Faces of the wave\u2026 but also faces of the shore.<\/p>\n<p>The first part of our stay would be more like a \u201cwait for the big swell\u201d so to take some attention and that little edge of anxiety from us, we spent some time on the dance floor of the local disco &#8211; only a short walk away from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/surf-trips\/remote-pacific\/caroline-islands\/pohnpei-surf-club\"><strong>Pohnpei Surf Club<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; called <em>Flamingo<\/em>. The best excuse was one of the guys&#8217; birthday, so we organized him a cake and it was the perfect start to the night. After dinner, we moved to the club. We were the only two tourist girls in there and seemed to be quite the attraction for the locals, who were patiently taking turns to ask us out for a dance and kindly thanking us after each song. They were filled with so much hospitality that we even got brought a tray with noodle soup onto the dance floor by 1am, just in case we were hungry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-13000 lazyload\" alt=\"SWIL3389\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/SWIL3389.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/427;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-13000\" alt=\"SWIL3389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/SWIL3389.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>The music was a mix of tracks that we had never heard before, the gender was unknown, and the gap between each track was half a minute of silence. We had so much fun, getting so lost in this legendary moment, letting go, detached from any material world\u2026 so detached, that at some point, Sylvi looked in her shorts pocket and realized she had lost her phone\u2026 the club was getting busy by now and we were looking yet it was nowhere in sight. I went up to the DJs and kindly asked them if someone had left it there. They took it so to heart that they decided to turn on the lights, stop the music and make a full on announcement through the microphone\u2026 <em>has anybody seen Sylvi\u2019s phone?<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-12992 lazyload\" alt=\"groupshot\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/groupshot.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/427;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-12992\" alt=\"groupshot\" src=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/groupshot.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>The next morning it was\u00a0raining and Sylvi was sad\u2026 not just her I phone, just all the memories and funny pictures from all our travels on it. Sensing her mood, I suggested to just go for a walk in the fresh air, and hey you never know, life is crazy sometimes, maybe it will just pop up? So off we went, making circles around the <em>Flamingo<\/em>. Some cars were stopping and wanting to help. But the iPhone was gone\u2026 Sylvi started to consider giving up on it. But then I had another idea: why don\u2019t we just draw a cool \u201cWanted\u201d paper, and hang it around the town?\u201d The more energy you put into something, the more it will help you with it, I\u2019m sure! So we got to the supermarket, got some pen and paper, made some photocopies, and Benito &#8211; a local priest and our boat driver &#8211; took us through town with his little car stopping by every little spot. We also had another helper, a legendary Aussie charger, Sean, who was just hoping to get a quick ride to the ATM . The poor guy didn\u2019t know what he got himself into by getting in a car with a priest and <a href=\"http:\/\/specials.theperfectwave.com.au\/surfing-mermaids\/\"><em><strong>the Surf Bunnies<\/strong><\/em><\/a> on a mission, as he\u00a0ended up with no cash, but running in and out of the car, drenched in rain, hanging <em>WANTED<\/em> papers all over the place as if our life was depending on it.<\/p>\n<p>And I have to say, this didn\u2019t get us back the phone, but this was one of the funniest experiences ever and it made our story famous on the whole island. From then on every day we got asked by all kinds of people, if the surf bunnies have back their phone yet? When we really saw there was no chance, we had to face the truth: actually this phone is very lucky, as it gets to stay on the beautiful island of Pohnpei, and basically we are just jealous, as we wish we could stay forever too. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Our hangover slipped away smoothly, the rain cleared up, and the first lines of the swell started rolling in. This was our last day. Swilly, our photographer, was already getting super pumped on the boat ride over: \u201cthis is the day girls!\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The swell really was here. Some good 4-6 Ft. sets, and the way the waves were breaking was very different then on the smaller waves. I paddled out with a few of the guys, my heart was beating, I felt alive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-13002 lazyload\" alt=\"SWIL4394\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/SWIL4394.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/427;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-13002\" alt=\"SWIL4394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/SWIL4394.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>At first I was very careful and a little skeptical. The tide was still low and there was a little morning sickness as there had been some wind with the weather.<\/p>\n<p>A little later I saw Sylvi&#8217;s bright bathing suit making her way to the line up. And I felt more confident. We can teamwork this!<\/p>\n<p>I took off on my first bigger wave, I didn\u2019t breath, I didn\u2019t think, just followed my instincts\u2026 and made it. The ice was broken &#8211; I want more!