Fall things….
Outer Banks Pro, Cabin Fever from Ross Howatt on Vimeo. It’s been over a month since I have been home from Indonesia and I must say, being home has been an adventure in it self. A trip to Hatteras for the Outer Banks Pro, weekly fishing, Jaguar games, amazing dinner parties, live music, and the...
The realization and back to reality
Its been a little more than a week since I last wrote anything…I wouldn’t call it “writer’s block” because I’m not a writer, and it’s not that I have been to busy surfing “professionally” because I’m definitely not a pro surfer. For those of you that don’t know me and know what I do for...
Groms of Uluwatu
Last year when I surfed Uluwatu it was solid everyday but El-Nino has really affected Indonesia, as well as the rest of the world. Usually this time of year Indo has these long lasting, drawn out swells. But from what I’ve seen and heard of, the swells this winter have been very bleak. Not to...

We weren’t even on land and already someone was trying to sell us something. This man had a crossbow and was yelling at everyone on the boat from the beach. He started at $20 then to $15, then $10, then 10,000 Rupiah. 10,000 Rupiah is like a dollar. I could have had a $200 crossbow...

“G-land”, is absolutely the most amazing place I’ve ever been. It takes a lot for me to say that considering the fact that I’m a pretty avid traveler. Where do I began, first off thank the sweet Lord I am out of Kuta. That place had me contemplating suicide, not really but it does suck...
Bali bagus, Kuta bogus…
Glad to say I got my first session under my belt, the first is always rough after traveling for 20 something hours. I surfed Cangu with Rizal and Taylor Steele, I think my cutbacks and floaters landed me a part in his next video… Cangu is a super wedged beach break with a crazy rip...
Bali Bound…
And so it begins… Traveling alone is one thing but traveling to the other side of the world and out of your comfort zone completely by yourself is a whole different realm. As I anxiously await my flight to Atlanta with a connection to Korea, then straight to Bali for a 3 week “Drifter” trip....
