On Monday, a solid, long period swell slammed into Indonesia sending a shotgun blast of waves across the archipelago. Near-perfection from Desert Point, Padang Padang, Kandui through the Ments and beyond have been trickling through the digital PR platform, otherwise known as Instagram. While the lay days carry on at the Kelly Slater Pro, the rest of the professional surf world is currently scattered throughout Indo. Here’s a collection of a few moments that graced our inbox.
