Wavepark Resort, Mentawais is extending their 2011 season for a custom SUP only trip. The resort caters for a maximum of 12 surfers, but will run this SUP trip if a minimum of 8 people book.

The SUP only concept was developed after a recent trip this year. There are fewer people around, and it allows the guests at the resort to talk "SUP" - for ten days straight. I am not employed by Wavepark and will struggle to get there in November, but it is a great idea......

There are some 21 breaks surrounding the resort, which are accessed from the resort by two speed boats. The boats head off every morning and afternoon to different waves according to the groups preferences and ability.

Arguably the best time of year for SUP's in the shoulder season, the waves are normally in the 3-5 ft range and there are few charter boats around.

The trip costs around 3,100 US for the 11 days, plus connecting flights, and includes meals, boat transfers to the breaks and surf guides etc.

An optional photo package is available to capture the memories.

Shoot any questions through to me or the guys at Wavepark - www.wavepark.com.

This trip will marked throughout the US and Europe over the coming weeks, so don't hang around.
