Can I ask what you took in the way of gear??
How many boards, leggies etc....

I see the ones advertised for around $2500 for 10 nights including airfares....wonder if they are in the same ball park?

We all took way to much gear 2 sups each 3to4 paddles each fins some of us took a surfboard as well it was a mission transporting gear and dragging it to the check ins This boat is full on 5 star travel the meals will blow your mind way too much food never went Hungry and beer could not get through it all this boat you are looking at about $4500 US dollars onwards plus flights and stop over accomodation In K L on way up and back
Would fork it out again tomorrow waves of a life time

The surfboard rack converted well into a SUP rack. Think the longest board that travelled with us was 9'6 x 27 starboard all the rest were around 8'5 and Rogers 8'0. I surfed my starby 8'5pro the whole trip.

Hi Piros. Yeah most of the crew from the boat are coming over, looking forward to having a couple of beers, might not leave it till the last night like last year though that was a long drive back to Sydney.
