wright, here on his only wave of the session, reaches out to feel the purity of a moment in perfect trim. An entire body experience, backside tuberiding is completely unlike frontside tuberiding in that it allows the use of rear end, ribs and knees to enhance the line. Frontside all we have is our hands. Bottom: Slightly later on the first wave of the session it is easy to to see the extraordinary interface of the moving elements over a stationary reef. How it allows our trajectories of perfection as we seek our fleeting nirvanic moments. Alex Knost, tripping along, reaching out, beyond worldly thoughts.
Another unridden challenge. Java’s rough, wild coast has unlimited potential for the tougher travelers among us. Morning surf’s here are the go with heavy mid-day onshore winds as the interior of the island heats up. But horrendous rips are the order of day. A careful approach is demanded, with a smart exit plan if all goes wrong. 4 4 SURFTIME

lthough just the mention of the word Java has been enough to send imaginations soaring throughout history, to the modern surfer it holds even more mystery than most imaginations are capable of. With a deadly, rough coast, ship eating waters, volcanic events that alter the very tectonic plates beneath us and over 1000 kilometers of exposed coastline, this 13th largest island in the world remains one of our last unexplored surf zones. New discoveries leak out as rumors, then most often become ghosts to those hardy enough to seek them out. Recently, photographer Federico Vanno heard such a rumor and launched an expedition with local Balinese surfers Ketut Agus, Tonyo Dharmaputra and Mustofa Jeksen. An expedition to the roughest part of the coast in search of what was being called the “Sunset Beach” of Indonesia. What they found was a gnarly, unpredictable, shifty right on the loneliest stretch of coastline that Java has to offer. Mustofa was first to ride so he named it “Itu Mengaum” which translates to “The Roar”. Both photographer and surfers came back changed men.
The rare white sand beach in the background belies the menacing reef that The Roar pours over. Tonyo Dharmaputra dropped into his first wave late and found himself undergunned and in trouble all the way to the shoulder. Far from the gentler breaks of his native Bali, the Java wild coast surfing takes a shrewd adaptation. You do not want to be left wanting. Bring your big boards.
Top Left: Though smaller than the biggest sets, the first wave at the roar gave Mustofa Jeksen naming rights. Bottom Left: A very hot, very wet 2 hour hike down through the dense coastal jungle finally reveals her secret. The Roar bears its teeth. Right: Javanese lighthouse. A testament to the wildness of deepest Java. Village fisherman here take turns manning the post, with the number and size of the Indonesian flags representing the sea conditions and offering a beacon for home. Javanese surfing will always remain for the adventurous.
Top: Bigger than originally thought, “The Left� turned into an all day affair. Looking like a good day at Rocky point and packing Hawaiian power, Ketut Agus channels his North Shore experience into a classic backside bottom turn. Bottom: Tonyo Dharmaputra, eager to throw his hat in the ring after the long, bumpy ride by boat. The thousands of sea stacks that line this coast not only wedge the wave up and chop up the seas, but also lend a very Jurassic vibe to the experience.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. And when the big stuff comes roaring over the reef at Lance’s Rights, it becomes a bullfight. Matador Tatsuya performs a perfect “Veronica” on the wave’s first pass. How close do you want to get to the horns? 52

