SURFTIME MAGAZINE VOL.18 NO.4 JUNE - JULI 2017 | ISSUE #108

A provocative word, summer. It evokes not only our favorite memories but also our finest hopes. Especially here on the equator where we have only two seasons. Wet and dry. Though our recent monsoon was unreasonably long, the surf it gave us was wonderously bountiful. So with a summer season that has kicked off with some of the highest quality surf seen in years, all in all, we have had one of the best years of surf ever. Or maybe it is just that we are surfing more and better than ever.

each other. Sure, we can’t go back, but man, for any older surfers out there Sam’s article is like a phone call from an old friend. And of course for the young at heart we have put together our own summer stories. Betet Merta dropped by the offices and told us his tale, as only Betet can, of Indonesia’s impact on Australia this year. Senior Photographer Diogo D’Orey hooked up with Lombok Photog Putu Juliartha and an all star, all Indonesian crew for a secret strike to a secret wave that brought them all closer together for a summer

Never forget that we are guests of the sea, not owners. Act appropriately. Melasti, Canggu, 2017, photo Liquid Barrel

As witnessed in this special issue we bring you dedicated to a summer that has barely begun. The theme of this issue is called Five Summer Stories for a reason. We were lucky enough to get a last minute article by surf journalism and filmmaker maestro Sam George on his fond memories of his favorite surf movie from the 70’s, FIVE SUMMER STORIES. And how today’s internet clips have not brought us closer as a tribe, but much further away from

story they will tell for the rest of their lives. Rahtu Suargita breaks down his incredible two wave session at Padang Padang and much much more.

So turn the page and enjoy the journey.

Because at Surftime magazine, it’s always summer on the inside.

Oney Anwar, Indonesian Expat in Oz, shows what years of living on the Gold Coast can do for your surfing. Always an electrifying presence, this year Oney was on fire.

One of the skills that every surfer must learn to cope with if they are to become a top flight professional is constant scrutiny from the public. Mick Fanning has it down.

Says Mick, “The key is to leave the world behind once you jump in�.

During the Duranbah sessions surrounding the Quiksilver Pro, Betet Merta, left and Rizal Tandjung, right, were like brown comets in a sea of white. For a couple of hours, these two owned one of the most high pressure line-ups on earth.

Mustofa Jeksen. Even non-surfers took note of his wild, go for broke performances. Ready for the world? On most days, Mustofa owned it.

STORIES:

A Look Back At The Meaning Of Surf Movies And their Music Before Surf movies Became Paid Content Advertising Clips All photos by Pete Frieden • Story by Sam George

SURFTIME

SUMMER, 1973 t was, perhaps, the most exciting night of my young life. On this chilly summer evening I found myself at 16 years old standing amid a seething horde of Bay Area surfers outside the Scottish Rites Masonic Temple on the corner of 19th and Sloat Avenues.

I was beside myself in anticipation of the San Francisco premier of MacGillivrayFreeman’s surf movie “Five Summer Stories”. This state of consciousness definitely put me in the minority. Reeking of patchouli and weed, most of the crowd were not only beside themselves but somewhere higher.

Much higher. This particular zip code being the epicenter of what was then known as “The Acid Triangle”, where despite the Sunset District’s persistent summer fog, plenty of orange sunshine beamed down from the basement labs of nearby Bolinas.

The mob flooded the Temple’s 760 seats. It was the only venue in San Francisco that would have the movie. Earlier in the year, during a particularly blurry surf movie at the Giannini High school auditorium, incensed surfers had burned down the School library in protest of the film’s short running time.

Such was the passion of surf audiences of the time. But on this night there was to be nothing but worship. So I joined the pulsing throng, settling down in my seat, ignoring rolling beer bottles and the enthusiastic encouragement surrounding an India-printed couple cheerfully copulating three rows back. Then the lights went out, the huge screen flickered to life and the soundtrack kicked in. A vibrating synthesizer tone, underscored by rippling cymbals, joined by a deep Hammond organ and ethereal background vocals. Then the drums and the guitar and ten-foot Pipeline, shot from the water.

I

Creed McTaggart, up close and personal. Or is it? With the advent of internet clips replacing the communal surf movie experience, what would seemingly bring us close together through inundation, has in reality drawn us further apart by isolationism. Really, what do we know about this guy other than what paid content clips are showing us?

The music had started, the hooting began and for me neither has stopped since. Because surfing has enjoyed a soundtrack unlike any other sport in modern history. Baseball has “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” and that’s it. The NFL has its gladiator music, the Olympics its soaring fanfare. But Surfing has long been visually presented with a diverse, dynamic musical score that reinforced a perception that surfers weren’t just listening but performing.

