Tahiti has had many crew dropping by. In 1769 Captain Cook followed the stars to Tahiti…Sir William Bligh in 1788 nearly lost his crew to the beautiful local women. In 1867 Paul Gauguin painted his fascination for the local Polynesian women, and in 2006 Aquabumps drifts in the channel on one of the world’s most dangerous wave – Teahuppo for the Billabong Pro.

Round 3 and 4 ran today in super clean 4 foot Chopes. Slater, Irons, Martinez, O’Rafferty all winning their heats. Martinez being the stand out for the day going super deep. Likely the finals will run tomorrow – hopefully not with the today’s huge lulls…will Slater make it 3 of 3?

Hope you’re scoring a few out at Bond*age – looks pretty small – swell coming Monday.

Big wetsuit sale at Surfection Mosman this weekend – hit Julian up for a good deal – say you’re from Aquabumps. Oh yeah…The Aquabumps Gallery has been shut lately but open this weekend.

I like it here – its magical. Heaps of waves. Heaps of power. Warm water.

Later, Uge
