Desperate and Not Alone!!

Hi Guys,

            We’re really bashing our heads against the wall!!! Just ask any surfer on the Queensland Coast at the moment what’s wrong with life and get ready for an explosive ‘THERE’S NO SURF!!!!!’

The drought has affected us all differently. Those with the smarts have predicted an August – September or even October slump and headed over to the Indian Ocean for some Maldives or Indo action.

Justin, one of our consultants,  has just come back from the Maldives he’s return coupled with amazing tales of 6ft perfect swell has received mixed responses. We were stoked for him initially but as the poor conditions continue we are left with what can only be described as seething jealousy.

Others have headed to the southern states and cashed in on the epic conditions produced by the Southern Hemispheres winter. The lucky buggers enjoying the south marching swells have been lapping it up but have also, in all fairness, probably been freezing their Jacobs off.

Personally, I have taken to losing random minutes throughout the day mind surfing the perfect waves found on our hard drives and then sighing loudly (in-between colossal bouts of producing mind blowing amounts of work, of course!).

Additionally, Surfing magazines have taken on the lustre tones of more adult magazines, disgorging a mind teasing menu that leaves surfers frustrated and ultimately unsatisfied. We are reaching a point of complete thirst our once surf fit bodies and ocean cleansed, stress free, minds are now unsated and unfulfilled. Tensed and poised we are ready to pounce and feed upon even the slightest hint of swell – We have become desperate men and women suffering through desperate times!!!

Luckily a surf trip is around the corner its presence has become a beacon of hope, a white hot holy grail of light at the end of the tunnel. We in the office are running towards it with smiles and open arms.

It’s like being bathed in an ethereal light. Like Christmas to a 4 year old complete with a fat guy in a red suit. We have hope and certainty that as each day gets crossed of the calendar we are one step closer to surf, glorious uncrowded surf!

This feeling should be shared, it’s too wondrous to keep to oneself you need to book a trip.

Surf Maldives, Surf Sumatra, Surf Indo, Surf Samoa, Surf Fiji, Surf Tonga, Surf PNG or Surf the Caroline Islands. Get waves, get in the water, see the world, slap the international walls of reef breaks the globe over.

The big blue green thing we spin on is playing host to wave perfection as we contemplate the flat spells.

Escape local surf frustration and get the hell out of here.

…….Oh and here’s some of those pictures if the lack of swell wasn’t enough for motivation.
