Monday,
30th June 2008 The swell slightly increased through out
the day with 4-5ft sets at Kongs and Money Trees.Uncrowded conditions and all
day trade winds making another fun day in the line up. The swell looked to be
sticking around on dark, bringing some promise of some good surf tomorrow. Today
saw the arrival of some fresh faces into camp, one being our new camp Doctor and
another our resident yoga guru Nick. He'll will be running classes twice daily
to keep everyone loose and ready for action! Jamie Sunday,
29th June, 2008 The swell dropped overnight but the waves
were still in the 3-4 foot range breaking down the reef from Kongs down through
to MoneyTrees offering plenty of fun surf for all. There were some rippable walls
and the occasional barrel. Meanwhile in the camp the usual
amount of ping-pong, pool and relaxing went down, finishing out the day with cold
bintang whilst enjoying another amazing G-land sunset. Jamie Saturday,
28th June 2008 G'day G-land go-ers, First
day back in the camp for me and was greeted by the friendly staff and a nice day
of waves. There was still some swell today with Moneytrees producing very uncrowded
4-5 foot sets. Fun waves were reported down at 20-20's today as well so all guests
managed to get their fill. Looks like the swell is set to increase over the weekend
so stay tuned! Jamie Thursday, 26th
June, 2008 It was a solid 6 foot today, with strong offshores
by midday. Money Trees was offering up some great waves from late morning and
throughout the rest of the day. Some of the guys scored a few barrels at Speedies
later on despite the tide running out. Looks good for the weekend with the swell
continuing to build. With minimal crowd, a great day was had by all! The
Doc Wednesday, 25th June, 2008 The
swell built today to a consistent 4-6 foot. Light offshores all day with fun,
long, smackable walls at Kongs in the morning. By midday, with the higher tide,
Money Trees was firing with some great barrels being scored by everyone. On
sunset, consistent perfect 6 foot sets were hitting Money Trees, so with it set
to increase a bit tomorrow, everyone is frothing. It is really quiet in the line
up at the moment, so lots of waves for everyone! I am surfed out ! The
Doc Tuesday, 24th June, 2008 Hey
crew! Another great day at G-Land! Not many out early after a big beach party
last night, with the Aussie lads knocking together a cracking bonfire. 2-4
ft today, with light offshores coming in early. Fun, long, rippable walls all
through the tide at Kongs, with the occasional barrel as the tide dropped. A few
good ones were also coming through at Money Trees. Really uncrowded at the moment
so lots of waves for everyone. Looks like same again for tomorrow, with more swell
on it's way for the end of the week! Boots is gone but life
goes on..... See you out at G-Land! The
Doc Monday, 23 June, 2008 Today the
swell hung in there 2-4 foot at Kongs and Money Trees. The punters making the
most of the smaller uncrowded conditons.On dark was pulsing with solid 4 foot
sets rolling through Money Trees. So its looking promising for tomorrow. Its
been suprizing how uncrowded its been at gland this year. I'm coming to the end
of my run here at gland tomorrow I leave and the doctor will take the rains untill
rabbit arrives on the 30th. Its been a really fun relaxing vibe here at Joyo,s
Surf Camp. Plenty of solid consistent swell.. A big thanks to Rabbit and Scardy

staff at Joyo's for their hospitality. There all great people to hang out with

Mentawaiis Boots Sunday,
22 June, 2008. Today there was a drop in swell with strong
offshore winds and rain during the night. The punters enjoyed 3-4 foot Kongs and
Money Trees with a few barrels for the boys to be had. In
the past few weeks we had alot of girls coming to the Joyo's Surf Camp.Enjoying
the softer waves down at 20 - 20's and Tiger Trails where there has also been
some good waves. On dark some of the boys returned in happy
from an uncrowded consistent surf at Money Trees.The swell still looks like it
will hang for tomorrow. Boots Saturday,
21 June, 2008 The swell dropped a touch today but cleaned
right up.There were some classic 6-8 foot barrels at Speedies as well as at Moneytrees-
the whole reef was alive today offering perfect barrels to the punters. 