<\/p>\n<p>What I didn\u2019t expect, is that only half an hour later, all the boys decided to go back to the boat and have breakfast. So Sylvi &amp; me were sitting all by ourselves in the line-up. On the biggest day. Right out back\u2026 the set would come in and we would know this is it, it\u2019s yours, no excuses, no hesitation, no pulling back. Free falling, letting go. And most of the time making the waves. I would paddle out after a wave and see Sylvi going for a bomb. This fearless Hungarian celebrity, on the gnarliest spot of the wave. Giving 100%.\u00a0 Grabbing her rail. Wow\u2026 the next wave would be mine again. And so we were taking turns and our smile would grow after every single wave, the boys hooting from the boat and getting amped to come back out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-13005 lazyload\" alt=\"SWIL4550\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/SWIL4550.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/427;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-13005\" alt=\"SWIL4550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/SWIL4550.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>This was one of the most memorable sessions I had in my life so far.<\/p>\n<p>Waves of freedom. Tears of joy. Pure love.<\/p>\n<p>The same night, I was booked in for a tattoo to inc these memories into my skin forever.<\/p>\n<p>But Swilly was right, there will be waves again the next morning right before our plane leaves. A surfer shouldn\u2019t be out of the water. So last second I postponed my tattoo to next year\u2026 same time, same place.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, the waves were very fun the next morning. So we surfed until the last second. After my last wave I looked back one last time at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/surf-trips\/remote-pacific\/caroline-islands\/pohnpei-surf-club\"><strong>P-Pass<\/strong><\/a>. I couldn\u2019t look at her too long. I hate goodbyes. Constantly travelling you live so much, see so much, meet so many waves and people. A lot of the times after the trips, when you are already back home, you want to keep living that same dream. You stay in touch, watch your pictures, cook the same food. But if you take the dish away from its place, it\u2019s just not going to taste the same. The thing travelling its teaching me, is the ability of LETTING GO. Make the most out of everything you live. Give it a 100%. Then move. Don\u2019t look back, just make plans. Live in the NOW. And next year, same time same place, I hope my NOW will be Pohnpei. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-13007 lazyload\" alt=\"SWIL4613\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/SWIL4613.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/427;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-13007\" alt=\"SWIL4613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/SWIL4613.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>But of course, the Surf Bunnies wouldn\u2019t be the Surf Bunnies, if we didn\u2019t have a legendary exit of this trip.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, we were checking in our luggage. A little scared, as surfers always are when it comes to the moment of truth about how much you will get charged for your giant board bag\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The local guy on his computer smiled to us though: \u201cYou girls like to party hah? I saw you at the Flamingo! Good dancing!\u201d he started laughing and somehow money didn\u2019t seem to matter anymore.<\/p>\n<p>We were stoked. However, a little later the stoke wore off again and with sad faces and low spirits we were sitting at the departure gate, waiting for our plane. But then a local security guard carrying a bag with betel nuts caught our attention. We had always seen all these locals that had red teeth and were chewing on some stuff and spitting it out, what was behind this? We had heaps of time so, driving by our curiosity, wanderlust and the love to explore different cultures and habits, we went over to him. 5 minutes later, Sylvi and me were sitting outside, next to the departure gate, with 2 security guards teaching us how to take the betel nut. It took only a few minutes and we were already looking pretty professional. It gave us a little high, but most of all just made us laugh\u2026 what a timeless, hilarious moment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-12997 lazyload\" alt=\"IMG_3959\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_3959.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/480;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-12997\" alt=\"IMG_3959\" src=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_3959.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>When our plane arrived, some foreigners stepped out amongst all the locals. They were wearing perfectly ironed white shirts, touristy straw hats and their skin looked very bright. The heat of the midday sun hit them and you could see the relief in their expression. One of them looked over to us through the fence, where we were sitting outside next to our departure gate. He saw two suntanned girls,\u00a0wearing crystals and feathers,\u00a0surfed out, partied out, cracking up with the locals and living life to its fullest. And through that fence, we exchanged a look. And we both had to smile. It was a smile of wisdom, of realization, a smile of truth. We both will have to let go. Let go of what you know, of the boundaries you built, of fears, of stress, of old habits. Let go, in order to let in new light, step into the next adventure, in order to grow and expand.<\/p>\n<p>You will have to let go, no matter on which side of the fence you are.<\/p>\n<p>Let go, and if you love it, you will be back sooner than you think.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-12999 lazyload\" alt=\"SWIL3271\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/SWIL3271.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px;
