"I just wanted to drop you a short note to say what an amazing place it is you have created over there, and that the time we all had was amazingly unique and special. I also wanted to say that a massive part of that experience was the fact we had Smanny as our guide, along with Furry, Roy and Gamma. Those blokes are all legends.

In particular, Smanny’s knowledge of the waves in the area, his willingness to back us to surf waves like DC’s straight up, his repour with the locals and other surf guides, the way he respectfully managed relationships with the other boats in the area to ensure we maximised our time at each break with minimal (no) crowds, and just generally his easy going, relaxed and magnanimous way all meant we had one hell of a time.

On behalf of all of our crew, our sincere thanks for one of the best surf trips we have all been on."
