But before we rip in, a MASSIVE APOLOGY in
- [SEPTEMBER SESSIONS](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/september-sessions/) - Good bunch of travellers made themselves at home at Telo Lodge just now. Say hello to: Dr Amy “Billy’s Mum” Weich – Goofy footed surf mum from Hawaii, loved surfing Max’s Left and taking a swing at the sets. A hip flexor issue was never a problem out in the water, but strangely proved challenging
- [THEY’VE GOT THE MUSIC IN ’EM](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/theyve-got-the-music-in-em/) - One of the best things about hosting you guys is there’s always a dark horse in every group, who comes along and sprinkles a little extra magic dust into the mix.

- [SIX OF THE BEST](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/six-of-the-best/) - As August morphed into September, the surf in Indo remained – hmmmm, how do we put this kindly – variable.

- [THE MANDURAH MARAUDERS](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/the-mandurah-marauders/) - We’ve been a bit quiet on the trip report front lately.

What better way to get back on the horse than to share the story of TIL Trip 16, where
- [INDEPENDENCE DAY](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/independence-day/) - Epic waves and good times aside, one of the greatest things about a trip to the Telos is connecting with Indonesia’s rich culture, and the kind-hearted, resilient people of the Telo Islands. This trip coincided with August 17, Indonesia’s Independence Day, marking the moment back in 1945 when Indonesia declared itself, well, independent. It was a
- [CURSE OF THE FAT HATTERS](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/curse-of-the-fat-hatters/) - Newsflash: Telo Lodge trip 15 had pretty f@#k’n ordinary surf! It happens from time to time.

- [THE BIOLOS BRIGADE](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/the-biolos-brigade/) - Some trips at Pinnacles are just fellas surfing. Other times, like these ten days in late July are different: As well as surf-til-you-drop, there’s partners! Kids!

- [QUIET TRIUMPH](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/quiet-triumph/) - Turning 60 is a solid landmark in anyone’s life, particularly for a surfer.

- [TENA BAROSH!](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/tena-barosh/) - No doubt you’re asking, “What the heck does Tena Barosh mean?” Now, we might not have the spelling right, but Tena Barosh is Hebrew for “Hit It On The Head!” … which was a multi-purpose motto for this trip. Basically, anything that contained an element of Stoke was Tena Barosh, and there was a LOT
- [BIG DOGS & RIPPERS](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/big-dogs-rippers/) - Casting back to a full house at Pinnacles North Telo in July, with two amazing New Zealand families – The Scotts and The Lampens – and an epic couple from Oz, Nicole and Steve Cottell, as lovely as they are stylish. We’re all about every surfer having the time of their lives, so this trip
- [SILVER LININGS](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/silver-linings/) - We’re in the tropics, right? There’s palmtree-lined beaches, right? It’s all blue sky and tradewinds, right? Well, what’s this bloody thunderstorm all about then? Yep, we get some weather here sometimes, but that’s cool, it makes for epic atmospherics, the storms blow through faster than a GTs takeoff, and normal tropical transmission returns before you
- [FRESHWATER CREEK'S FINEST](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/freshwater-creeks-finest/) - The ‘Surf Coast’ of Victoria, in Australia, is known by surfers worldwide as the home of Bells Beach, Winkipop, as well as many other fine coldwater breaks.

- [THE BRAINS TRUST](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/the-brains-trust/) - There’s a few outdated and just plain silly stereotypes that still linger a little in surfing: the notion that “girls don’t / can’t surf” being the most outrageously false. Another misleading trope is that surfers, from an intelligence point of view are “not the sharpest knives in the drawer”. If anyone holds the opinion that
- [PAPA SMURF'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/papa-smurfs-excellent-adventure/) - We’re right in the midst of the Indo swell season and the Telo Island Lodge good vibes factory keeps pumping at high revs.This was another small guest group with only five legends joining us.

- [PLUG INTO THE POWER SOURCE](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/plug-into-the-power-source/) - Many factors make up a day chasing surf in the Telos: boards, wax, boats, waves, sunscreen, legropes and so on.

- [JUST … PUMPING!](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/just-pumping/) - This is why we come to the Telos. Surf. Fizzing, hissing, cracking, booming, perfect surf. The Indian Ocean pumped, and our guests leaned into a trip for the books. When the surf’s on fire like this, everything gets reduces to the fundamentals. Dinner was really important on this trip. With full attendance every night, reciting the highs and

Now, you might be wondering about the title of this report… Well, “Riding the bumps with a grin” is a line from the Hawthorn Footy Club’s theme song. All of which is a way of introducing Ben Stratton
- [LET LOVE RULE!](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/let-love-rule/) - Remember that song? “Let Love Rule”? It was the title track of Lenny Kravitz’s first album, released (your writer does a quick google search and falls off his chair) … way back in bloody 1989. Anyway, if you’re inclined, search and stream the song as soundtrack for this report, because this was a week at
- [PURPOSE IN PARADISE](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/purpose-in-paradise/) - Say you’re a suit-and-tie-wearing fella in a big city, and you’re tight with a great bunch of colleagues and mates, all of whom – like yourself – are keen surfers.

- [FLAT!](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/flat/) - Yep, it happens!

- [KIWIS, HONEYMOONERS & AUSSIE RIPPERS](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/kiwis-honeymooners-aussie-rippers/) - The great thing about Aganoa is the options that accommodate the different experience levels of our guests: Like on this last trip, during the peak of the swell, we had out the front heaving and firing, while legend local guide Lee took a few crew back down to Middles for more playful options, meanwhile ‘Little
- [HERE, THERE, EVERYWHERE!](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/here-there-everywhere/) - If you’re like us, you’ll watch the odd WSL surf comp webcast (sometimes hidden in the corner of your screen while you’re at work yeah?) Watching those comps, you’ll be aware of how ‘priority’ dictates a surfer’s approach to a heat. Surfer A (with priority) sits and waits patiently for a bomb, while surfer B
- [A GAME OF TWO HALVES](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/a-game-of-two-halves/) - Over the course of a ten day trip in Indo you generally expect to run into a couple of swells and have a few quiet days sprinkled here and there. This most recent go-round at Pinnacles, was, as the title suggests, more a game of two halves. The first five days was, literally, non-stop surf
- [FREE TO ROAM](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/free-to-roam/) - In contrast to all the family groups we’ve hosted lately, this last week has been a super mellow affair.

The surf may

- [OLD MATES](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/old-mates/) - So much good stuff happened on this trip it’s gonna be hard to share it all without writing a small book. Let’s just say it pumped, barrels were had, fish were caught, birthdays were celebrated, fireworks were let off, and a few Gold Coast mates of superguide Zak (Jacko, Josh and Simon) finally found out
- [FAMILY MATTERS](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/family-matters/) - Sheesh! Sorry about the delay on this one!

- [TELO TRIPPING WITH LSD](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/telo-tripping-with-lsd/) - Another Shaper’s trip passed through Telo Island Lodge this last week-and-a-half, and what an outstanding bunch of humans they were.

- [SAN DIEGO AMIGOS](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/san-diego-amigos/) - We love it when we’ve got a full house, but we also love it when we’ve got a tight-knit small bunch here at Pinnacles on Telo. Three amigos from San Diego made Pinnies home for the last ten days and to say they made the most of their time with us would be an understatement.
- [BRENDO'S BOYS](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/brendos-boys/) - Seven mates from Colorado/Philly/Montana came and hung out with us last week, and we reckon it might just go down as trip of the year! You can take the boys out of the Rockies – but they’ll still find ways to support their beloved Philadelphia Eagles in action – even cracking beers at 6.00am to
- [stanmore's finest](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/stanmores-finest/) - She was a little sleepy through the middle of the year but the mighty Pacific Ocean has dusted herself off and is back in sparkling form. A great group of tight-knit mates swung through the Aganoa gates recently. Hailing from Stanmore on the NSW South Coast, these legends are all buddies from high school. These
- [CLEAN CONDITIONS & CHARMING COMPANY](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/clean-conditions-charming-company/) - Some cruisy characters made Pinnies home last week. Moderate swell and mellow winds opened up a wide spectrum of breaks – from Le Ba to Max’s Right to The Bubble, and our backyard Break Pinnacles was in fine form. We surfed, we dived, we snorkelled through caves, we fished, and there may even have been
- [KIWI KONQUEST](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/kiwi-konquest/) - A bunch of UnZud fullas from Auckland made Telo Lodge home for the last ten days, and Max’s Right kept the action close to home by turning it on out front for a week.

- [Muzza's Mob. Bourton shapes at the lodge.](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/muzzas-mob-bourton-shapes-at-the-lodge/) - The WNW wind is a friend to many on the East Coast of Australia, but it’s a bastard in the Telos, and unfortunately this bastard, along with some unseasonally crapulous weather made its presence felt for our group of champion guests. This trip was convened by deadset legend master shaper Murray Bourton, who shaped each
- [BEAUTIFUL NORMALITY](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/beautiful-normality/) - After the apocalyptic swell bombardments of July, it’s been a relief of sorts to enjoy fun surf in the three to five feet range.

- [BOB'S BOYS](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/bobs-boys/) - This was the third time back to The Lodge for this epic crew of Sandgropers* It should be every surfer’s ambition to make it to your seventh decade and be fit, healthy, and still doing surf trips with the mates you grew up surfing alongside.

- [SUNNY DAYS, SMOOTH WAVES](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/sunny-days-smooth-waves/) - Bright sunny days and the smoothest of waves sailed us through this past week at the lodge. Learners rose to their feet for the first time as the more experienced belted sections, the locals danced and picnics were had between adventuring to the waterfalls and blowholes. Something for everyone, in other words. We hosted a
- [TAKES ALL KINDS](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/takes-all-kinds/) - We love it when Telo Lodge hosts people from all over the place. It only takes a surf, a feed and a cold beverage to break the ice, and great new friendships are made. Speaking of which, here’s some people you should meet. Simon Ellis lives in Brighton, England. Simon had a great trip out
- [LA FAMILIA ARGENTINA](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/la-familia-argentina/) - Huey sent us bombing swell from the southern ocean, Argentina sent us the Mignaquy family, and the result was a really special experience for all of us.

- [BONNEY'S BOYZ](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/bonneys-boyz/) - Telo Lodge was full to the brim with larger-than-life characters this last ten days, and as you no-doubt know already, the surf has been going mental.

- [AWESOME FOURSOME](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/awesome-foursome-2/) - Four fine Kiwi blokes made Pinnacles their home for the last ten days and it’s fair to say they had as good a trip as humanly possible, with three back-to-back swells, including swell of the year/decade/ever.

- [BEST MATES & BOOMERANGS](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/best-mates-boomerangs/) - We’re right in the guts of the surf season here in the Telos.

- [MY THREE SONS](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/my-three-sons/) - Lots of energy both in the ocean and around the Lodge this trip!

- [A DIFFERENT SURF ADVENTURE (PART ONE)](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/a-different-surf-adventure-part-one/) - Pegasus Lodges has always been about tropical surf adventures: Telo and Tenggara in the Indian Ocean, Samoa and Fanning in the Pacific etc, but life’s all about mixing it up, and so we’ve added a pretty cool new destination to our quiver of experiences. And by ‘cool’, we’re talking steamers and booties, black bears on
- [TOGETHERNESS](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/togetherness/) - If there’s one thing Aganoa Lodge knows how to do – other than supply its guests with an abundance of waves – it’s to give couples and families a chance to connect the best way possible – by having fun together! Smartphones are put aside for Snorkelling, work is swapped for waterfalls, and the pressures
- [MIX IT UP!](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/mix-it-up/) - In surf trips – as in life – sometimes you just gotta shake things up a bit, take the road less travelled, and see what happens.

- [OLD GUYS RULE...](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/old-guys-rule/) - Boards of a certain length and humans of a certain vintage took over the lodge this trip, and Huey approved by slinging through solid swell for these experienced chargers.

- [XXL SWELL](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/xxl-swell/) - As soon as we spotted the low pressure system that resulted in the historic XXL Cloudbreak swell, we knew that its trajectory was aimed straight at us, coming in hot from the south-west. Happy couple Rob and Clara were the ones basking in the Samoan sun this last week, with a great run of weather
- [LADS LOVIN' IT...](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/lads-lovin-it/) - Close your eyes at Telo Lodge, and what do you hear? You’ll hear the sound of surf on reef, the rustle of palm trees, and you’ll most likely pick up the twangy, (some say harsh) sounds of the Australian accent as Aussie surfers say Aussie things to their Aussie mates. Not this trip, though. The
- [A REASON, NOT AN EXCUSE](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/a-reason-not-an-excuse/) - The busy-ness of modern life often gets in the way of the important things: surf trips, good friends, stopping to take a moment to actually enjoy yourself. Sometimes it takes an event or milestone to spur us into action. In the case of Brandon Tesser and Glen Feig – long-time friends from L.A who hadn’t
- [AWWW, AN AGANOA LOVE STORY](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/awww-an-aganoa-love-story/) - Huey may be the omnipotent God of surf, capable of delivering fearsome bombs or heartbreaking flat spells depending on His whim, but this week Huey showed he’s an old romantic at heart, sending Brisbane couple Will and Phillipa a delightful three-to-four foot south swell and beautiful weather conditions for their honeymoon at Aganoa. Guest wise,
- [THE ...LOST BOYS](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/the-lost-boys/) - For many surfers coming to Telo Lodge, part of the fun is fine tuning the quiver, considering which boards to bring over.

- [NEW WAVE ALERT](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/new-wave-alert/) - It’s amazing how you can live on an island for years and still be finding new waves!

What better way to make a new discovery
- [REUNITED!](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/reunited/) - Pumping surf made for a lot of highlights on this Telo Lodge trip but maybe the sweetest moment of all was the reunion of Telo Lodge’s superdog Dre with Dan Corbett – legend former surf guide and onsite manager, who returned to TIL for a visit.

- [ALL RISE!](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/all-rise/) - Court is in session, the verdict is in, and the verdict is it’s PUMPING. Ok, so we’re getting carried away with the courtroom metaphors, but it’s not every day you have an extremely distinguished Judge as one of your guests. Charles Tinlin, hailing from St Augustine, Florida, was of course too modest to mention stuff
- [SWISS ARMY!](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/swiss-army/) - Our most recent guest group has been dominated – in a nice way – by a happy foursome from Switzerland: Chris, Urban, Steve and Marcel.

- [the melting pot](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/the-melting-pot/) - For the last ten days TIL turned into a mini United Nations, where cultural barriers dissolved in shared surf stoke, good food and well-earned beers.

- [THE FESTIVAL OF TURBO!](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/the-festival-of-turbo/) - When happy families aren’t making Aganoa home for the week, and couples aren’t canoodling in their romantic falés overlooking the South Pacific, Aganoa is known to occasionally get booked out with boys’ trips.

- [the trip maker](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/the-trip-maker/) - There was no shortage of swell action for guests at Pinnacles on Telo this week.

- [Heaven Sent & Hell Bent](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/heaven-sent-hell-bent/) - Typically, our southerly groundswells originate somewhere near Tasmania, sneak between Australia and New Zealand and arrive in the Samoa surf zone with a healthy 14-18 second period. While the lines from this recent swell event were marching their way to Samoa from the south, our guests – a classic crew of chargers from the U.S
- [Veterans and Birthday Celebrations](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/veterans-and-birthday-celebrations/) - As we speak the most solid swell of the year is rumbling through the Telos, and we’ll share a few pics soon, but first let’s recap on a recent ripper trip, in which we had a great bunch of veterans coming through, a few with their sons in tow. Andy brought his son Harry, Tim
- [awesome foursome](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/awesome-foursome/) - Hard to believe we’re halfway through April already! And true to early-season form we’ve had decent swell energy, light winds, and an extremely stoked guest group. Due to a family regrettably having to cancel their trip, we had four lucky guests with the lodge and lineups to themselves, and they certainly made the most of
- [Pacific on Pause](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/pacific-on-pause/) - The Pacific Ocean was in a lazy ol’ mood this last week, with only limited swell energy coming our way. No matter, between our contingency plan (an onsite quiver of soft-tops - the ultimate in novelty surf craft) and a few fun pulses, we still managed to show our guests a great time, Even at
- [So fun we wrote another one](https://pegasuslodges.com/surf-reports/so-fun-we-wrote-another-one/) - Trip nine wrapped up a few days ago, and the surf’s been cooking for trip ten, so we’ve only now been able to catch our breath and recap.
