They pretty much give you a complete description of every boat and hand hold you through the decision process. I've never been. Lucky rat bastard.

Hi RL,
Why don't you go further north on Sumatra,it's less crowded.

I've had good experiences with http://www.sumatransurfariis.com/ with Scuzz. He knows the north and the south like the back of his hand. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Many thanks for the replies. End up booking the Budyahdari with http://www.sumatransurfariis.com/. I'll let you know how it goes. We are going to be focusing on the waves down south. Can't wait
