www.secretsumatra.com


Only Dean, Danny and I out this day in July 2009. Its like this more days than not, uncrowded macking barrels. Ultimate surf perfection, the things a surfer dreams of at night are coming true for the boys at Secret Sumatra.

I’m heading back in March for some more perfection, the trip is empty so far so I will have the place to myself! If anyone wants to join head over to www.secretsumatra.com and sign up for the trip of a lifetime. (April 15-26 tell them Angus sent you…)

Who doesn’t want photos of themselves scoring huge barrels with your mates throwing you peace signs in the channel!

The Van That Can!





This old school bus was originally turned into a camper van by a bunch of New Zealanders. They put two sets of bunks down the back and a double bed on top of these. Plus shelving, a sink, a dart board, basketball hoop, detachable sound system, attachable awnings, yep it really had it all. Even though the sleeping space and seating space was limited it didn't stop us setting up fold out camp chairs in the aisles for extra seats and cramming 10 people in the bus at any given time.

La Parra - Bakio

La Parra was an amazing little discovery for us in the small town of Bakio. The owner/manager of this little establishment is married to an Australian lass so has a great mix of Spanish cross Australian menu and DRINKS! I haven't had a Coopers Ale in well over a year to find a bar in Spain serving Coopers for only 2Euro was quite a score for me! Definitely stop here if you are an Australian on your way around Europe, try the pizza's and Pintxos at La Parra its nothing short of amazing. The Manager was super helpful telling us all the good surfing spots to stop at along our way even stocking us up with maps marked with said places. He even went as far to sell us 2 cases of Coopers for cheaper than what we would ever pay in Australia! Legend!
We camped out in a car park in Bakio for 3 days, we only had to pay for our parking spot during the day then at night we had a free place to stay in the campervan.
Due to Spains government being broke there is virtually no police passing through here, and any that do finish work by 10pm making the place very relaxed with their rules and regulations.
We had grand plans to see some sites around Bakio but after nights at La Parra, sleeping on the beach and eating pizza always seemed like a better idea...

Mornings after in Bakio were often hard times all round, Lakey doing it tough.

Spanish Suns









Sunset over Playa de Nudista, the best surf we found just happened to be at a Nudist beach...









North West corner of Spain, evening beach cricket contests.

Before the sun had set on the cricket the moon was already making an appearance from behind the mountains.
