Hey Doggie, so jealous!
I'm looking at a land camp as well and got a few questions...

How was the Wavepark camp?
Did you get a chance to checkout the Kandui Camp?
Which in your opinion is in a better location?

Did you surf A Frames, Karangbat or 4 Bobs?
How was Beng Bengs?

Sorry to bug you, just trying to work out which place would be better for me.
I don't think I will be paddling into many at Rifles, Kandui or Bankvaults until maybe the last couple days of the trip.

Cheers
Brendan




Na thats cool, we surfed Burger world on the last day as the swell had droped rite off and that was awesome. Its amazing how when its flat places like tikis and beng bengs were over head or at least surfable. I would recomend the guys at wavepark as the best as far as the accom, even tho no air con we were comfortable every night and the rooms were awsome. Hit the website www.wavepark.com for details. Had a look at Kandui and Pitstops they are also good and a mate has stayed at pitstops as well said it was awesome as well. I think it depends on how much you want to spend and none of them are realy cheap.
Hope that helps Pm me if ya want more info ect.

Thanks Doggie, yeah Pitstops was my first choice but they are pretty much booked out for next year.
Wavepark and Kandui resorts are pretty similar in price but I think I'm leaning towards Wavepark.
Mainly cos Hideaways looks so good and you don't need a boat. From Kandui resort you need a
boat for everything. Also diving looks better at Wavepark.

Thanks again.

Cheers
Bren

Burgerworld was pretty good and Beng bengs had a nice easy take off with a nice steep section, I wish we had of got better Pitstops it was a bit big when we were there and was closing out in the middle of the wave still fun but need a bit less swell. Hideaways on my backhand was fun but difficult a bit of a challange.
