Surfing Waves

so check this out guys. im going on deployment, my first. im gonna be out to see for six months but check out the places im gonna get to surf. hawaii, australia, japan, thailand, bali, india. im sooo pumped. anyone know if any of these places(besides hawaii duh) are any good?

all of them at the right time

Where abouts in Thailand? Come in June-October and you'll get some surf.
Australia...duh!..of course...
Japan is epic.
Bali..well..happens to be the most popular surf destination in the world.
India, fairly unkown but possibly awesome waves (from the swell charts i've seen) If not india then Sri Lanka has awesome surf.

I never would have thought about India or Sri Lanka for surf. But they are on an ocean sooo....
Will have to research this so I can sleep at night.

aah potential epic places. I've been to south west sri lanka for 4 days
only surfed ince, but it was overhead and clean!

but does the navy love you?

what kind of 'love' are you thinking Libby?!

ha ha libby. the navy def does not love me. i cause too much trouble.

hey dec, just talked to my buddy and he says that navy ships pull into phuket when they go to thailand

Will they let you bring surf boards on the boat?

as long as i can find a place to put it. my buddy brings golf clubs

Why take golf clubs on a boat, or should that be ship?

which Navy are you in?

and yes Northswell, it would be a ship. Submarines are called boats.

haha timmo. yeah im going on a guided missle cruiser. may shop has lots of space and i can put stuff under the deckplates so ill be able to bring my board.

Sounds like you will have a lot of great opportunities. Thanks for serving your country.

Was in the Army a long long time ago, and my first experience of surfing was seeng the Penguins and Porpoises surfing in what, looking back was 8ft surf in the Falklands. A real David Attenborough moment. Although we were a little naughty and cornered a penguin so we could see if it had feathers. It did feel like a bird though but a lot less mobile.

Yeh man, ditto the above about serving your country. There are too many people who would like the old world peace stuff, but without the poeple like you and el_timmo, i presume your a Navy lad, and anyone else who is serving their country it would be impossible, welll done guys.

hey thnaks man. its really rare that i we get thanked. not that i expect anything, its just nice to hear. timmo in the service?

My Nephew is due to go to Afganistan in the New Year, how bad is that! When i was in it was in the Army, between the Falklands and The first Gulf war, nothing was really going on in the world, thankfully. But i had a lot off friends out there in Desert Storm, i wrote them but I didn't really get what was going on then let alone now!
