WHAT SURFBOARDS TO TAKE ON A INDO TRIP | Nic Von Rupp

Indo season is fast approaching and the question on everyones mind when packing for a trip like that is. What board should I pack? how many boards? what models, do I need a step up?

In this video im taking you thru all the surfboards I rode last year in the Mentawaiis, while showing some of the best raw footage that went down in Indo last year

Just a little tease to start of the Indo Season.

Carnage at Teahupoo

Video by Nic Von Rupp

Teahupoo just went crazy last week with some crew really pushing the limits. Amazing to see the locals dominating and charging really hard, which for us HAOLES means we can scrap for the impossible ones. Some really heavy wipe outs went down,  with Pain and headaches for us surfers, but carnage entertainment for the fans.

Honestly, some people see wipe outs as a fail, I see it bravery act of pushing the limits, where sometimes you fail but when you do end up making it you are setting yourself up for a ride of a lifetime.

Here is a a short edit of the best Teahupoo Carnage of this last swell.

NEW WORLD RECORD AT NAZARÉ? | Nic Von Rupp

 

This season has been mind-blowing, Huge swell after Huge swell, some crazy rides have been ridden... In this episode, I take you thru the season, to those waves that I think are some of the best this year that might be considered record breaking. I also express myself on the defaults of what in my perspective is wrong when it comes down to measuring waves, as every year as soon as the Nazaré Season finish you see claims of record breaking waves being ridden. 

Is this the year we will see a new world record?

Nazare Biggest Swell of the Season | Nic Von Rupp

Video by Nic Von Rupp.

2021 and 2022 has been a huge season for Nazaré, Massive swell after Massive Swell, Injuries after Injuries most of the tow teams have been swiped out including myself.. I was supposed to be out for the season due to a rib injury, but after seeing the Huge swell approaching Nazaré at 23ft at 21sec with perfect offshore winds, I knew it was a swell I couldn't miss out on, ribs were hurting, yet I felt like I needed to ignore that and just face the beast. So I called up Chumbo, he flew in from Hawaii and we made it happen.

A day for the history books | Nazaré January 8, 2022

Last weekend was insane, some of the biggest cleanest waves we had seen out at Nazaré. 

A day of perfect 50-70ft waves with plenty of successful rides but also some heavy heavy 

wipe outs and close calls.
