Best boat, best place!

How's the Captain going with learning how to sup, and has he looked after my Ke Nalu paddle I left with him??

Can I ask what you took in the way of gear??
How many boards, leggies etc....

I see the ones advertised for around $2500 for 10 nights including airfares....wonder if they are in the same ball park?

We all took way to much gear 2 sups each 3to4 paddles each fins some of us took a surfboard as well it was a mission transporting gear and dragging it to the check ins This boat is full on 5 star travel the meals will blow your mind way too much food never went Hungry and beer could not get through it all this boat you are looking at about $4500 US dollars onwards plus flights and stop over accomodation In K L on way up and back
Would fork it out again tomorrow waves of a life time

The surfboard rack converted well into a SUP rack. Think the longest board that travelled with us was 9'6 x 27 starboard all the rest were around 8'5 and Rogers 8'0. I surfed my starby 8'5pro the whole trip.

Looked like an Epic trip , did well to score great uncrowded waves. How about some more pics very jealous.... The boat looks sick what were the main breaks you were surfing.

Hi Piros. Yeah most of the crew from the boat are coming over, looking forward to having a couple of beers, might not leave it till the last night like last year though that was a long drive back to Sydney.