n 1991, a heartbroken Aussie surfer named Lance Knight lies awake and dreams of a perfect wave all to himself. He wakes up determined to move forward. He finds some Marine charts of the Indian Ocean and starts mapping out rumors he’s heard. He decides on a small island called Sipora, off West Sumatra. Having traveled most of the way from Australia overland, He arrives in the capital of Padang by bus. For 50 bucks he hitches a ride in a tiny bush plane with an Iranian Pilot who is also a MSF Doctor. Lance Knight arrives, barely, on a small, dusty, island jungle airstrip with one board, a small backpack and a 10 kilo bag of rice. He then hitches a ride on a small fishing boat, attempting to make his way to the opposite, swellexposed side of the island. After days of coastal trading, the small fishing boat is caught by a big storm. The Captain heads for shore to a place he knows where they might find safety. It is the small village of Katiet on Sipora island where, in 1943, the WWII Japanese Imperial Navy once blew a massive holes in the reef very close to shore so that they could drop off Ammunition and establish Anti-aircraft gun nests. Lance and the Fisherman barely make it through the blown reef pass and drop anchor into the Japanese Navy’s deepest spot that is now known as “the keyhole”. That’s when Lance notices that the Japanese Navy had created a miracle. An absolutely perfect wave grinding along a perfectly altered reef not 50 yards from the safety of the keyhole. Lance suits up and, storm or no, paddles out. Having never seen a surfboard before, over 100 villagers climb the trees on shore to watch him die. He lives. And returns to shore to be a celebrity among his new tribe for weeks while surfing what eventually became to be known as Lance’s Rights. Today, as Taj Burrow, Rio Waida, Teiki Balian and Tatsyua Tanaka discovered recently on a big swell, the ride at Lances Right starts long before you take off. It’s starts when you begin your journey to the place. Then, after you have had your very first ride and find yourself back
One year into his retirement after 18 years on the pro tour, Taj Burrow is still charging every set wave he can find. Proof that retiring need not be about growing old. In Taj’s case, maybe the word “retiring” should be changed to “re-trying”. Growing old is mandatory. But growing up isn’t.
Top: For those of you who have yet to surf Lance’s Rights, know this: On a swell this size the wave caps over way outside allowing for one of the most thrilling roll-ins in the Universe. Here, on a wave looking more like Hawaii than Indonesia, Taj comes around the corner already bracing for the cavern to come. A wave so skatepark perfect that Taj elected to paddle out on his 5’8”. Bottom: Like a middleweight match-up between a rookie and a veteran of the ring, Rio Waida and Taj Burrow, the main event on the card, went toe to toe. With Taj taking the day on experience alone and Rio reveling in the lessons. Ever notice that at the end of boxing match the fighters always hug each other? Thanking each other for the opportunity to be their best.
out in the line-up for more, you become dizzy with excitement. Because at this point, you both know each who each other are now. Both wave and surfer know what the other is capable of. Before your second wave you have learned some things. Like the fact that despite the perfection, this wave is dangerous as hell. Sit deep and when a set approaches, if you are not paying attention, you will find your feet dragging along the live reef. Get greedy and do one too many cutbacks and you will be eaten alive by the “surgeons table” on the inside. A wipeout there, over exposed scalpel sharp cockleshells and staghorn coral, causes deep lacerating damage that has been compared with shotgun wounds. And things like the fact that the wave is so perfect, all it takes is for someone to even think about dropping in on you to cause a disastrous chandelier. And the fact that every take-off takes absolute commitment over the kaleidoscope reef just waiting to chew you up. But, despite all this, you wait for your second wave. Smarter, ready. It comes, it’s yours, you paddle, hard, it lifts you, begins to draw, bending and tapering away into the channel in perfect harmony with the underwater contours. This is your entire world now, your board releases, you hunch to your feet and floor it. And in what feels like slow motion, you can feel the wave lunging, warping and pitching. You keep your eyes on the exit. You drive and drive, and the wave drives back, grinding around you, giving you everything its got. You match it for long moments until you feel something else. You feel it in your balls, in your scalp, in your quivering legs and your pounding heart. You feel that you are actually going to come out of this thing. And then you do. With speed to burn and a heart rate to match. You don’t know whether to laugh, scream or cry. So you just eject, rocketing off the lip, leaping off your board into the sky, suspended for an instant, defying gravity, flying. Feeling like you are going stay that way forever. And you just might.
Rio Waida bending around the first pitch, warp speed, eyes on the prize. There will be no off the lips on a swell this big. Rio will climb to mid face, slam on the brakes, swivel the nose and hope for forgiveness. Think of the thousands of barrels that have been ridden at Lance’s Rights and the thousands of memories of a boat being perfectly framed in the channel as one looks out the tube?
Top: Taj Burrow taking in the last chapter of a wave that is easy to read, but not that easy to ride. Though the visual similarities are obvious, this is no wave pool. Lance’s is what every wave pool is trying to be. Bottom: With the nature of the wave being a deep, intense barrel with a fat,deep water shoulder just before a disastrous inside section known as the “Surgeon’s table” there are only few surfers who will risk that last cutback. And only a few more who will put everything they have into it. Teiki Balian, ultimate ex-pat local, has been sailing these waters for the better part of his life. Now settled in at his Hollow Trees Resort, he surfs shoulder to shoulder with the best surfers in the world, giving them all a run for their money. For more visit: HTRESORT.COM
THE WEB WE WEAVE
Stuart Nettle, Editor of Swellnet.com, has something to say
Photography by Liquid Barrel
I just want to write and post great stuff. Take my time to create maximum impact by posting relevant material. Stuff that moves people. Write definitive articles. But the invisible hand of the internet insists on lesser pieces and far more of them. Fodder into the engine. I feel a sense of foreboding about where all this will lead us. Our surf culture is falling into disarray. It’s lacking the unity, urgency, and the striving that all subcultures need. And worse, the web can project this malaise onto the wider world. Political journalism? Investigative journalism? Holding power to account? In the book “The Shallows”’ Nicholas Carr argued that deep reading is not our historical norm. It’s an aberration. And has only existed since Gutenberg invented the news press machine in the 1500s. Carr contends that we’re more physically attuned to short grabs of attention before our mind wanders. It served early Man to be attentive to many things around him: a twig breaking; changes in air temperature; sounds from outside. Our distant ancestors never had to concentrate for long periods of time. And in the modern context the internet fills that vestigial appetite with short bursts of text and an ever-changing interface. The corollary is that all great works take months, years, decades, maybe even lifetimes, to produce. And yet the internet is training us to work in ever shorter and shorter time frames. But To what end?
Our new surfing world is one of paid content. Created out of the need to feed the internet. Individuality, global identity, the surfing life itself is being force fed to us by paid content providers. Just like the stuff you see on the bottom of websites that have figured you out and want to sell you sh*t. Nothing ever goes back in history. But at least we can still look back at real moments like the one pictured here and know that despite the fact we are becoming brainwashed consumers, at least what we do with the products they sell us can suddenly become very real. Ketut Agus, keeping it very, very real in wild Java.

