Day 1 of SCST IV starts with appropriate opening day as Nort the super dog eats zipper last night on new board bag.  Let the adventure begin...

We will be arriving at Kandui in time for an early season Indian Ocean swell.  Feeling more nervous than ready. 

Looks like SCST IV trip to Mentawai Islands, Indonesia, will coincide with a new swell window. Surf trip anticipation never gets old. But as I get old the anticipation changes. At 20 years old it was, "hope it gets big". Now it's "hope I don't get hurt". Need to put the 20 year old head back on by next week.
