1. Macaronis, Mentawai, Indonesia (July 99)
   Had one morning sesh out there while everyone else ate breakfast. Eventually altruism, or the fact that nobody got see my best tube ;), got the better of me, and I paddled back to the boat to let the lads know exactly what they were missing.

2. Secret spot, KZN North Coast, SA (mid-year?)
   My secret bay, just me and three mates out, dredging barrels for hours on end.

3. Cave Rock, KZN South Coast, SA (October?)
   Possibly the biggest waves I rode in 1999, and without a doubt the heaviest. Out-of-season swell with big, booming pits everywhere, heavy drops and 50% of the waves ending in full decompression blow-outs. My leash string ripped through my tail on one particularly memorable beating.
