Four missing Australians in Indonesia were part of a group of 12 friends on a 30th birthday surfing trip with one sharing photos just hours before disappearing.
Steph Weisse, Jordan Short, Elliot Foote and Will Teagle went missing on Sunday while travelling across rough seas to the remote Banyak Islands, in Indonesia, in a wooden longboat.
Their boat, carrying the four Aussies as well as a three-man Indonesian crew, had launched from Nias Island alongside another boat carrying their eight friends.
They were headed to the small island of Pinang in the Banyaks, a 50km voyage that usually takes three hours, but ran into a storm.
One boat decided to wait out the weather on Sarang Alu, an island halfway from their destination, but the missing boat decided to go ahead.

Elliot Foote's father, Peter, said the group were planning to spend 10 days on Pinang surfing to celebrate his son's upcoming 30th birthday.
The group are all friends of Mr Foote from exclusive all-boys private school Scots College, Bronte where he lived in Sydney's east, and Mullumbimby near Byron Bay where he recently moved with his girlfriend, Ms Weisse.
Ms Weisse is from Mullumbimby and works in a gardening nursery while Mr Teagle is a landscaper from Bronte.
Mr Foote, a carpenter, shared a series of photos from the ill-fated holiday just hours before he boarded the missing boat.

'Soho gulah Sorake… so good being back in Indo after so many years. Sharing waves with mates and akses bokep terbaru the Queen,' Mr Foote wrote - 'Queen' is his nickname for Ms Weisse.
'Starting the trip off with hiking in the North Sumatran jungle and seeing orangutans was an amazing experience and something that I look forward to doing again for a longer time and going deeper.
'Bukit Lawang is a beautiful spot with such kind people.'
Peter Foote is holding onto hope Mr Foote and his friends will be found soon.

'They have life jackets on board, they had food and water and there is shelter on the boat. It has a roof,' he told the Sydney Morning Herald.
'Apparently the waves weren't that problematic. It was just the visibility in the storm.
'We're all hoping they've either run out of fuel or they got lost and missed the island or more likely there may be an engine failure on the boat, which unfortunately doesn't have any GPS.'
Local authorities said the missing boat departed Nias Island at about 3pm on Sunday and was last seen at about 6pm.
The boat carrying the remaining eight Australians arrived on Pinang Island at 10.18pm.
Poor conditions have so far hindered the search and rescue mission for the Aussies and Indonesians, which include the boat owner and two mechanics.
Parties organised by the Pinang resort and Indonesian National Search and Rescue agency launched at about 6am on Monday.
Nias Island chief Octavianto said more than 20 police, military and volunteers are searching the sea.

'Our team has arrived at Sarang Alu Island today to search the area. It is the last spot before both boats separated,' he told reporters on Monday.
'The waves are three to four metres high. It is raining heavily and it's dark. We can only use smaller boats with good aerodynamics due to the weather. We are searching within 40 nautical miles of Sarang Alu Island.
'However, the issue is that the (missing vessel) is a basic wooden boat without any tracking devices or the like.
'They really went there on their own.'
Octavianto added the tourists did not report their trip to the local port authority.
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade chartered a private plane to join the search on Monday night.
Authorities said the eight friends who arrived on Pinang Island are 'beside themselves'.
The families of the four missing Aussies shared a statement through DFAT on Monday night.
'Our hearts are aching at the thought that Elliot, Steph, Will and Jordan are missing at sea,' they said.
'We continue to pray and hold out hope they will be found.
'We'd like to thank the Indonesian authorities and the Australian government for their ongoing assistance while search and rescue efforts continue.'
