...braving the waves...

Perth, Australia

Batang Lupar, Sarawak

 

 

the phenomenon - tidal bore / benak

It really takes great and tremendous courage and boldness to actually brave the roaring waves. These two are the few awesome ones! Well, no play play...Time and tide wait for no man. For these men, time does not matter. They go friendly and steadily well with the tides and having huge fun time with the waves! 

Malaysia Boleh...can we? The Australian or the Sarawakian? The clock is ticking...so do not procrastinate if you need to do something worthwhile. Let's go surfing, if not these waters... then we surf the net !!! ;-)

Gotcha...

Benak merupakan fenomena ombak sungai di mana air pasang dari laut “pecah” apabila bertembung dengan pulau dan membentuk ombak yang menghala ke arah sungai. Fenomena benak di Batang Lupar telah dikomersialkan menerusi Pesta Benak setiap tahun di Sri Aman, Sarawak. 

p/s... Sarawak - Bumi Kenyalang - Land of the Hornbills - great many things to see and explore in this part of the world - East Malaysia - the 28 various ethnics and the vast cultural of the people add flavour to the trip worth making! Did enjoyed myself  there trying performing the ngajat dance at Sarawak Cultural Village...;-) 

Love the beadworks of the costumes.The beads come in different sizes and shapes made from various materials...woods...shells...stones...glass among others.
