Paradise is just down the road - and always has been. Ou's raid their piggy banks to get over to Indo, when you could just load up your tent and cabbie and get epic waves 300km east of PE. OK, so there is a lil bit more of a danger factor....sharks (on both land and sea) for one. But what's a trip without a lil adventure? The Kei is a wave garden of note. PE locals like Jonty Hansford, Peter May, Richard Roth, Phil Weddall, Justin Erasmus and Andrew Honey used to make the pilgrimage regularly back in the day, and scored insane waves to themselves. Check out Jonty's shots here. All images Jonty Hansford. Just hover over the image to get control for slideshow - pause & play at your own speed.

What a trip down memory lane...back then the okes had coconut sized cajones. Surfing a spot like sharks point - after spliffing with mushroom mike and listening to his stories of wrestling fish from shark mouths - was nuts but fun. when it coooks it coooooks. Awesome photos. RIP Alex and every other surfer that got chomped Kei side
