Saturday Night Live alum Colin Jost announced he will be the voice of Olympic surfing, sending surfing fans into giddy fits of laughter

And surfs the world’s most controlled and expensive left-handed surfer!

The last time 1980s supermodel Cindy Crawford appeared on these pages was as a surfing apprentice to Tahitian heartthrob and Surf Ranch king Raimana Van Bastolaerwhich she then described as “human Viagra.”

“He is the Big Blue Pill,” wrote Cindy Crawford. ‘He can get anyone up! Even I!”

An icon of the fashion world, Cindy Crawford became one of the most recognizable faces in fashion, known for her signature beauty mark above her lip. Her career peaked in 1987 when she appeared on British Vogue alongside fellow OG supermods Christy Turlington, Linda Evagalista and Naomi Campbell.

As if to cement the surfing bona fides first established under Raimana’s mighty hands in Lemoore, Cindy Crawford has appeared in a photo shoot at the glamorous resort that fronts and owns the rights to Indonesia’s Occy’s Left island of Sumba.

And not only is she enjoying the fiercely guarded links, Cindy Crawford even had surfing photo legend Jason Childs take a few photos while posing in front of a pack of Sumba’s famous wild horses.

Remember when Nihi, formerly Nihiwatu, was voted the best hotel in the world?

You can rent a five-bedroom estate for $12,000 a night, while a “starter villa” costs $1,500 a night.

If you actually want to surf left front, you’ll need to deduct about $150 per surf, including local taxes and tourist taxes, with a maximum of “one surf slot per villa” and a total complement in the lineup of twelve surfers.

Claude and Petra Graves founded Nihiwatu in 2000 before selling it to American entrepreneur Chris Burch and South African hotelier James McBride in 2012.

After renovations last spring, Nihiwatu was visited by Peter Jon Lindberg of Travel + Leisure magazine, who wrote:

“I spent my week in Sumba in a state of suspended bliss, circling between endless pools, natural mud pools, waterfall-fed swimming holes, glowing valleys full of rice fields, misty mountain villages straight out of Tolkien, and a beach that looked like it was on the side would be sprayed from a van.
“That beach is spectacular, with or without the left break, and you can easily see why the Graveses pitched their tent here. In the 27 years since, it can’t have changed much: every morning I walked a mile to the end, and every morning the only footprints were mine.

“The redesign of Nihiwatu, by Balinese company Habitat 5, strikes a winning balance between refined and raw. Guest villas reference traditional Sumbanese houses, with steep thatched roofs and massive kasambi tree trunks as support columns. Sumbanese ikat carpets and black and white photos of local villagers hang on ocher stone walls. Wide-angle windows overlook lush gardens and the sea beyond.

“Local accents are evident throughout: bathroom sinks are carved from slabs of rough-cut stone; wardrobes are made of coconut wood. The space is of course where you want it, sleek where you need it, such as the seamless sliding of sliding glass doors; the light switches glowing in the unknown darkness; or the straw fan that turns inwards, and not outwards, your monumental four-poster bed. Most striking of the new villas: the Kanatar Sumba Houses, where an outdoor shower magically cantilevers onto the second floor. All the other outdoor showers went home and cried.

“Ninety-eight percent of the staff comes from Sumba. Like most guests, I was assigned a butler, a jovial Sumbanese man named Simson, who arrived every morning at 7 a.m. with breakfast: papaya, rambutan, watermelon juice, homemade yogurt, Sumba coffee. (The food here is great and highlights the bright, fresh flavors you crave in the tropics.) One morning Samson was limping because a scorpion had bitten him on the toe at home. “I didn’t check before I put on my sandals!” he said, as if it were his fault and not the scorpion’s. He quickly added that they are rarely encountered in Nihiwatu.

‘Of course there is an inevitable dissonance between Sumba’s deprivation and Nihiwatu’s privilege, between a subsistence economy and a butler-staffed resort. Perhaps that is why so many guests are forced to support the foundation and, not least, to visit Sumbanese villages. When you do, you realize how unique – and symbiotic – the relationship is between Nihiwatu and the island it calls home.”

Did you, like me, laugh a little at the butler reference? ‘…a jovial Sumbanese man named Samson… one morning Samson was limping because a scorpion had bitten him on the toe at home.’

Oh, poor Samson, that damned native, paid to be jovial even when he’s seized with poison!

Six years ago, quasi-Kardashian Brody Jenner rented out the entire tent for a now-defunct traditional heterosexual wedding to Kaitlynn Carter.
