Many pictures of Maldives surf trip
« on: May 24, 2018, 09:52:45 AM »
We had quite a few cameras on the trip and I ended up with close to 2000 pictures. I posted 160 of them on my smugmug page

Wow, Tom, you scored big time.  As I recall, the last Bert  trip was rained out and not much surf.

Bert and I chuckled over that. One surf session into the trip we more than doubled our wave count of the 10 day Fiji trip.
P.s. there are a few spots open for next year .

Wow, what great looking surf.  Looks perfect for SUP surfing.  Sizable, but not too big, too. Thanks for sharing, Tom.

Guessing it speaks to the quality, and quantity, of waves that you let this one go by without even thinking about swinging around :)

That's Chris, 71 years old. This was the first time I've been on a trip with some one older than me. He got tons of waves but stayed off the bigger ones.

Always nice to have an older Coot Kook around to make you feel young.  Unfortunately, I'm becoming the Coot Kook.

He and you are my heros.  I'm 60 and hope to keep going a very long time.

If he's that old, he might have gone to high school with Jesus.

All the pictures are rights (which would suit me just fine).  Any lefts on the trip?  (it'll be the first question my buddy asks)
