WAM’s predictions haven’t been so accurate lately. We have great respect to anyone responsible for the site and it’s still the first forecast to visit, but it’s a great chance for a funny post to pleasure ourselves, since the waves aren’t cooperating.
More and more surfers aren’t willing to wake up early in the morning since they have doubts for the predictions.. they prefer to get the wake up call from someone who’s already there.
Therefore, the legendary band WAM got a new hit..
According to last weekend’s forecast, the swell hitting the west and southwest coasts of pelloponisos, was going to be the biggest of the year! It’s a weekend you don’t wanna miss. A weekend you wished to be in all spots simultaneously!
Since you can’t be in more than one place at the time, a group of friends decided to split and go North and South… each group hunting the best conditions out there.
We “follow” group #1 who went North and all the way down. Unfortunately, South was the place to be. W²
Thanx V.Missas for providing the pics and info.
… that it was gonna be crap!
With the forecast going purple, i guess it was better than we imagined. You hoped for the best but you got what you expected.. a crappy, huge, full of salty spray day. W²
Thanx to AndreasTsam photography
On shore winds in the morning, huge sets but most close out. Smaller waves, lighter winds during the afternoon. Add a broken board and you have the first day of 2012!
Happy new year everybody! W²
Pelloponisos 01/01/2012
In case you didn’t notice, Vouliagmeni is “working” these days.
The crowd is getting out of control…
We need a man for the situation, the man who’ll save the day, we need a local!!!
Once again, we found the solution to the problem, we got the one that even the CST are intimidated by! W²

Nature at its best, nice weather, your mates, good swell and lots of surfing.
A great main point in the heart of the village, reef brake, fast waves that can get pretty tricky during big days!
Within 35min range you can find great spots, like lighthouse, greenroom, whisky point, pottuvil, crocodile rock, elephant rock, peanut farm and oganda. It’s the “regular” paradise since all spots have right waves. There is one left wave but it’s not working that often.
Add some great food and cheap accommodation (3euros per night) and there you have it… Sri Lanka!
Overall, a great trip and definitely an opportunity for a level upgrade!
Thanx to Kostantinos Ch. aka “the Mayor” for the pics and text.
Also props to the whole team, Phoebe, Chran and Nantia, Alex, Giorgos P., Eddie and Katerina and great thanx for shooting the pics to Amir and Stefanos Manic Side! W²
The SURF MADNESS by Sterling Spencer’s pinchmysalt.tv is coming for a free download in 8 days. Knowing Spencer’s sense of humor I think it’s going to be,well let’s say… a good try.
As the description says surf madness is “A glimpse into the twisted, sarcastic and down-right hilarious mind of surfer Sterling Spencer, as he, and a handfull of talented friends set off across the globe in search of the ultimate ride. ”Some of the friends are taj,dane,ando,jordy,nate tyller,warren smith&more.
So stick with the trailer guys.. at least until the download link for the full movie appears on this site! W²
Sucks to be a No. 3 doesn’t it?! W²
Thanx Makis for sharing the pics
This is a 12min documentary by The Surfers Journal profiling the strong connection between the world-known surfer Nate Tyler and his father John.
As is written on Matt Payne’s vimeo,” The result of this documentary is an esoteric composition that gives the viewer a feeling for the father and son, yet projects a universal ideal of the relationship between generations.”
Filmed by Joe Guglielmino and edited by Matt Payne this video is a great way to spend your next 12 minutes of this flat and sunny Sunday. W²
