What They Don’t Tell You About Desert Point!

[@logantaueki9149]

Good shit zeke. Did well surfing amongst those sea snakes on every wave

[@OTCZeke]

Fa Sho haha Thanks🙌

[@chrisgreenough2581]

Progression of thoughts since I watched my first Zeke video six months ago up to today's: This guy is awesome! This guy is nuts! This guys is damn good skater. This guy is like a frat douche bag at the club! Nah this guy is pretty straight forward, rips, gets burned too and lives to fight another day. Keep up the great work Zeke. Your vids are awesome.

[@damienmartinez1376]

It’s refreshing to see a video of what it’s really like. Your waves were good. We get enough of the perfect wave videos all the times. Looks like you guys earned those waves. It’s also good to see a video of what a spots really like vs just the glamorous side. You travel and spend thousands to go to these places and it’s not all it’s cracked up to be sometimes.

[@OTCZeke]

[@dukie1616]

Absolutely despise the mentality of snakes burning the rightful man/person who put the work paddling himself or herself into the wave first! Keep your chin up, there’ll be more waves, a better brake and more respectful surfers to share them with. Sweet!

[@dangacore]

Brazzo's are a plague on Indo. I've met some good ones who travel alone but the one's that travel in groups are disgusting. Bad drop ins all day.

[@Jason-TheChad-Muska_circa1995]

This Guy☝️ "Not a single guy spoke English out there" Yeah bud that's because you are on a random island on one of the most Southeastern points of Asia. What you said is the equivalent of somebody flying from Turkmenistan to surf Lobitos Peru and being like, "Bruh wtf nobody speaks Turkmen in the lineup".

[@TwoTreesVisuals]

From what I hear zeke has no business complaining about drop ins.

[@aitutaki50]

Hi Zeke...obviously, from what you said, you had some issues in the lineup out there...nonetheless, when the videos of all your waves was presented here, it looks as if you did get quite a few decent waves...as to giving way to the locals--that's to be expected anywhere in the world 🌎....the main spots in Indonesia apparently now have a lot of decent local surfers, who grew up surfing those breaks, & they're not inclined to give way to foreign visitors...as to the Brazilians, I live in South Mission Beach, & I'm married to a beautiful woman from Rio de Janeiro...I've also trained Brazilian Jujitsu & other mixed martial arts for many years...still, when you're an outsider, it's best not to get into a fight...I used to live on the Big Island of Hawai'i for many years, & I lived in Hilo...many times, I was the only haole in the water...&, most times the locals were totally cool...however, there were a number of unpleasant confrontations over the years...sometimes, as you say, it's just best to hop back on the speedboat & split

[@thanksfortheinvite7253]

Desert’s looks like a horrible place now. Unless it’s 6-8 ft it’s just another indo runner

[@just1voice994]

Didn’t know about homie till he pulled that sick fingerflip thing at the wave pool which was amazing so I was super excited to watch this 20 min vid. I’m sorry but isn’t Desert point one of the most dangerous waves in the world? How the hell are these people so blatantly dropping in on homie. I’m 46 years old from San Diego and I get snaked all the time even though I am probably a better surfer than most and have had enough waves in my life where it don’t bother me but I am not surfing waves like this, heavy shallow reef in the middle of bfe indo. Maybe because homie burned literally burned his buddies foot for an extremely long time or I don’t know but that was insane snake o rama. Anyway much love to Indo and homie representing San Diego Padres. Peace.

Went twice in ‘92 and ‘94. Both times it was as flat as a pancake.

[@GlennInLaguna]

@@marcelboogaard3809 Pretty much same here. I only spent 3 and 4 days respectively and got it pretty good one evening at super low tide. This was also pre-Surfline, so you did not know in advance. Also, pre-road to in front of the break. Had to pack your own food and bring your own sleeping gear. And had to hike in from around the point at the end of the wave. But at least it was uncrowded LOL. In '92 where did you sleep and do about food?

Unfortunately, gone are the days of peace love and captain Goodvibes. If you want waves just about anywhere in the world these days, you have to be prepared to back yourself physically and not be shy in giving some verbal if cvnts want to do the wrong thing. This tends to settle the pack somewhat.
