Standing out from the crowd

In the crowded lineup, this surfer found an escape route. Bali.

Balinese Surfer: Rahtu Suargita

Rahtu Suargita takes a peak at the heaving barrels of Padang Padang in Bali following his session. Below is Rahtu turning it on in Kuta.

Tricky Water-Padang and low tide

This unusual view of Padang Padang in Bali was made during a large swell and very low tide. Of course, it's not as bad as it looks. There were plenty of surfers and photogs out in the line up. From this angle though, it's not very inviting.

Kelly Slater: Icon

This is one of my favorite shots of Kelly Slater. I shot this at the 2008 Boost Mobile Pro and Trestles. Slater won that one on his way to his Ninth World Title.

Luke Cederman lands in Bali

Here's Kiwi aerialist and Volcom rider Luke Cederman working on his repertoire in Bali.

Padang Padang super low tide

This is kind of a different angle of Padang in Bali. The tide was so low that I was able to walk out on the opposite reef. It almost looks like a slab wave with the heavy lip and churning foreground.

Garut Widiarta airlines

For the next several months I'll be back in the real world. Well, my real world anyway, which means I won't be shooting any surf for a while. So I'll be regularly posting some new pics from the last five months to keep the blog fresh.

That's Made Widiarta, aka Garut in form in the afternoon soon.
