“I’ve never seen a hearse with a luggage rack
One thing baby I know is true
You make it but you can’t take it with you. “

– Damien Lovelock

 

 

The average non surfer usually doesn’t have much of a clue about the lure of the surfing lifestyle- the pure stoke surfers feel whilst riding every single wave.

As the catch cry goes,

“Only A Surfer Knows The Feeling.”

 

 

Snowboarders, skateboarders, or even wakeboarders, can relate, but what they ride (mountains, concrete or wake) doesn’t move like a wave – many of which travel thousands of miles before being ridden to the beach by us surfers.

Sure the other crossover athletes make some rad moves, but their routine can and does become inevitably repetitive.

The best thing about the most simplistic artform of surfing is that our medium or canvas – the waves, no two are ever the same. Surfing is just you and your surfboard riding waves in the ocean – with all of its constantly changing moods.

That’s why surfing remains so interesting and individualistic in a nutshell pretty much.

 

 

It’s also why we travel!

When you’re a grom your stoked to explore what’s around the next headland from your local beach in a Summer Nor’ Easter.

You seek the next challenge or a different type of wave.

As you get older and more proficient at the art of wave riding you inevitably feel the urge to go and test yourself up or down the coast, and eventually you need to challenge yourself on a charter boat in the Mentawai or The Maldives to surf the endless array of reefbreaks to suit all styles and levels.

 

 

Mates/Dates/Rates Kaboom!

When it comes to organizing a surf charter escape, there’s absolutely nothing that compares to rounding up a group of mates, booking a boat to the Ments or Maldives and spending maximum time in the water.

I mean could anyone actually engineer better waves than Macaronis, HT’s, Rifles, Sultans, Cokes, Desert Point, Treasure Island and co if they tried?

 

 

Probs not!

There’s dozens and dozens of different waves to suit absolutely every level of surfer, whether you are a “Proper” fearless Indo tube charging demon, or a cruisy, single fin carving hipster, lady longboarder, or even semi beginner, there’s angled reef passes and waves for all – no sh!t!
