Great Vid Tardy

Big Naan looking after you guys well

How were the winds on this trip??

thanks DHUSOUTH , Naanu sure looked after us and put us on some good wave and came out with us one day on his boogie .

we only got half way south to Mushrooms where the big waves where shot ,had a 9 foot leg rope that ended up 13 foot
I changed it because I thought it might break ,then the new one broke ,my flow looks well used now ,Naanu flew the drone to find it it was up in rocks underneath some coconut trees ,no dings just full of deep scratches ,a good sand and back out the next day ,Cantsupenoughs board wasn't so lucky ,brand new 8'8 flow huge dings ,leg rope broke .some dudes never went out because of the size ,which was sensible as I was crapping a few times .

but yes a big storm made us head back to quarters ,Tucky Joes ,so never got to surf ,Macardos gggr safety first as the captain of ARK NOBLE Said ,but some boats did head south and got slammed and Marcardos was 12 foot so they said ,not SUP surfing waves for us old folk lol ,but we had big enough surf up north ,and loved driving that car in the vid ,it hauls arse .so much fun .

Thanks for sharing. wow!! Maldives with great food. Great surfing a what a bonus to have a drone flying around your epic rides.

Thanks, Tardy

I can relate to that, had very similar experiences at Mushrooms and at Muli

CSE (Jason) loves a big wave so no doubt he had a crack

Macardos at 12ft, now that would be a sight to see

How was the Ark Noble ?

Cheers

Looks like it was a sweet trip mate. Super jealous.

When it goes wrong... it's always the stories gained that make up for it.

Yew!

These 3 lads had a great time ,

What is the sea state like while traveling between breaks? How's the rolling while anchored?

Being fairly seasick prone is the one big factor keeping me from booking a boat trip. But all these gorgeous pics make me soo JEALOUS! lol

Yep, I did the 12 day Moon trip in May this year and will pack a kite next time for sure. Saving up for the 17 day trip in 2027!
Pack spare leggies & plenty of peroxide for the inevitable reef kisses
