Has anyone here ever considered a trip to the Bajuni islands? :unsure:

Somali pirates are highly over-rated.

Plus, they mostly stick to the horn up north.

:shameonyou:

OP, I'd preferably go to Madagascar if heading for that area.

Not at all. My interest was Namibia. Even without Skeleton Bay, looks full of good spots. English speaking, nearly First World living, (was part of S. Africa). Downsides: Far away, cool water temps., too much sea life.

No. Why would anyone? Looks like a rare area for major ground swell, and the bathymetry looks pretty flawed. That straight outer sand bar extends horizontally for hundreds of miles, so any of the few nice looking coves are rendered useless.

Unless I'm missing something here. :shrug:

Could also benefit from some trees.

What about Pepe's Island? Where was it again? New Guinea or something like that. Is that still a thing?

Looked like a really good wave.

Has anyone been besides Poster and OTF?

What about Samoa? Wasn't Salani a good surf destination?

We tried to go to Galapagos but turned out it was way too sharky.

We should all do a convergence on ElOgros compound. That would be a hoot!

Who's in for that strike mission?

Don't tell him though. We want to make it a surprise. He loves surprise visitors.

Let's do this! October will be perfect timing.

There is a really nice little resort on a point that no one surfs. I was going to go before I was taken out of the game.
