Destination Sumba Part 1

Sumbanese traffic jam on the way to Nihiwatu Resort.

Welcome Dance.
This was the coolest thing I have seen in a while, when I arrived, the guys assembled all my boards so I could kick back and enjoy the sunset.
Hunting octupus and fish in the tidal pools. There aren't any supermarkets around here, so you eat what you find.
Bringing home food.
Local fishermen.

Clownfish of some sort, wannabe Nemos
Christian's last name is Sea, he's very comfortable in the water.
Local groms.
The dining area at night.
Dato Daku was our guide when we were there, he had his traditional Sumbanese sword with him at all times which was very sharp. Good protection.
The crew.
Titus pulling into a barrel, we didn't score epic surf in Sumba, but with only a few people out the whole time, there were plenty of waves to go around.
Sal throwing in a hack.
That's OC on a little floater.
I'll take the shoulder high blue Indo glass over Newport any day.