Australian filmmaker Paul Witzig, in his 1967 film “The Hot Generation”, much like Bruce Brown and other surf filmmakers

in the 1960s, set most of the action to uniformly terrible music. But in the midst of Muzak versions of various Beatles hits (what “Penny Lane” and perfect Burleigh Heads have in common is hard to fathom), Witzig included a smattering of pop and psychedelic rock cuts from a groovy group called Taman Shud. This contrast, while a bit dizzying, actually helped to highlight the stylistically schizophrenic tone of the film, which was perhaps the first to capture the late1960s transition between the longboards and the shortboards of the Sunburned Country down under.

Technology, of course, has given us the great benefit of impeccable scrutiny. New cameras, closer action and capabilities of instant slowmo replay, surfing technique has never been easier to analyze. Kipp Caddy, textbook air, Keramas.

Meanwhile in the Northern Hemisphere another more transformative trend was gestating, one that can be traced back to a single sequence in the film “Waves of Change”, shot and produced in 1968-69 by the Laguna Beach team of Greg MacGillivray and Jim Freeman. Though not released until 1971 under the title “Sunshine Sea”, the film, which otherwise featured an embarrassingly mainstream Muzak-style soundtrack, inexplicably set a fast-paced French beach break session to “Ride My Seesaw” from the 1968 album “In Search of the Lost Chord” by The Moody Blues. It was, in fact, a glimpse into the future, with surf stars Mark Martinson, Keith Paull and Billy Hamilton riding some of the period’s very first ‘shortboards’, underscored by a hit song from a chart-topping group that was at the same time playing in thousands of college dorms.

This synergistic relationship between the art forms of surfing and music, defined, by the surfer’s point of view, reached full flower in the 1970 film The Cosmic Children, by Hal Jepsen. Jepson seemingly cut his entire crudely shot 16mm mash-up to whatever eight-track tapes he had rattling around the passenger foot well of his VW Bug, ignoring any potential copyright infringement. The result was a heady dose of cutting edge surfing scored by cutting edge music.

It used to be that a single surf shot in a surf magazine could make you a star. Now you gotta drop a sponsored clip on the web or forget it. Still, for hot local surfers like Adi Pecoq Pradana, shown here ripping in between his shifts as a top Keramas lifeguard, the proof will always be in the performance. The best guys in the line-up will forever catch the filmers eye, superstar or no.

Jeff Hakman ripping Honolua Bay to The Chambers Brothers’ “Love, Peace and Happiness”, Jock Sutherland tube-slotting Pipeline to Cream’s “Tales of Brave Ulysses”, and David Nuuhiwa’s southside HB Pier act to Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five”.

It was during this surf film zenith that Greg MacGillivray began planning to score what he was calling “The Last Surf Movie”. The film, “Five Summer Stories”, was to be his last entry in the surf genre.

After the film he moved on to create the oversize IMAX format and by doing so became the most successful documentary filmmaker of all time. But regardless, with “Five Summer Stories” MacGillivray went all out, creating the most ambitious surf movie soundtrack ever recorded. To start, he convinced The Beach Boys, one of the biggest acts in the world at the time, to contribute several lush tracks from their popular

1971 album “Surfs Up”. These critically acclaimed cuts from an iconic band provided “Five Summer Stories” with considerable artistic credibility, and yet MacGillivray still wasn’t going to settle. His plan was to have a complete score composed for the entire film. And to this end he contacted a local Laguna Beach country rock band, fresh off a sold-out week at The Troubadour in Hollywood. The band was called Honk, and two of its founding members, Steve Wood and Tris Imboden, were lifelong surfers.

Fast-forward to March 24th, 1972, and the grand premiere of “Five Summer Stories” at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, destined to be the most acclaimed surf movie premiere in history. Mostly due to the fact that Imboden and Wood, who knew the surfers and the lifestyle, had emerged from the studio with an original soundtrack of remarkable diversity and energy. Writer Eve

Babitz, in a three-page review for Rolling Stone magazine, would later gush, “The audience went crazy in transported ecstacy… we were silenced in disbelief…dazzled… stunned…awesome beauty…beautiful music.”

Taj Burrow, with a subtle stall that, if not for a shutter speed of 500th of a second, might never be examined.

