GOOD NEWS!!! I've just received email confirmation from the Japanese boys themselves and other friends we have in common that they are alive with no injuries. But they are in a relief camp at the moment. So, I can finally have a happy new year because everyone I know that could've been hurt is now confirmed safe. I wish you guys have a happy new year too!

Posted by: joeteoh at January 1, 2005 10:50 AMJust came across this interesting story: Surfer rides tsunami
"British surfer Martin Markwell had always dreamed of catching that perfect wave -- but when it finally came along, it was a nightmare.
Markwell was paddling on his surfboard Sunday off the popular Hikkaduwa beach resort on Sri Lanka's palm-fringed southern coast when he was swept up by a tsunami wave and sent crashing over a white sand beach and into a hotel restaurant.
"It was really terrible because I was surfing, I was really surfing on a wave I wasn't supposed to be on," he told Reuters.
"As an experienced surfer, when I saw the wave come I realized something was wrong, but I couldn't escape because my surfboard was tied to my ankle."
His wife Vicki and son Jake looked on in horror from a hotel balcony as he crashed toward the shore. Miraculously, he stayed atop his board until he reached the hotel, jumped off and waded to safety as the ocean rolled back to feed a much larger tsunami wave on its way."

Posted by: Hunni at January 2, 2005 08:38 AMHey I didnt make it to Cherating this weekend. In Johor Bahru on Saturday it was pelting rain which dod not make the 6 our drive attractive. At the hotel where we collected the rental car my girlfriend asked the bell man if there was any surf in Desaru, god love her! Amazingly the bell man was from Desaru and confirmed yes there is surf there. So we headed to Desaru only 1 hours drive. On arrival it was hell windy and a load of wind slop waves were punding the beach. I thought no joy. Then I spotted a couple of surfers who told me there was a more sheltered spot up the road. I went there and met some Singaporian surfers. It howled wind all weekend but I managed three surfs in three days which is bloody good considering I am only 2 hours from Sinigapore. Apparantly it gets good at Desaru and I am so stoked it is so close to Singapore. I am one happy chap. I'll head to Cheratinig soon though. Cheers, Adam
