Lost at sea: Elliot Foote's Mad Surf Story (Part 1)

from Mad Surf Stories podcast · host James Russell

Part 1: It was the trip of a lifetime, but not in the way Elliot Foote expected. Turning 30, and wanting to celebrate, Elliot headed for Indonesia with his girlfriend and ten of his mates. Bingtangs, barrels, and banter: the trip was everything he’d dreamed of. Until, that is, it wasn’t. They decided to catch a ferry for the Banyak Islands, and that’s when things started to go awry. Like most Aussies, Elliot is a gifted storyteller, and it’s a long story, so we’ve split this into two parts. Enjoy! Ngā mihi for the chat, Elliot!
