so the waves in the Maldives are shit then?

[Drailed]

got a few virile years left in me before I consider it Loof.

Keen to put in a campaign at Cloudy again before I hang it up and surf the Maldives

allah willing , of course

Completely different set up.

But yeah, cloudbreaks hard to beat and only a short flight away, still nice to be able to affors both.

At what size have you surfed Cloud Break Drailed? Thinking about going this year before my creaking bones, fraying hip labrum and stiff back get the better of me. But when I go I'm going to have a crack not tick.

3-5ft, restaurants about 3ft.

Mate, you'll be fine. Cloudbreak has a few take off points - further up you go the easier it is to roll into. Gets ledgier around the mid section.

Its a phenomenal wave that will change your life.

Dont get washed onto the reef by the photographers tower like I did though! Ouch!

Ok was think grinding 6ft plus might just be a bridge to far for moi.

[Drailed]

Its not 6ft every day!

tbh, i read it without realising who wrote and assumed it was chas. I did think that it was well written and that chas was lifting his game quite a bit!

it was when I was there.

Far greater chance of getting 6 ft or plus barrels there than in the Maldives, where you've got far more chance of being run over by a yoga mum on a soft top or an Israeli on a Merrick who thinks he's shredding.

[Drailed]

Wow that must mean it is 6ft every day then - averaged 3-6 when I was there with an 8-10ft day in the end.

Yes steve, more chance of getting barreled at cloudbreak, I dont think anyones disputing that.

[Davros]

Went to Indo last year it was 5-8ft everyday. And it turned a manageable break into a ledgy board grinder. Loved it but Cloudbreak would be well.... I guess just go and see.

[Drailed]

Other options for when its too big.

[Davros]

'spose

[Drailed]

All am saying is that if you're thinking about it, I would def go. Its an awesome spot.

[The Mighty Sunbird]

Steve you should stick to what you know. You are sounding ingnorant

[Davros]
