Well, considering half the reason is to see you, now I’m not sure lol

guys? Should we just go score silly in Oaxaca? Or make a pilgrimage to casa Ogro. I leave it to the forum to determine our course of action.

come on man, don’t you even heart of darkness, Colonel Kurtz?
To surf I would seriously go to Oaxaca. no question.

I'm kind of good at it, but i also get controlling. But, it's in everyone's best interest to just go along with whatever i say or have planned. I have the GROUP's best interests at heart, so long as they mostly align with my own :computer: :shaka:
Bro I still can’t believe you’re gonna foot the bill for everyone’s trip. You pay for everything of course you can call the shots.

It’s either the endless points of Oaxaca or a visit someplace new, someplace I’ve always wanted to visit, and sh!t ; I’m from New York. If it’s warm and fun it’s fine with me, with an ogro visit thrown in for good measure

and I’m paying for the driver not the whole trip. We’re splitting that silky smooth cliff top house

Great tune up for the usually disappointing Hurricane season!

Is that strip club/brothel where you can take a shower with the chicks right in the club still there?

Any of you guys been to Long Island (Bahamas)? The Tarpon Expedition guys on Instagram are based out of there and seem to have some pretty dreamy setups dialed in. Everything looks really shallow and sketchy though. I've spent a good amount of time in the Abacos and scored decent waves a handful of times out there and 100% do not recommend exploring Bahamian reefs by means of involuntary body contact.

No but I looked into it. There was a surfline feature on it, not really named, and I am 98-99% sure Ben Gravy has done a couple trips there.

Kind of like the rest of The Bahamas, if it wasn't highly onshore, same swells as Florida, and costs a fortune for island time/service with questionable board bag logistics, it'd be a no brainer.

My experience with the Bahamas is limited to the Northern half of Eleuthera, Harbor Island, Spanish Wells and a couple of days in Nassau (Nassau sucks). Cat Island looks pretty cool and may have surf potential too.

I have heard the remote SE Bahamian Islands are holding, but only boat access.

Guy I grew up surfing with sold the family house in my town and built a beautiful home in front of a break in Turks and Caicos. Explore this link on google maps to grasp the potential when its on. Its a boat ride or a long sharky paddle from his front door to the surf.

My last trip there was 40 yrs ago. Stayed in Gregorytown and hitched to Surfers. Back then everybody left their boards in the bushes so that you didn't have to drag it back & forth. Beautiful beaches, clear water, lots of shark stories but I never saw any. Had fun surf all week.
