WE DID IT! 2846.7km in 115 Days.
The dream of searching for perfect waves has always been in the back of the boys’ minds, (Dylan left, Rian right) with surf films only torturing ‘what could be’.

Now that dream has come true. Dylan and Rian cycled 2846.7km across Sumatra, Java and Bali, returning to Australia on 12 October 2009 with the thought 'We did it!'.

It took 115 days of traveling and they visited the worlds best surf breaks, Lagundri Bay on Palau Nias, HT's and Lances left on the remote island of Sipora, the heavey reef break of Asu, Cimaja, Pangandaran, Pacitan, G-Land, and the many waves of Bali.

Rian and Dylan would like to thank there sponsors and all the kind and generous people they met along the trip. Without these acts of kindness, they would of had a really tough journey.

The guys will now work hard to produce a DVD of there adventures, which will show you exactly how they got to these world class waves.

Bukitinggi to Padang - One long day 22 July 2009 Dylan here - Well we set of first thing this morning expecting it to be a big day, and it was. Starting off with a 10 km climb between two huge volanoes and then we started the decent down to Padang. The decent started well stick close to the side of the road to let many trucks pass. Rian was in front at one section of a blind winding bend when one car over-taking towards us almost cleaned Rian up, he managed to squeeze past the car, only just.
