Hmmm, paying for an exclusivity of 50!?!

I've done an equivalent in Bali, but i don't know...
And a couple of stills doesn't show a waves potential too well.
And if that's the wave in the videos, you really ought to push yourself a little more. I guess.

Flights via Tiger Air are reasonable too. There must be a surfboard charge.

Pasta point is better, you can surf sultans,honkys,jails too. Max 30 surfers at pasta, used to be 25 but when it's on even with thirty there's windows. Kandooma I've been told does get epic, there's a couple more quiet waves up that end too. Whereas all the boats start and stop at sultans, jails and honkys.

Pulled into those breaks on the last 2 days of a 2wk boat trip way further south with Liquid Destinations. Surf charter after surf charter spewing out surfers onto these breaks. Exclusivity of 50? Don't think I've ever had that many at my favorite break. Maybe I have. Taking the missus who doesn't surf? Well you have to look after her as well so surfing with the crowd you may have to put up with that. In my two weeks in the Southern Atolls I saw two other boats. Wouldn't do it any other way.

Yeah thats not enticing at all.

Paying thousands of dollars, travelling half way round the world only to be greeted by lineups that are just as packed as your local.

That's why i always prefer boat trips to land camps, if conditions change, or the crowd/kook/greed factor gets too high, you just pull anchor and bugger off to the next spot.
