if you want to you can spend weeks on G_Earth and find dozens of 'em, it will drive you slowly insane, it's the surfing equivalent of thinking Bad Thoughts and hearing Voices.

There is nothing you can do about Shane, I already shared one with him and he is buying a boat deliberately to pursue it.
So I take it you don't wanna come on that trip NC :D How about YOU buy the boat and I come :D :D :D :D
PS. Whole boat deal fell in a heap mate boats still scare me as an owner!

It's a wierd feeling.

No infrastructure there..not mentioned in any global surf guides.

Compared it to other perfect surf spots: yep it's the real deal.

Now what.
Simple mate pack up ya shit and go. When you get there you will need income, easiest way is to bring in small guided groups of other surfers to fund your house on the point and the speedboat you will need as well as the cost of an internet connection, visa's, insurance etc. Or just go there and keep it to your self till someone else does it. Watch NC he'll get those Pin marks in the blinking of an eye :D :D
Go check out the NW corner of an island called Manus in PNG that's my next resort destination … Epic place.

Wish we could do it that fast Sheeba takes about 17 weeks from start to finish then another 15 months to get the bugs ironed out … always looking for good managers (that can read a forecast) :D :D

That would be worth a visit...Shearer managing a resort that was owned by Peel.

good god almighty.

hey Shane, spot x doesn't need a boat. Might be better without one. It just needs a Nth Pac El Nino ... like the one that's about to occur.

Yeah could be like the surfing version of Faulty Towers :D :D :D :D :D :D
I'm ready for spot X when do you wanna go? Have you looked (of course you have) at spot Z right near there (NW) :twisted:
PS. Imagine what the back of that other island we talked about has been like in all these big souths … ahhhhh!

So Nick, in your experience, does the North Pacific fire in an El Nino?

I'm just curious as I'm starting to plan my 2010 OS surfari and I've got my eye on a few gems that require the North Pacific to come alive.
