Sounds like a great trip Ric but I've already got other plans, damn what a shame..... I will just have to make do with Mauritius

Yah Yah, That would be good, but having access to any spot via the mother ship and it's tenders will be something special

...where the natives are way better looking - should be a far more suitable kite trip for a man of your talent.

Now Now guy's we are straying a little off topic here

Wind, waves, flat water and PNG is what it's all about

Hopfully the boof heads don't read this thread and take it into the gutter

What time & where does the flights from Oz leave / return ??

for 27th july & august 12th....

I was lucky enough to get to do this trip year last. It was a pretty sick experience and we got some epic conditions as well.

The boat was amazing. Nice rooms as well as a lounge room with a tv, dvd player,etc. The food was epic too. Buffet style breakfast lunch and dinner all included with some of the best food I have ever eaten

For flat water the place is great. Perfect little offshore sandy islands with nice glassy, warm water. I had such a great trip and I'd recommend this trip to anyone else who is keen. There's also so the extra baggage allowance the PNG surfing association offers. Something like 50kg you can take which is always a bonus. Anyway if your heading over on one the upcoming trips, enjoy it, it's an amazing place.

Cheers,
Keahi

i got my flights return from brisbane for 400 bucks so stoked counting down the sleeps already yew

Yah, I spoke to the lady today and she says they have these specials every now and then, but they are not on their website?

Normally only $436 to fly to port moresby anyway (plus the internal flight we are also booked on that is another $86)

I haven't been able to find anything anywhere about the price for the part of the trip once you land in PNG

still up ric? and on seabreeze. sounds like my life. haha

as a general rule: as a high moves east across australia we will have excellent wind. the stronger the high and the further north it sits the better.

you can try

www.bom.gov.au/marine/wind.shtml <-- choose queensland - north and it will show the southern section of PNG and the islands you want to check on. not really sure how accurate it s in the eastern islands but it will give you some idea.

buoy weather is pretty accurate and wind guru is good as a guide but usually 5 knots under at least.