Because
of the perfect conditions at the whole reef, the crowd got spread out and everybody
got their share of waves. The swell is set to increase tomorrow so we should be
up for another day of perfect G-land. Boots Friday,
20 June, 2008. Today the swell picked up again as predicted
and it was a heavy 8ft Launching Pads/Speedies session!! The wind came in just
in time to make the most of the high tide and the barrels opened up big time!!
Money Tree's also held the swell and the boys who decided to surf up there also
scored super long walls! 
One
of our Brazillian guests left a good chunk of skin on the reef and had to have
a couple of stiches in his elbow but still came up smiling. No
end in site as the forecast looks red hot !! Hi Zoe, Hayley
and Clare from Trev!! I have g-land tattoos!! Scardy Thursday,
19 June, 2008. A decrease in swell today, still solid 6ft
Money Tree's in the morning... Perfect conditions today with the wind coming in
like clock work. All the punters got some pipes today which makes for the happiest
bunch of surfers around. 
Low
tide was still pumping up at Money Trees and The Ledge section... most crew happy
to sip a Bintang and watch the sunset while a handfull of surfers enjoyed the
low crowd. Another bump in the swell due tomorrow so giddy
up folks!! Boots Wednesday, 18 June,
2008. The swell increased over night.Saw some solid 8ft
waves at Launching Pads through to speedys.Glassy conditions early however the
offshore trade wind came in a little late for the high tide, although there was
some great surfing going down in the grunty conditions. A
few wct surfers where here Taj Burrow and Luke Stedman where frothing on their
gland session. The guests are looking forward another wholesome
buffet dinner after a big days surfing and a few bintangs over another epic sunset. Boots Tuesday,
17 June, 2008. The swell hit today with avengence!! 6 ft
in the morning and by dark it was 10ft solid outside but mostly washing out on
the low tide. While the tide was high in the morning there were some great money
trees waves! Plenty of action here today folks!! and its just
the start of a good stint of swell and tides.... Boots Monday,
16 June, 2008. Fun waves today up at Kongs, long walls
running for over 50 meters at a time. Not too much down the rest of the reef today
but you know if its small here its FLAT everywhere else!! tomorrow should be another
story........stay tuned. Boots Sunday,
15 June, 2008. Still 5ft here this morning, the early birds
were treated to some decent waves up at Kongs and Money Tree's. The swell is waning
and did drop off through the day so most of the action this afternoon was up at
Kongs with the odd 4ft set up there. Looks like a couple of
days of smallish waves, so we can all re gather ourselves to contemplate another
looming swell on Tuesday!! Boots Saturday,
14 June, 2008. A bump in the swell today! Solid 6ft all
down the reef from Kongs to Speedies. There was not allot of tide to deal with
the speedies section however the rest of the reef was surfable all day long. The
best section was Money Tree's today and everyone got there Money's worth so to
speak !! Boots Friday, 13 June, 2008. Today
there was a few nice waves early untill the tide went out.Through out the day
the swell cleaned up to provide us with some great waves in the 4-6 foot range.From
Money Trees down to the Fang into some shallow hollow suckers at speedys,With
the odd bombs hitting lauching pads.Another fine day of waves here at gland. Tomorrow
is shaping up to be another sick day. Just a quick word from
the Guru....The Yoga classes have been going off for the past six weeks, running
on through the season. A great way to warm up for the morning sesh or unwind after
a day of bazz's....and what's more, they're free! Boots, and
the Guru Thursday, 12 June, 2008. Today
saw a decent increase in swell size with waves in the 6-8 foot range. Initially
it was a bit washy through Money Trees but later in the afternoon on the higher
tide it cleaned up nicely through Money Trees. There were a few sets later in
the day hitting Launching Pads but unfortunately there was not enough tide for
Speedys to be working properly. A few of the boys went for
a session down to Tiger Tracks and were rewarded with some fun, clean 3 foot lefts
and rights. Jim Beam stole the show. Due to the overcast conditions
and small amount of rain there has been a lot of wildlife seen in the camp in
the last few days. Boots  Wednesday,
11 June, 2008. Today we had a slowly increasing swell reaching
a nice 3-5ft by the afternoon with clean glassy overcast conditions The
boys enjoyed some nice long waves at Kongs and some nice glassy barrels at Money
Trees .A few bigger gems realing down to Speedys as well. There
was a great session of yoga on early this morning run by our yoga guru, Max twisting
us into some good flexible stretches.All of those taking part are feeling the
benefits. He also runs classes in the afternoon as well. There
was a healthy crowd also watching the evening's State of Origin Rugby League match.
