October is meant to be just fun smallish waves. Although I'm sure there will be some swell magnet spots thrown in. There always is...
I was originally thinking about a mid-length and a semi-gun. But quickly thought that a Longboard and a Step-Up would be better.
Bob has confirmed he is taking a 9'0 EvoII Epoxy Custom (semi-experimental), and a 9'1 Original Tufflite. Actually I need to confirm with him that I can get some rides on his gear. I'm sure I can.
Vice versa, he will have options on my 9'1 EvoII and his old Yellow Dream Machine Rincon '68, 7'10 Step-Up.
I did a trial fitting on the 9'1 and 7'10 into my 9'6 Travel Bag. Like a glove baby! 
Really good fit. Very happy. Don't have to invest in more equipment.
Getting excited! 125 foot cruiser. 
Bob told me I'm the 'young punk' on the tour!
You should have a ball Simondo - hope you get some decent swell. My mates who go every year love Honkies. They rave about it when its 4 to 6 ft. From what I hear the waves are not too slabbie - more nice long walls - the longboards will eat it up. I would be taking a nice 6'10 pintail just in case
Yeah, my 6'10 Round Pin had become my 7'10 Squashed Round Pin. Squash Tail, but a very close sibling to Rounded Pin.
A couple of shots from a mates trip to Pasta Point - not sure you can sure there with your boat....but they do have one of the best locations for a beer garden I have ever seen!!
. Better wave at pasta though....
Well boys, we fly out on Thursday morning, and route through Singapore. Back on Monday Week during the day.
They have mentioned that there is Internet/WiFi on the boat, but I'm not holding my breath. Even if it is available, it might only be at the bigger ports, unless this mega-boat is just direct to satellite!? Who knows...
So maybe there will be some photo updates along the way. Otherwise if I'm totally MIA, just assume no internet and I'm surfing my nuts off!
I'm mostly packed. Including new stocks of wax and sunscreen!
I better come with you in case conditions change and you don't know which board to use.
And to think I could have gone
Simondo you'll be fine with the EVO 2 and I'm sure Bob will share his boards.
Photos the boat has state of the art internet connection.Have a blast mate
you lucky bugger
Yes LL that would be gold!!!!!!
Have a great trip Simondo and make sure you take heaps of pics! I hope you enjoy the fine clean living experience......it would be good if you got some big rights so Bob can see what board he will make you next for those waves of yr on yr back door step.
Enjoy.
I know it's bad but I am so envious of you Simondo, hope you get plenty of good waves and no doubt the conversations will be exceptional from the legend.
Enjoy, Spiro

good luck Simo - have a ball mate ..... oh and say hello to the Patron Saint of Robina for us all
Have a great trip Simondo
Remember us and post some pictures of everything that moves.
Just landed in Singapore Sling Land. Ultra smooth flight. Best ever. 3 movies, 4 beers and a bourbon. 3 seats all to myslef. Felt like first class!
Just checking in on you blokes!
Jumping over to T2 in a moment, and should catch the guys at the gate in due course.
Hopefully you guys get some nice waves in you parts too.
It's been pumping lately down around Torquay. I've given that Pin Tail a thorough testing. It's still in 100/100 condition too. I bet there wouldn't even be a heel print through the Volane Glass! I rate that board very highly!
I was telling Mac that the surf has been so good lately, that I don't even need a surf trip away!
Stop showing off Simondo Hope u have a great trip and make the most of those beers before you hit the dry boat ! What boards did u end up taking?
Send my regards to uncle Bob,have fun and load some pictures, travelling sucks my daughter is on route to London left home last night at 10 for a 2 am flight had the three Italian girls on her first leg and the eldest was going off the whole way,oh the daughter has one more flight to catch should land midnight bugger that.
Travelling sucks
You boys would love it over here!
Another very successful day. We have headed South a bit already. Waves for all skill levels.
Time for cold beer now!
Here's one story out of 100 stories. Bob goes to Seabreeze everyday for swell and wind forecasts, but he was unaware of a Longboard Forum.
Honest to god!!
