The trip was awesome! The crew was killer, all of them were just gold! We were stoked about the boat, crew, the surf (it was pretty uncrowded!) and especially the food, so good!

Everything was excellent. We scored amazing waves, got some great fish, the food was delicious, the boat was super comfortable. The crew couldn't be better. Everything was so good, we are already looking forward to next summer!
