Joel Surfs G-Land for His First Time (and gets an INDO EYE TATTOO)

We all can relate to having a drastic change in our life that completely clouds our world with darkness. Something along the lines of losing a family member, breaking up with a long term girlfriend, or losing your job. Joel didn't let darkness take over and decided to visit Indonesia for his first time. His dad surfed G-Land back in the 70s and he grew up hearing the stories. So when he contacted me about taking him out to some good left handers and filming I immediately suggested we do a proper trip over to G-land. JOEL WAS GAME!
We hopped on a fast boat from Bali arranged by Jawa Jiwa and 2.5 hours later we were in Javanese National Park paradise. Joel was able to experience a lot of firsts. Monkeys. Tropical Fruit. Warm Indonesian blue barrels. And a mental uplift from life's realities from a far distance away.
We spent 3 nights at Jawa Jiwa and Matt the owner set us up so proper. It was ridiculously good food and even a BGS Cafe on-site providing the most frothiest of coffees everyday.
Joel asked if he could get a tattoo of my Indo Eye logo after the trip was finished. As if I was going to say no! What an honor. What a legend. And what a trip together to capture priceless memories and enable a hard time to become one of the best experiences of his life.
Joel doesn't have social media either and simply wanted these memories for himself and his family. It was a true pleasure to make this trip happen for the dude and I hope you enjoy this video as much as we did making it.

I'm going to keep the videos coming as I've seen the YouTube LIGHT and I'm ready to follow it. So hit subscribe and stay tuned to the goods. Cheers
