Subject: thanks for everything

Hey Alisha,

well done mate!!
anne and I just got back home from the Maldives
had the best time over there..everything went perfectly..really relaxing
the resort was beautiful..our room was perfect..so comfortable
the weather..the water..and the surf was unreal!...I had a couple of boat trips each day..got great fun waves and still had hours left for quality time with anne on the beach
she loved the sun-baking and snorkelling and has come back brown as a berry
both Simone and Ryan (the surf guides) were great..they couldn't have been more helpful..we plan to catch up back here in Aus)
the staff at Lohifushi were also really friendly and obliging..they were a pleasure to deal with
the only regret is that I didn't take my sons along.. they would have absolutely loved it ..oh well that'll have to be next time
the place really is a surfers paradise(for an old surfer at any rate).
anyway thanks again for organising the holiday
good job
regards
pete and anne taplin
ps. Singapore Airlines are a pleasure to fly with..u guys have got a good deal going with them..flights and transfers were too easy

Subject: THE BEST HONEYMOON!!!

Hi Wendy,
Just a quick email to let you know that Steve and I had the most wonderful Honeymoon at Lohifushi's Resort Maldives.
Everything was perfect, from the flights, boat trips, accommodation, to the meals and facilities,thanks for organising it.
It is the most beautiful place we have ever been and Steve got some fantastic waves, while I layed on the beach and worked on the tan.
It certainly was not just a resort for surfers.
We met some wonderful people from all over the world and the resort was just fantastic.
There is nothing we would change it was perfect!
Thanks again Wendy to you and World Surfaris, we can't wait to go back!!
Kerryn Scully & Steve Hughes.

Subject: A big thankyou!

Dear Shaun & Alinda,

Just a quick email to say thankyou for organizing a fantastic surfing trip and romanitic holiday away for me and my partner in October to the Maldives, this being my second trip there I was far more impreseed with your overall services than with the previous company I traveled with.

As the owner of a successful Real Esate Company and being only 29 years of age you appreaciate so much more the effort companies such as yours go to make your holiday that extra special, your entire team must be commended, especially going that “extra mile” that is not expected.

Keep up the great work and after getting engaged in the Maldives (on my holiday)I look forward to booking my next trip with you being a Honeymoon/SurfTrip but we wont call it that will we??

Good Luck with your business.

Ryan Currie

Subject: Lohi's

Hi Shaun
Well - that was pretty special - the best - thanks very much for suggesting it, as a surf resort it ranks the best I've been to and as a resort apart from the surf it ranks the best.
Sometimes a bit crowded (10 -15 guys sometimes, 5, 6,7 most of the time, 1 or 2 sometimes ) but just perfect really - my last two days there was no one out and I had 10 -15 good rides and everything came together, I had improved and really did all I thought I could do. Lohi's is such an amazing left - theres something for everyone there - you had to be pretty quick going down the line sometimes but I like that - it was only really in the last week that everything started to work for me fully - it was pretty big and onshore in the first week and I got hammered a bit and my water fitness doesn't seem to come through until a few weeks, but I am so happy now . - plus - when the surf was not good (not often) or I wanted a break from it, I got my open water diving ticket , the sea life is really prolific, much more so than Fiji or Samoa , the guys at the
dive school were excellent and I in fact went on to do my advanced diving
certificate too! A real bonus - I'm still thinking about all the things that happened, and my hammock from the palm tree over the sea ......... next year.........

I am now back at work and will have another leave on 6 th November . Have you got any suggestions ? I met Olly(?) at Lohi's who told me about Asu - probably a bit heavy I think but if I can keep going and improve I would like to go surfing again this leave.

Subject: Honeymoon at Lohifushi

I decided to write this letter as I wanted to share this experience with other surfers.

I am 44 years old, live on the sunshine coast, still ride a short board and enjoy challenging waves.

In August 2002 I got married for the second time. My wife and I were looking for the ideal honeymoon location. We wanted somewhere that was exotic, romantic, relaxing and fun, but also had surf.

We thought about Fiji, Samoa etc, but there all outer reef breaks and require boat trips to ride them. That could be very boring for my new wife, who is not a surfer. We wanted somewhere that would suit both of us. Eventually we decided on Lohifishi in the Maldives.

Wendy from World Surfaris organized our trip. Down to the smallest detail including some helpful hints to make our stay more pleasant.

We left for the Maldives with an overnight stopover in Singapore on September 2nd. Singapore- What a fantastic city! The shopping, the sights, the food & the people! What a great place to start our honeymoon & break up the trip.The next evening we flew to Male where we were greeted by the Lohifushi island staff who whisked us away by speedboat to our island destination Lohifushi.

We awoke the next morning to paradise. Picture, postcard perfect. A truely beautiful island. Coconut palms lining the sandy beaches & crystal clear water.

Lohi's, the left hand break on one end of the island, has the most perfect waves imaginable - 4-6ft offshore, minimal crowd ( 8 max ) &
27degree water temp, & just to top it off, the Surf Bar which overlooks the break. A great spot to take photo's, sip cool drinks & meet some amazing people from all over the world.

For the non-surfer there were plenty of other things to do, like, snorkelling, diving , canoeing, boat trips to other nearby breaks & much more. We even watched an inter-island soccer match.

The whole experience is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We could'nt have picked a more perfect destination for a surfer with a non-surfing partner. We're definitely going back.

Wendy & Shaun at World Surfaris were the best people to deal with. They really listened to what we wanted & nothing was too much trouble. All we had to do was sit back & enjoy the holiday.

So, all you surfers with partners, get on the phone, book your trip & get over there. I promise you won't be disappointed because there's something for both of you.

Once again, thanks Wendy & Shaun at World Surfaris, you gave our marriage a wonderful beginning & it can only get better.

See you in the waves,
Tony & Petra