The mighty maroons had a convincing victory which kept the New South Welshman
in the camp pretty quiet over dinner while the lone Queenslander couldn't stop
smiling. Bring on Game 3. Boots Tuesday,
10 June,2008. Small clean waves again today slowly increasing
throughout the day. It reached a solid 3ft by the afternoon with gloomy overcast
conditions. Few fun ones up at kongs and a few runners at moneytrees There
were a few renovations on the viewing deck today so we are ready for a few sunset
beers this afternoon. Awaiting the bump in the swell tomorrow. Boots Monday,
9 June, 2008. Small clean waves again today, 2-3 ft up
at Kongs on both Low and High tide. Great conditions for the fish or longboarders! Plenty
of non surfing action around camp with ping pong battles going down!! A
new group of guests in camp today all fired up for some swell that is predicted
to start hitting on Wednesday. Boots Sunday,
8 June, 2008. A drop in swell overnight but still a few
clean left-handers to be enjoyed. Only in the 2-3 foot range but still some fun
to be had up at Kongs and Money Trees. The Aussies in camp
relaxed and enjoyed watching the Sunday afternoon AFL and NRL. It was a little
warm-up for Wednesday night's State of Origin. Scardy Saturday,
7 June, 2008. A good bump in the swell today, 4-5 feet
in the morning with the whole reef lighting up! The low crowds and all day surf
meant everyone got some good waves today. 
Slightly
smaller this afternoon however there was still the odd 4ft set rolling through
Money Trees. Winds were light again today, with perfect conditions we all like
to see. Apparently the fish have been on the bite too, with
reports of up to 25 trevally being caught by Dr Larry in one session behind kongs. Scardy Friday,
6 June, 2008. Surprisingly still some waves today! Kong
and Money Trees were in the 3ft range with the odd sneaker bigger set this afternoon.
Light winds today which made for super glassy conditions.
All
five volcanoes were able to be seen this morning in the distance over Grajagan
Village. This is usually a sign of lighter trade winds... but tomorrow who knows..
there is supposed to be a bump in the swell and amount of surfers on the point
is LOW! get out here!! Scardy Thursday,
5 June. 2008. The swell hung in there today, sets from
3-4ft for most of the day. Mostly Kongs and Money Trees today on both low and
high tides. Everyone surfed today. Those who were in camp
after lunch saw a small deer grazing on the camp's new grass and flowers right
in front of the rooms. The waves and wildlife never cease to
amaze out here in Plenkung National Park "Alas Purwo". Scardy Wednesday,
4 June, 2008.

Hey crew! another great day of waves today,
the swell dropped a little today (around 5-6ft) but was even cleaner and more
lined up. Everyone surfed on high tide at Money Trees with the odd set hitting
down at Launching Pads. This afternoon saw another pulse with
solid sets breaking on the bomby and doubling up on the Ledge and Fang (sections
of Money Trees). Lighter winds today which made for super glassy conditions. Scardy Tuesday,
3 June, 2008. Pumping Waves today! solid 6-8ft Money Trees,
it was good all day from Dawn to Dusk. The low tide still managed to hold the
swell and there was some really nice long barrells through Money Trees on Dusk.
The crowd was pretty mellow and everyone is surfed out. Looks
like the swell is hanging in there for another great day tomorrow. Scardy Monday,
2 June, 2008. It was really small early today, mainly Kongs
was being surfed. Late this afternoon saw an increase in the swell. There were
a few sneaking through Money Trees at the 4ft mark, a good sign for tomorrow.
Tides are great and a new swell brewing... everyone is pretty
excited for the next couple of days.... Scardy Sunday,
1 June, 2008. Still some 4ft sets early this morning with
the early high tide. The swell decreased through the day but it was still 3ft
up and Kongs and Money Trees. If the crew were not surfing they were watching
the Rugby League on the Television amongst other activities. Some
of the crew went down to Tiger Tracks and had some solitude, plus 3ft perfect
right-handers !! New Swell coming soon and the crew are ready
and waiting!! Scardy