Spread: With more photographers out in the water than ever, they are now forced to get closer and closer in order to get a clean shot. To suspend our disbelief. To capture the dream. But Padang Padang has reached a saturation of photographers that has actually changed the way the wave is surfed. The inside section being more of photo studio than an experience. Here, Sima Rai slaloms through not the pack of surfers, but the pack of Photographers, all seeking the perfect moment. But with that many photographers in the water, does it exist anymore?

RAJU SENA BECOMES THE “KING OF THE NIGHT” AT RED BULL NIGHT RIDERS 2017!
B
erawa Beach, Bali, September 3, 2017 – A massive crowd of 4000 locals and holidaymakers turned up for Bali’s annual Red Bull Night Riders event at Finns Beach Club this weekend, with Raju Sena claiming the trophy in a tightly contested battle on Saturday night. With small waves and a full tide conditions proved tricky; but aided by expert water patroller Aaron Graham, the surfers were able to make the most of their opportunities and put on a great show of tow-at aerial surfing. Eight surfers – Bronson Meidy, Raju Sena, Rio Waida, Marlon Gerber, Wayan “Betet” Merta and Lempog Jackson from Indonesia, Luke Davis (USA) and Kian Martin (SWE) representing the international team – competed on the night of the event. Every surfer was given 10-minutes in the opening round to attempt landing a big, stylish air, with the best four surfers advancing to round two, where they were given another 10 minutes to surf. The format was simple, the best single air of the night would win the prized money of 15,000,000 IDR. Red Bull Night Riders went off again in 2017, and people can’t wait to see what happens when the event returns next year, bigger and better than ever.

FREE RIP CURL GIVEAWAY! Surftime, I cannot tell you how pleased I was to see a female surfer ripping in the surf on your last cover. As a father of a surfing daughter, I see that women of the sea do not really need the same kind of credit that the men do for their ego’s. But what a wonderful surprise it was. The mix of aggression and femininity in that photo really hit a chord with my daughter, inspiring her to surf even better. So thank you Surftime for supporting the female surfers of this island. Tom Delray, Canggu Tom, We give the same consideration to all photos regardless of gender. It is our hope that cover shot of Kailani Johnson inspires more photographers and more female surfers to work together and produce more great images. Thank you and enjoy this month’s prize for your letter. The newest Rip Curl Boardshorts.

CLOSE OUT:
LIKE SON, LIKE FATHER P
addling out watching a friend rip a wave is one thing. Seeing your Father doing it in quite another. Here, Varun Tanjung, son, watches Rizal Tanjung, Father, scything his way through the Keramas crowd. Varun, preparing to do the same. Reaping the harvest they both seek. One would be hard pressed to find another sport where a Father and Son, on the same playing field, can play as hard as they possibly can, as best as they possibly can, shoulder to shoulder, playing not with each other or against each other, but beside one another. Football? Kid couldn’t keep up. Boxing? The elder could beat him to the ground. Basketball? No way. But Surfing‌surfing, yes. Sons and Fathers, like members of an army at different times in their careers, fighting from the same foxhole. Surfing. Where it is proven that tide after tide it is not flesh and blood, but the hearts of the two together on the field of life that make Fathers and Sons. Photography by Pete Frieden
