So you just won the lottery and can afford to put together what most would consider a once in a lifetime campervan surf trip to any destination in the world. Questions are: Where will you go? You are allowed to bring 4 others from Swellinfo, who will they be? I'm going to Spain and I'm bringing Kahuna Kai, Yankee, LBCrew, and ChavezyChavez. Kahuna is a good friend of mine, a real life Viking, and someone you want on your side should we run into any trouble or if we need do some heavy lifting. Yankee, also a friend of mine (have met once), is someone who is well traveled, well spoken, and knows a lot about a lot. His worldly knowledge will come in handy. LBCrew is someone who I have never met, but I would guess he's a top tier human being. LBCrew's knowledge and talent will come in handy. He'll lead us to perfect waves and will be the group's boart doctor. ChavezyChavez, what can't be said about Chavez that we don't already know? Dude's a riot! His humor and entertainment value is what will keep the trip interesting and the dude knows how to party! Not only that, but he has survival skills that will be useful for when we are lost and in the middle of no where and have to make due with what we have around us. Guys, here's a look at some of the waves we'll be searching for. It's a long video and worth a watch if you are in a day dreaming mood.

I'm going overseas with NJShredMachine (aka BigMoneyT). Thinking of going to hawaii (jaws area) or mavericks (california coast).
I would go with 3 persons--me, myself, and I. After all, why would I want to bring bunch of lousy surfer kooks along with me to clutter up the break?? If I did, I would put you all in a van and roll it off the cliff at Mavericks. Then go have beer.......
Ahhh... Portugal... Great food, great waves, good bang for your Euro... Oh, and did you know they decriminalized drugs? My crew would be all the SI Positive Vibe dudes (you know who you are)... guys who can appreciate what they've got, and can just roll with whatever fate brings when on the road. +1 if you can spearfish +2 if you're not afraid to eat and drink things you've never heard of
Nice, Shred would go. HAHAHA That was actually pretty damn funny Barry, good work! The kind where you're in the middle of the circle. I can dig it!
DSUP you should coordinate IRL. See how many swellers you can get committed to a trip...Pavones or something. And no buzz killing whiners....I'm with LB on this one. Can't stand traveling with folks who are not positive...You are on a surf trip! It would be interesting to see the veil of ones internet persona removed and see what kind of characters we really have posting on this board.
I have always said... you really don't know someone until you travel with them. I'm friends with a lot of people, but I can only travel with a few. Same goes for women... Don't know if you're compatible? Go on a 10-day trip to a foreign country and see how that goes...
Pavones would be choice. I was actually talking to KahunaKai about CR yesterday, possibly for next Spring. I dunno if i'll be able to swing it at that time, but it's possible. It wouldn't be a trip like this though. I need more money for that. There's definitely some characters on here, some good, some not so good. It would get interesting for sure.
Gracias, DP - - sometimes I don't think I know much about anything anymore I'd start my list with you, and then have to request a couple more motorcoaches: too many names to list! Definitely bringing wayne to hand over to the musloids in North Africa.
I'm taking Barry to Newfoundland, pushing him out to sea on an ice floe then surfing up there in the midnight sun.
Right on. I thought about having more than one campervan, after all we just won the lottery, but then I thought about the crowd, and how too many people while traveling can suck because you have too many Chiefs, and not enough Indians, so you end up with negativity and people pulling in different directions. Small group = cohesive unit. Much chiller vibe. We'll strap Wayne to the hood of the van as a hood ornament.
I would love to visit the South Pacific.....Mentawai Islands, Private boat and hire the local knowledge to make sure we score, all inclusive. Dpsup, Lbcrew yankee....don't worry guys trips on me. We would have to time it perfect for the right swell, ya ready!!!
