Who would you rather be in a pandemic? Dr Smith, Gilligan or Perfect Wave’s Kandooma Surf Centre Manager Steve – marooned at Kandooma?

Ben Horvath poses the question, whilst Kandooma Surf Centre Manager – Steve Lanfranco provides the unique Kandooma in ISO photos and clips.

 

Would you rather be Dr Smith, The Robot or Penny on another planet right now?

 

Whilst western civilization is busy being turned on its head by a pandemic, race riots and economic capitulation, i think now more than any time before is the time to ponder the plight of some infamous castaways.

“Oh the pain” as Dr Smith would say…….

 

Would you rather be Gilligan, The Professor, Thurston Howell, Ginger or The Skipper?

 

It’s time we all pondered the question…. Would you rather be Will Robinson or Dr Smith in “Lost In Space” landing on an almost uninhabitable planet devoid of food, water and waves, or would you prefer to be Gilligan, The Professor or Ginger stranded on a Pacific Isle (with no historical evidence of waves) or would you rather be Perfect Wave’s Kandooma Surf Centre Manager’s Steve and Courtney, stranded at Kandooma during Covid 19 Lockdown?

Hmmm,

No Brainer right?

 

Or would you rather be Captain Steve LanFranco, Kandooma Surf Centre Guide slotted at Kandooma?

 

Steve can’t wipe the cheeky smile of his dial.

 

But surely Steve and Courtney can’t just sit by and suck on Coconut juice and plan their next empty surf or yoga sesh at Kandooma while western civilization fails can they?

Yes they can!

I feel so sorry for Steve Lanfranco and his lovely partner Courtney. Oh to be stranded so far from home…..in the Maldives…. at Kandooma Resort of all places.

 

Or would you prefer to have Kandooma all to yourself like Steve did on May 24?

 

I mean, how can they be expected to keep up with all the grisly Covid 19 death tally numbers or watch the decline of western civilization nightly on TV as the citizens of the USA descend into civil war. I mean you gotta keep up with these pandemics right , you can’t just sit by and suck on Coconut juices, have the gym or restaurant to yourself, and plan your next empty surf or yoga sesh in the tropics can you?

Can you?

Well, um Steve Lanfranco can, and he has no sympathy for you…..

Just kidding.

 

Another coconut juice just before heading out on another solos surf at Kandooma Right in May.

 

Having the Kandooma gym to yourself is cool for a while, but now we can’t wait to welcome back Perfect Wave guests back.

Steve and Courtney love Kandooma, and absolutely froth on socializing and instructing Perfect Wave guests, they can’t wait to have you back, surfing Kandooma Right and taking yoga classes with them, which is exactly why they are sharing their unique ISO photos with all our frothing regular Kandooma clients and new guests too – they want to increase the natural FOMO.

 

It’s tough out here in ISO paradise, but we now want to welcome everyone back.

 

Steve said, “We had a good 12 second interval SE ground swell, probably the biggest of the year so far on Saturday May 23, peaking into Sunday afternoon and Monday morning when the sets were a good 4-5 foot with a few bigger ones rolling through from time to time. ”

“The wind was WSW which was perfect offshore, holding the waves up enough to make some of the faster more hollow sections. The swell was hitting on just the right angle so both sections of the reef were firing with the odd one linking up all the way through. ”

 

One more empty ISO image to kick the FOMO into overdrive.

 

Stay in touch with us across our socials, because as soon as travel restrictions are lifted we will get you back in the line up at Kandooma and everywhere else possible (hopefully this late season, and if not certainly early next year.)
