Roy Van Eijk’s surfing Australia
Bufo team rider Roy van Eijk just returned from his latest trip to Australia. He spent an entire months on the Gold Coast accompanied by his Bufo Boogiefish 5′5, MK 6′0 and his third companion, Paul Sargeant, one of the best surf photographers in the business. Together they checked out everything between Burleigh-Heads and Byron Bay…

“My favorite spot was Boiler’s! One day the barrels reached almost ten australian feet high! There were several tow-in surfers but only a few who paddled into the big waves, myself being one of them later on. That session was unbelievable, the biggest barrels I’ve ever surfed!”
The most drastic encounter Roy had was with a shark. “Tallose is known to have lots of sharks. As I was sitting on my floating board I saw a 9 foot shark just 15 feet away…pretty much scared me shitless!” Checking out the Quick Pro 2009 at Snapper, he had a chance to meet Kelly Slater:”It is really unbelievable what Slater does on only a single wave.”
Roy is a believer ever since. “Australia is a great place to hone your skills, meeting lots of great surfers to learn from and ride waves one can only dream of.”
Favourite-Spots: The Boiler (Australia), Bingin and Shipwrecks (Bali), La Piste (France), Praia do Casteligo (Portugal), Ter Heijde, Hoek of Holland, V-beach (Netherland).
Quote about Bufo: “I love Bufo’s shapes. Most notably the Bufo Boogie-Fish.”
