    with $90 one ways on Norwegian air been thinking strongly bout that. do that till January till the chick gets to Monterey then do tactical strikes to hawaii and latin america canada and the pacific north west is one possible game plan.

    i thought i saw Frontier doing a bunch cheap flights. i think they are based by you up there. With that dough, i'd knock out a region like the Caribbean. I'm sure ya got some places in mind tho already. Barbados is becoming more real for me, planning a trip in April w a buddy

    Detox. Best, and toughest, break you'll ever surf.

    Having said that (and you knew I would, and it's not an attack on you), I'd concur with Indo. Or bounce down through CR, then over to Indo. You're a good enough surfer, you're young, you have no ring or mortgage holding you in thrall.

    Indo.

    And leave the quebec froglette at home--they are culturally trained to not mind your being away; at least, mine never has.

    Been to Indo several times. Never in Nov through March. The earliest I've gone was April.

    The Southern Indian Ocean is prob the most active ocean in the world and I doubt there would be any shortage of swell.

    I've seen pics of Ulus in December absolutely firing.

    If I were you I'd do it like Barry said.

    In fact it would be a great time to go for the first time. Less crowded.

    Have a home base in Bali and keep an eye on the charts. If something pops up it's a cheap jaunt to Sumatra to hop on a charter to the Mentawais. That time of year the boat charters are are waaayyyy cheaper.
    Your a goofy footer and G-Land is a must also. The camps there are also gonna be way cheaper too. G-Land also picks up more swell than Bali so the chances of scoring it are pretty high. Bali also tons of high quality waves that you don't hear about. It's dirt cheap to stay and getting around is easy if you buy a scooter. Jut sell it when you leave.

    In fact I recall watching the Padang cam this winter and seeing overhead waves with a handful of guys on it.
