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…

One master shaper. Two great swells. Eight great guests. Magic trip. Let’s meet the legends. Nev Hyman, Gold Coast QLD. Eternal Grommet – the Legend foam-mower who shaped guests a custom board each for this trip. Super-genuine human with a million stories, and humble about his achievements. Only missed one session all trip. Shall we…

WSL commentator Joe Turpel could barely raise himself out of bed for the better part of a fortnight just recently. A part of him was missing – and that part was ’89 World Champ Martin Potter… who’d bolted to Telo Island Lodge with a bunch of buddies. Let’s do a quick roll call. Martin Potter.…

A good bunch of surf-hungry humans called Telo Lodge home, 3rd-13th August. They came from all over the planet and headed home with appetites satisfied. So, with no further ado, let’s meet: Adam Trehane. London, UK. Adam’s 2nd time to TIL. Poor bugger missed his connection out of Singapore and instead of doing the Nias/ferry…

You probably haven’t heard of …Lost Surfboards by Mayhem – it’s an obscure surfboard brand with hardly any worthwhile team riders to speak o… WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Here’s just a few …Lost team riders: Carissa Moore, Caroline Marks, Grif Colapinto, Joan Duru, Kolohe Andino, Mason Ho, Yago Dora, Mick Rodrigues, Taj Burrow and…

An epic bunch of legends from different cultures and creeds came and surfed their brains out here at Telo Lodge. Lets meet ‘em quick smart. Derek “Tonsil” Levy Earnt the nickname ‘Tonsil” after spectacular lip-launch at GTs. Ringleader of the trip and hard charger who enjoyed the technical nature of GT’s. Chiro by trade out…

Swell of the year (so far) greeted this epic guest group. So let’s not dick around. Meet Team Telo! Brett “The Captain” Cooper. Cronulla NSW. Coops’ 5th visit and he makes the calls round these parts (even insisted the title for this report be 208 degrees – if you know, you know). Good thing he’s…

A quiet trip this one – with just four guests – and it was delightful. Without further ado, meet… Joe and Deb Evans. Perth, WA. This is Joe’s fifth trip and Deb’s third, and they are the two nicest humans you will ever come across. Joe will go for any wave he’s called into, no…

Solid trip this one, with the exception of one session at three-foot E.R, the swell didn’t dip below four feet the whole time… The boys even had to take a breather on day seven due to total surf exhaustion (and if it wasn’t for morning yoga some of the crew’s arms might have fallen off…).…

Sorry for the delay in Telo Lodge transmissions gang. Indo’s holy month of Ramadan tends to put the brakes on things like telecommunications… So this report is a bit late – expect a follow up report in a day or two as well and we’ll be back on track! OK, so as you’ll see in…
