Re: Samoa April

You picked them both Brendo. The pics make coconuts look a lot better than it was, it's a shifty bugger. Stayed on the south coast the whole time, not much exploring unfortunately. Stayed at Sa'moana, they were in the middle of the rebuild after the cyclone so it was just us!

Re: Samoa April

Thanks Brendo, Already returned and got some good waves. Exactly as you say, morning glass but didn't take long for the wind to come up. Still spots to surf when it's up though. Some pretty heavy waves, not used to that being from Vicco. Nice vid! Here's a couple of snaps from the trip. 28168_101513...

Re: Indo Odyssey anyone been?

Righto, thanks OP. I thought as much. Not too concerned about creature comforts especially if there's good waves. I would prefer an adventure than a holiday anyway.

Re: Indo Odyssey anyone been?

Cheers Don! I did have a read through that.. It makes it sound like a good trip in my mind. Not sure what its worth but the perfect wave company are no longer endorsing their trips, I've never booked through them so can't say if it's a good thing or a bad thing but it does raise some questions. Henc...

Indo Odyssey anyone been?

Hi All,

Myself and some mates have been looking at getting on one of the Indo Odyssey trips. Has anyone been or know of anyone who's been? and what was the experience like?

Looks like they run through some great areas, although often long distances traveled.

Thanks.

Re: Vicco - Bairnsdale - August

Sounds like your best bet for a session is the entrance or the bluff. Both easy to find, but neither much good unless everything is going your way. Watch out for the beasties at the entrance.

If you've got more time the further east you go the better it gets.
