I actually have a surfing related thread for this forum

Gonna be at a wedding around end of March next year anyone got any tips on getting a wave around there? Will have a hire car and soft racks but have to be within a reasonable distance from the place we are staying.
Staying about 1km from the Pub. Will be looking to take over the 9'6 fireball which leads to my next question, how do I travel proof my board bag for the flight or do I have to have a travel bag specifically?
Surfed Gunnamatta same time last year on a 7ft fish and had a ball but swore I would bring my Mal next time.
