Every local surf community has one thing in common, no matter where you go, no matter how difficult or easy it is to find world-class waves from that location. Without fail, they all share the belief that one premier wave in or around their hometown is as good as any other spot on the planet…on its best day(s). The scale isn’t dependent on how often those best days come. The theory is relative. Those “best days” can come multiple times every season, without fail. Those “best days” can come every El Niño winter, once in a decade, or once in a generation.

This year’s Indo season has been one for the record books. As ever though, it was the jewel in the Mentawai crown, HTs (or Lance’s Right), that probably delivered the most highlights.

Kelp Town, a new surf film from Now Now Media starring Adin Masencamp, starts with an ode to algae. A David Attenborough sound-alike fills us in on the various roles kelp plays in our global ecosystem, in a tone familiar to anyone who’s spent hours watching mesmerizing Planet Earth footage. However, then the hushed reverie comes to a screeching halt and the voice over makes the declaration, “but it’s a tricky bugger to surf over.”

It’s that time of year when late summer starts to slide into early fall and a little bit of powder fever picks up as well. For me, it was always the combination of Labor Day sales on last season’s gear and the knowledge of a new Warren Miller film I’d be popping into my calendar that got the juices flowing. Sure, actual winter storms and enough snow to fire up more than two lifts around Tahoe were still months away, but for me, the drop of a new ski and snowboard flick marked the real beginning of a new season.
