The Perfect Wave Director Jamie Gray said, “The first swell hit right on time on day 2 of the first charter (March 3) and 2 Perfect Wave boats had the whole Gaarfu Dhaarl region to themselves. The Hamathi was sitting at \u201cBeacons\u201d with \u00a0pumping 4 – 5 ft waves and The Cobia guests enjoyed glassy 3-4ft \u201cLove Charms\u201d to themselves.”<\/em><\/p>\n

In other great news \u2013 The Perfect Wave \u00a0are very happy to announce a luxury option for 2014, with the Carpe Diem<\/a> doing the month of April in Gaarfu Dhaarl. We only have 2 trips left for this area, so check out the boat and get your crew together now.<\/p>\n

The first group of our clients had just returned from their trip on board Cobia, and the boat with the famous surf guide Martey have cerainly delivered. Mark e-mailed us about the trip: Hi Rhonda. We are back and happy campers.\u00a0 Here is the wrap up\u2026<\/em> Transport connections were perfect\u2026well done,<\/em> Location was spectacular,<\/em> Surf was brilliant,<\/em> Surf guide (Martey) was top notch and good company,<\/em> Food was superb –\u00a0 Asoka gave us great local and Asian cuisine,<\/em> Boat was a bit basic.\u00a0 Rooms quite cramped compared to our last experience on Addiction<\/a>. The roof deck was a winner though as were the ensuites,<\/em> crew were a little inexperienced but got better and more enthusiastic over the trip. Mohammed was a standout.<\/em> Generally had surf to ourselves except the other Perfect Wave boat seemed to follow us around a bit.\u00a0 Got a bit crowded towards end of trip as 3 other boats came down. All up, our best surf trip experience so far.<\/em><\/p>\n
