Megan Abubo’s Journal

I just went to Indonesia on a boat trip with 7 amazingly diverse, musically inclined, artistically talented, funny chicks. If I could say all those in one sentence properly they were all of the above. Kassia Meador and myself planned a boat trip to Indo with a more diverse group of women than we have ever gone with before. Usually we go on trips based on who’s rated what and who’s killing it at that time and only for purposes of getting good photos and film. This time we didn’t really think about photos or filming as much as a good vibe. We just wanted to go on a chill boat trip with some talented women surfers in and out of the water. So we got together and put a core group of girls together and what we came up with was Lee Ann Curren aka ( charger) and daughter of the infamous Tom Curren. It was scary the similarities between her and her father and she was always charging and playing really good tunes on the boat. And I gave her mad props for cutting her bangs herself the morning of her departure for the boat trip. Sally Fitsgibbons aka (Giblet) official token grom of the trip who surfed better than just about anyone in Indonesia at the time and might I add has just qualified for the Asp WCT womens world tour two weeks after our trip at 17 and half way through the year. I feel honored having been able to go on a trip with her before she is untouchable, haha. Serena Brooke aka ( tassie devil) my bunk mate and hell charger. She did the biggest floater I have ever seen a woman do on this six foot bombie . She showed up to Indo without clothes, only army pants and a puff jacket in hand. So she had an entire megan wardrobe on her hand . it was funny, but for her only funny for a couple of days.