From the rollicking, Chicago r&b sax riffs on “Made My Statement”, accompanying a sequence of Barry Kanaiaupuni absolutely ripping medium-size Honolua Bay, to Tris Imboden’s tension-building double 16th note on the high hat cymbal that kicks off “Pipeline Sequence”, the “Five Summer Stories” original score seamlessly supported action on the screen. The affect was immediate and long-lasting. Thanks to Steve Wood’s honky-tonk piano and pedal steel riffs, the cut “High In The Middle” inspired a whole generation of surfers to buy into the concept of a North Shore good time country vibe, despite so much obvious evidence to the contrary (rainy seasons, bugs, expensive housing, surly locals, red mud, scary waves, etc.) In a similar manner the deliberately quiet, sensitive keyboard work on the song “Lopez”, accompanying what was then the first sharp focus, slow-motion examination of Gerry Lopez’s amazing tube riding, laid a soft comforter over what is a

very violent interface of west swell and shallow reef. The song’s legacy lives on today with every one of John John Florence’s casual slouches as he comes out of the tube.

Emulating, as has virtually every other Pipeline wizard (Tom Carroll excluded), Lopez’s extreme nonchalance as underscored by the “Lopez” theme.

“Five Summer Stories” is to this day one of the finest cinematic depictions of surfing and surf culture. But for a lot of surfers like me, those who first saw “Five Summer Stories” in a theater seat or folding chair, the experience was more of an acoustic one. Whether you even liked the music or not, it was the film’s score, even more than the footage, that would have an indelible effect. A lot of good surf movies would use a lot of good music in the years to follow. Videos, too, once the era of Scottish Rites Temple screenings and library burnings had passed. But on that chilly night in 1973, the fact that “Five Summer Stories”

was scored with music specifically created for the action on the screen meant that the music was meant specifically for me.

And the message was clear. My summer stories deserved a soundtrack, too.

And I don’t think I’ve ridden a wave since without some sort of song playing in my head.

UNITED: An all Indonesian quick strike Words and Photos by Diogo D’Orey

This all Indonesian surf trip to a seldom ridden secret spot, was a passion project involving more local knowledge than most will encounter in a lifetime. Oney Anwar sweeping into the power at a spot the team referred “Tempat Rahasia”.

O

ney Anwar, Pepen Hendrik and Darmaputra Tonyo, told me they wanted to take me to a slabby right-hander on the other end of Indonesia. This was two days before the first bomb swell of the season here in Bali. I was thrilled with the notion.

Alongside three of Indonesia’s best local surfers. I immediately said yes. And better yet, Putu Juliartha, Lombok photo ace, was there waiting for us. I have been following Putu’s work for a while now, so the possibility of cross fires, unique double angles, working together…the whole idea felt like real surfing and shooting.

“The wave itself was a wild animal. Combination right-hand point with three long barreling sections that eventually converged into a wedging section, ending with a sketchy, wide throwing lip, that landed on a shallow reef shelf. There was a bit of rip so staying in the right spot was challenging, and required some powerful kicking as a photographer. At the end of the day it felt as if we had all worked together as a well oiled machine. Just like the waves themselves”.

Tonyo Dharmaputra, surfing this shallow reef as effortlessly as he does his favorite sandbar back at Padma Beach, Bali. With great risk, comes great rewards. Especially islands away from home.

Packing up back on the boat was a time for reflection. I felt a kind of brotherly love.

I was honored that these talented surfers included me in the experience. Coming from different ages, religions and zip codes, united by sincere smiles and a love for what we do. I discovered on a trip like this that Indonesian surfers have a special way of living. Different than anywhere else. They are fun to be around, always joking, enjoying the moments and the laughter. And they have this beautiful disconnect from ego that has made a lasting, positive impression on me. Imagine growing up and watching your home town and home waves becoming the most popular surf destination in the planet.

With legions of hipsters and wanna be lo-

cals bringing the worst that the west has to offer onto the surf. That alone would make any of us change from a positive loving attitude to a demand respect attitude.

But not this trio, they have a very beautiful way to receive respect that involves fast surfing, great barrel riding skills and a 24/7 big grin in their faces.

I’ve embarked on lots of travels so far in my life, but of them all, this one was peaceful, and unique. Some days it all goes your way, I guess. And this time it felt like we were actually meant to score perfect pumping waves. And to share it with those who make it more magical then it already is.

The strike team: Diogo D’Orey, Oney Anwar Tonyo Dharmaputra and Pepen Hendrik. Every time this rare wave breaks, there are sure to be less kids in class as most of them cut school and scamper down to the reef watch the drama unfold.

