October 24th – November 4th
Mikkies Turn
Northey and the high officials of kangaroo court came for the beers, haircuts, good weather and countless hours of banter…..and the waves were just a bonus.
Nothing but Blue
The trip came with clear blue skies and not a drop of rain - postcard perfection every day. Even with the small to mid-size swell we had, the light morning easterlies to light trades afternoon combo gave us plenty of options for waves this trip. From Bintangs to Bangkok, we were met with dreamy conditions everywhere.

Tradition Is Tradition
On the Mango we pride ourselves on following tradition and with the continuous flow of beer and nonstop banter it was only a matter of time before someone got a haircut. On this trip a spilt beer meant a definite haircut, any disputes were brought up in Kangaroo Court.
You’re not going to shed weight when the food is this good
Chef Situ exceeded the expectation of the lads - from the first meal to last, every meal was a standout. It’s easy to think you’re going to lose weight on a surf trip but when the foods this good that’s a myth!.
Standout session
It’s hard to pinpoint a particular moment of the trip that wasn’t considered to be a standout. From crab racing on the beach, singing Aussie pub classics at the karaoke bar, sunset booze cruises, non-stop banter and scoring empty perfection – everything you want in a boat trip with your buddies.
