Punani- I almost went there once to build a coconut oil factory.
Palau rocks, from what my friend who went said.
Friendly people on a kicked-back schedule, like most Polynesians.
Try the beetle nuts. My bud sent me a package of them, but I couldn't feel anything.

Cost: $1400 SFO-PNI airfare (w/ Honolulu stopover so I can spend a night in Club Hubba Hubba).
Surf camp is $140/day includes all you can surf barrels, all you can eat food, hotel. I hope they have hot native chicks there in need of some pleasure.

Surfed Guam once, It was very hot in and out of the water. Water was about 85` ! Surf was really good, but the locals say that it's flat for months at a time (you gotta score a typhoon). Everyone I met was super friendly on Guam, kinda like Hawaii in the 50's.
Hot? Oh man. I hate it when the water feels like piss.Quote:

New ireland (so i'm told) gets its surf from the winter storms in the N pacific, so micronesia should get those too. Nov-march i think is the season.
You guys are KILLING me. TGR did that show on FUEL, and we invited the SURFING mag photog to put it in print.
We never did reveal the name of the place we were in, and in fact misdirected the audiance to another location, as did SURFING magazine.
Some spots deserve to be secret - although if you search hard enough you will be able to figure it out I'm sure.
Go Punani - It will blow your mind.
bump!
I made the mistake of googling Micronesia. A different language on each island in some areas. Islands with traditional dress: grass skirts without tops. Giant stone coins: change for a nickle takes on a whole new meaning. Even without insane waves this should be a killer experience. Have a good trip.
My roomate goes down and lives on phonpei for a few months or years at a time...ive seen some pretty nice pictures that he brings back
SuPu where is the TR? Get on it man.

After a while, he started to notice that he was picking the guys up at different houses every morning. Turns out swapping beds was just a normal thing there. It was kind of a matriarchal society where the guys just got loaded and the women took care of whoever they decided to.
edit: Nice synopsis, Sobchak
me an a bud have been thinkin bout moving to palau for awhile to escape all this mainland rat race lifestyle shit. . .its sick all the way around and all the bullshit hasnt gotten there yet. . .at least i dont think so. But i could be wrong
