The plans are taking shape for a surfEXPLORE surf trip to The Philippines in late September - new locations, new waves, several of which are very likely never to have seen surfers previously.

If you want to surf in crowds, go ahead and spend your cash on another Bali trip, another trip to Laki Peak or a Maldives or Mentawai boat trip -

Non-sheeple surfers wanted, USD $3k per pax - see my description on the Waverii site.

"The accommodations are rather unique and quite interesting"

translates to sleeping under a tarp on a tarp or tart

Feel a bit sorry for the dude , seems a bit desperate for some cash . Gave up on indo pretty quickly, must think there’s no waves after August.

what is this, @john.calhoun? what do you get for $150?

(It looks like a consult, like and hour's phone call of advice and some emails? which seems a fair tariff, given your background, but it is a confusing listing.. 4 people, walk to break? five locations = $600? Is that just how that waverii site is structured, or is this some other trip idea?)

“ Surfers; for the most part, are sheeple - they do what other people have already done and they go where other people tell them to go. “
So go where Shonky Showbag Tours tells you to go & do as he says when he says it and you will be fine ……..Sells used cars in between shonky tours .

You can't feel sorry for him. His whole shtick sucks and there's no wonder he doesn't have people lining up for his services.