Spread: Tonyo Dharmaputra had an immediate connection with this place. Surrounded only by childhood friends in waves like this how could you not?

Left: Oney Anwar and Pepen Hendrik, like rock stars sauntering on to the stage, find a quiet moment before their explosive performance.

Photographer Damea Dorsey might have captured the last great photos of the monsoon season when he and Nic Von Rupp showed up on the East side of Bali just in time to see a major weather system moving in to pulverize the island. With the storm feeding itself on the drawing wind, Damea and Nic hit the water for a true Stormriders session. These unique photographs clearly show a side of paradise rarely seen in tourist brochures.

What is it about surfing during an approaching storm that makes close-out sets that much more menacing. Could it be that underwater, day becomes night? Or is it just that roiling, bruised sky that seems to make the water heavier? Either way, Here, Nic Von Rupp pays the price for stormrider glory.

Like Gerry Lopez when he paddled out at Pipeline in the 70’s, when Adi Putra paddles into the line-up, the session has now become the real deal. Three things will now be required: Class, commitment and respect for the wave itself.

n 2011 an article appeared in the pages of Surftime Magazine that was surely a portent of what was to come from Rio Waida.

We had measured all of Indonesia’s top surfers when it came to strength to weight ratios and body fat levels and we discovered something remarkable. Of all the top surfers, pound for pound, it was an 11 year old Rio Waida who had proven to be the physically strongest of the group. Even more so than powerhouses Marlon Gerber, Pepen Hendrix and Dede Suryana. This was mostly due to a leg strength that was far beyond his years. Since then we have seen Rio grow into a young man who is now challenging not only the top Junior surfers of the world but even the top WQS surfers of the world. His second place at Keramas was a smart, powerful performance that kept everyone but the eventual winner on the ropes . The official WSL report read like this:

“Keramas was on fire for finals morning of the Komune Bali Pro presented

by The Mad Hueys, with only seven heats needed to run through the Quarters, Semis and Final to crown a champion. The eight surfers left in the draw were gifted the best conditions of the event so far, with flawless 4 - 5 foot tubes on offer, but it was Coolangatta’s Brent Dorrington who reigned supreme to claim the event title and the infamous Golden Shoe trophy. The 35-minute Final saw an arm wrestle between Dorrington and Bali’s Rio Waida, both exchanging tubes and the lead. Conditions held up and continued to pump out the goods.

With a second place finish in the recent Komune Pro, a heat that many felt that he actually won, Rio Waida announced his presence to the international ranks. With surfing that reflects dedication to training and clean living, Rio Waida has established himself as Indonesia’s great next hope on the world stage.

The winner would be decided by who used their priority to pick the waves that allowed sections for combinations of tubes and turns. Experience paid off and the longtime Qualifying Series Dorrington took the win over the young Indonesian. It must be said that Sixteen-year-old Rio Waida was a standout during the entire event, but was forced to settle for 2nd place as he unfortunately peaked too early in their Semifinal win over Sebastian Zietz. This is a big result for Waida, his best result on the QS so far, and he will take this confidence into the remaining QS and junior events in the 2017 season. “This event has been incredible I have learned so much,” Waida said. “I can’t wait to come back next year and go one place better. I had heats against CT guys and I won, it’s a dream come true I still cannot believe it.”

Obviously, this standard press release leaves a great deal to read between the lines. For example, that it was not Rio’s surfing that lost him the heat, but rather a minor priority error. And of course there was no way to avoid the rumors of Dorrington’s sponsorship association with the presenters of the contest having given him the nod.

There was even one humorous rumor that the sponsors of the contest did not want a non-drinker to win, drinking booze from the golden shoe trophy being a time honored ritual for the winner. But despite all these rumors and conjectures, the fact remains that Rio Waida has fired a shot across the bow of the international surfing scene and it is Surftime’s call, just as it was back in 2011, that Rio Waida will be Indonesia’s best hope within the international arena for years to come.

The results of Waida’s arduous training regimen has become obvious. With special attention paid to massive leg strength, Waida’s maneuvers carry a new, impressive power through new, impressive turns. A fact that should send the rest of Indonesia’s Groms running for the gym.

JUNE WSL ASIA REPORT

By Tim Hain

V

isions lead to goals, and goals are made to be reached. With the formation of the new World Surf League (WSL) Asia Region, the primary goal of the ASC and the ISC before has now been realized…Asia’s surfers competing on the WSL QS but in their own region with their own events and their own Asian rankings.

