blacky

Blacky, local surfer from Padma, Bali. One of the Padma Boys. Jason Lukas shot this one a few years ago. That's his friend Demian Amar in the background. Blacky can be a wild one, there's barely a dull moment around this kid. Here he is a bit more contemplative.

Blacky has a knack for finding the barrel too.

bleronk

Darmayasa Bleronk, from Padma, Bali. This was after a session up the coast that was pretty big. Bleronk and his brother Tonyo were charging, it was awesome to watch. It was also the first time I'd seen them in pretty sizable surf.

Bleronk looks at the camera, goofing off, and referring to the surf he goes, "too small!!!!" Cracked me up.
