Yep, the trip I did last year, I took my sup as well as my short board quiver! Epic trip for both. Would love to go back with a crew to get some good footage. The trip I did was just with mates that all just surfed. I got my share of both.

Nice vid, really enjoyed it and brought back memories of my old PSH 9'3 ripper many years ago.

Loved the wipeout at about 1.32 sec

Cheers

awesome, im keen now! yeah im taking 2 sups, i planned on taking a short board too (ecs bulldog) for fat smaller waves. but Garuda said you can only have max of 2 boards even if theres only one bag?? does anyone know the ways round this?

the waves look fun, i'll be the only paddlesurfer out of whos going but thats always the way.

i'm taking 2 ecs weapons, brushed carbons ones 7'10 x 27 x 3 3/4 and 5.2 kg, the other is the exact same but 4" thick and about 6.2kg.

we have a photographer for the trip so hopefully ill get some good shots and even better wipeouts!

I haven't flown with Garuda, I normally go Singapore Airlines! Last time I took 1 sup and 3 short boards. Put one short board in with the sup and the other boards in a double board cover! All good until the trip home, when they decided to lob the sup of the plane onto its rail.

I would be keeping the sups separate and puting the shorty in with one. Just tell them you have 1 board in each.

They lob the double board SUP cover because the total weight is close to the max which is 23kg . Anyhow, it 's weighting two much for those small guys , this is more practical to let fall off the plane even with small light SUP like under 8'28".
It happens to me twice and now i'm packing seriously my channeled board rails

Any tropical island waves specially these Mentaways worth to travel with risk and damage, anyway

Pete,Fritzle merci pour vos photos et la video

Been on a yacht charter - Mangalui and stayed at wavepark resort.

Both good in their own way, although like the flexibility of the boat trip to get around depending on conditions.

Hope you score like us and the rest of the crew on this post Pohaku!! Went on the same trip as Stimo, and have been on other trips with short boards only, but being able to mix it up, and being with a crew of like minded suppers was the best trip ever!!
Your boards are perfect for up there!! Charge hard and looking forward to seeing your photo's when you get back!
