“Surfing with apex predators is not optimal.”
The name Martin Daly rings a few bells don’t it. You might remember him as the skipper of the Indies Trader, the fifty-year-old former salvage boat Marty used to explore the Mentawai Islands, revealing the remarkable archipelago slowly over a decade.
First with Rip Curl’s The Search movie series and peaking with Jeff Hornbaker’s No Destination and The Hole at the end of the nineties.
These days he’s master of a Pacific alt-universe specifically Beran Island in the Marshals, a twenty-hour sail from Majuro, the republic’s capital city.
It’s where Natural Selection played out, if you’re wondering.
Anyway, back to the Ments.
Earlier today, Daly posted footage of a crocodile swimming through the Macaronis lineup.
Rumours of crocs at one of my most favourite waves that I’ve been surfing for over 40 years are rumours no longer. Big fella has been there for quite a while, saw another only slightly smaller one last year at a nearby break. First we’ve seen here , surfing with apex predators is not optimal , they have left us alone up until now but…..

Confirmation of the sighting at Macaronis was revealed in the comments and, further afield in the Telos, one surfer told of a croc killing a local woman.

sooo in other words… he’s sailing back to Indo to re-discover empty line-ups.
I do recall our captain mentioning them when anchored there some 17 years ago…
Fucken old news .steaming past a river mouth eons ago a local pointed at it and said crrrock eat local there. Onnnly local. Fuck you bule! Bule taste bad !
Send in Thor. After he’s done barrel dodging he can pretend he’s Steve Irwin.
Always get ask if I’m afraid of sharks and I’m like no, but crocs..
Love a good retaliation story. 300 dead crocs seems fair.
When you gonna switch back to Blowin?
Surf photogs should be culled, especially the ones that exploit everywhere they have been and then lie about it all while trying to sell their new book and company. POS.
I dispute the lying part, but oui; I have a book available for preorder on Amazon!
Where can I buy .will monopoly money do ?
No monopoly money, sorry –

Australia on Booktopia – preorder, Kindle format
Shoot them and make them into HamSammishes.
I think they taste more like chicken and mild fish over ham but ChickenMildFishSammishes doesn’t have the same ring as HamSammish.
your sense of justice is moot fuckhead. War is horrible and bad shit happens, perhaps hamas, the tootis, hezbollah, al quieda, the taliban, iran should stop starting shit.
Why dont you tell us again why LA deserved to burn you fucking scum bag.
Halfway down the comments on his own post Daly has this to say.

But a lot of people say he’s always been a bullshit artist, especially since he bought (and buried) the surf adjacent drug dealing movie that may (or may not) have incriminated him…
Bingo ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The film is supposed to be re-edited to remove the legally questionable sections, but once those are on the cutting room floor, what is left?
Martin Daly talking about . . . Martin Daly
I’d give it 95% on being Maccas, the saffa that shot this works(illegally) for the cunts at Maccas resort. The brazos that have built a new joint closest to the waves have posted several clips of a local croc.
I think Daly is an apex predator—exploiting the waves way back when with Quicksilver, to line his own pockets.
https://uploads.disquscdn.c… Slater has gotten stem cell rejuvenation and is heading to Mentawis to tame the crocs.
This is, unbelievably, not an AI photo.
Pretty funny. You have a drone flying overhead filming a croc swimming, that’s it. You’d think the drone operator would have pulled back at some point and shown that it was actually at Maca’s but it probably wasn’t.
Shouldn’t be any problem to catch the crocodile and dispatch it with a shotgun shell through the mouth.
Plenty of good meat for the barbeque and the skin can be sold –
This is Indonesia, not Norway or Switzerland –
Do that in Australia and you’ll get a deal with Netflix
Been there for yonks. Once while dismayed at every fuckwit on earth snaking and dropping in I gave up only to return in the midnight hours with a few lords to gorge! We all had a skin full but I’d had a few gins and eight longnecks.
Getting tubed with the moon shining through the roof was a trip.
Crocs be dammed! Heard the land camp was it satiated with chooks!
Xox
Crowd control. Long shot but worth a try.
