I am going to the Galapagos for a week in January. Does anyone have any advice on board selection, and places to surf? I am a solid intermediate. Am I going to die, or enjoy myself?

Check out this website: http://www.casasol.com/galapagos-breaks.php
The only problem is most, if not all of the waves there get very big and break over shallow reefs so as the website says are for advanced surfers only. You could have a go but I would'nt if i were you.
There must be some beachbreaks if you searched around a bit.
Classic Galapagos waves:
