Haha rather cryptic quote.. But i will say i have heard about a local dive charter talking about doing surf trips to a Northern reef

Sadly i think the crowds will be rather unhappy and i can't actually see it getting of the ground..But still


Edit: Is the Twin Otter that boat that was developed down south with rad shock built in..

Edit Edit: Oops sorry its actually not that cryptic, A plane

Didn't think you could buy a twin otter without floats. I still thing a goose or other floating boat us a better option.

i waited for the perfect swell and wind and flew a plane over the coast of southland new Zealand. the amount of perfect waves with no ****er on them was just sick !!!

No expert, but used to be a pilot.

I am pretty sure that:
1) The number of days that you could actually land a Twin Otter in the ocean around Perth Waters would mean that that aircraft is under utilised
2) Not many guys would pay the cost per surf required to make it viable

A boat would have a far better chance as at least it can be used in all conditions that you would surf in.