The Krui Pro 2017 opening ceremony was one for the record books, a nasi campur of sexy bewigged dangdut dancers, formal government speeches, a interesting wedding ceremony, Balinese and local dances, the Bupati banging the gong to open the event, and then closing it down with all the WSL and government officials dancing with the girls on the stage. What a doozy!

What this means for the ASC is that there is no longer a need for a separate ASC tour…so starting with the Krui Pro all the previous ASC events will be converted to WSL QS1000 and above events and surfers will now register for events on-line, check their scores, heat draws, rankings, schedules, press releases, photos, videos and everything else via the WSL website, just as all the other WSL pro surfers do.Welcome to the big stage guys, goal reached and mission accomplished!

• Krui Pro 2017 had 64 men and 18 women competitors from Australia, Brazil, Greece, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Philippines, and Taiwan competing from 15-20 April at Ujung Bocor in the West Coast (Pesisir Barat) Province of South Sumatra in 3-6 foot pumping lefthand waves with Keijro Nishi of Japan taking the Men’s win and Lucy Callister from Australia taking the Women’s win.

Japan’s Minori Kawai showing off her impressive bottom turn against eventual winner Lucy Callister from Australia in Semifinal 1, posting the highest score of a 7.60, but just not able to find the 6.82 to win the heat over Callister.

Runner up Moses Le Grice from Australia congratulates Krui Pro 2017 winner Keijro Nishi from Japan. It was the first time either of them had ever been to South Sumatra and they put on a great final, with Keijro posting a 9.0 score on his last wave to take the win.

• Komune Bali Pro saw a field of 128 men competitors ranging from Keramas and Bali locals and previous world champions to current WCT and QS campaigners over a 5 day period from 23-27 April in the world class 4-6 foot barrels of Keramas on the Island of the Gods with Brent Dorrington from Australia taking the win over Bali’s own Young Gun Rio Waida.

• The 9th annual Siargao Women’s International Surfing Cup was won by Australia’s Philippa Anderson, besting a field of 24 local and international women including Le Anne Curren (FRA), Mikaela Greene (AUS), Eliza Greene (AUS), Rina Kitazawa (JPN), Hayanna Iguchi (BRA), 14-year-old Summa Longbottom (AUS/IDN), Puanani and Kailani Johnson (IDN), and star local’s including sisters Nildie and Nilbie Blancada.

With the first three events of the 2017 WSL Asian region now in the history books, what’s coming up next? The Ichinomiya Chiba Open will have been run while this mag was going to print, but then action returns to Indonesia for the West Sumbawa Pro Men’s and Women’s QS1000 from 3-8 August at YoYo’s before heading to what promises to be another epic first with the Hello Pacitan 2017 QS1000 Men’s event, which will be staged at Watu Karung this year instead of Pancer Beach. How fantastic will that be, watching the boys getting madly pitted on both the lefts and the rights during the 5 days between the 16-20 of August?

It probably wouldn’t take most surf fans more than a couple of seconds to guess who this is. It was great to see her at the event and that she had such a great time with the locals and other QS girls. She promised to come back again next year, and spend more time inside those perfect Cloud 9 barrels.

Before the start of every contest at Cloud 9 on Siargao Island in the Philippines, the opening ceremony tradition requires the breaking a surfboard to curry the favor of the swell gods. Next time they should use a brand new board, as the gods appeared to have gotten wise and elected to send mostly 2-3 footers and some on-shore winds instead of 4 foot barrels for this year’s event…still good, but not the epic Cloud 9 it could have been.

Rio Waida was certainly a dark horse in the race to the top spot of the podium at the Komune Bali Pro this year with names like 2-time event winner and ex-WCT competitor Taj Burrow, 2015 World Champion Adriano De Souza, and Hawaiian Sebastian Zietz among the many other top QS campaigners and ex WCT surfers in the heat draw…but Rio defied the odds in each of his heats and then bested Zietz in the semifinals to earn his spot in the final, and a drink from the golden shoe in the Komune pool for his 2nd place finish.

17-year-old Rio Waida from Bali may have been the smallest competitor in the Komune Bali Pro this year, but he knows how to go big on his turns, airs, and finally barrels on the final day to end up with his best ever QS result… runner up to Australia’s Brent Dorrington.

SOMETIMES CHASING A DREAM CAN TAKE YOU OVER THE EDGE

Kelly Slater, evergreen pilgrim, living as if he will die tomorrow, learning as if he will live forever. And realizing that the past has no power over the present. 44 years old and still pushing his own limits. Our limits. An inspiration to us all...even when, like the fighter pilot he is, he chooses to eject. Photography by Pete Frieden
