Thanks so much to Plenko, Lathan, Neal & Rosco for a wonderful week. The food is amazing, the surf uncrowded and the guys created a wonderful atmosphere among the group. This was my 2nd trip & I can't wait until my 3rd.

Tanya Kroll , August 07 Trip
Great food. I haven't eaten this good since I started travelling 5 months ago.
-Matias Malkamaki April 07 Trip.
Excellent experience ! The style of remote locations, camping, camp fire cooking make this a unique trip - heaps of appeal to grass roots travellers.
-Ameera Deen April 07 Trip.
Fantastic trip, fantastic leaders - Pat & Kyle, all round fantastic experience. Advertise the food !!! The food was marvelous, would recommend to anyone. Enjoyed the fact that we camped right next to the beaches - well organised.
-Rosanna Gordon April 07 Trip.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere at the camp, much more than on another surf trip I went on. Thanks for the Vege dishes, very good ! I learned that surfing is much more than standing up on a surfboard. Liked the spots !
-Carmen Thoma April 07 Trip.
I thought Surfing would be easy & that I would be a natural talent...but not ! I was really bad at it & I struggled the whole week. But finally I could see some improvement in my surfing after some good advice from Rosco & that was the best feeling. I feel more confident entering the water than just a few days ago. Really had an awesome time, what more can you ask ?
-Kristina Skov Aagaard April 07 Trip.
I feel so energised & inspired. Cheers Plenko, Kyle, Rosco & the rest of the group. Great waves all to ourselves, beautiful surf conditions, sunrises, dolphins, kangaroos, sleeping under the stars, great company, tasty food, campfire guitar & singing, those early morning surf's the best. -Melanie Gnapo March 07 trip
I just returned to the US following last week's Surfari & wanted to pass on my thanks to all the surf guides Jack, Pat & Lath. They were extremely patient in surf instruction & kept the out of water entertainment going throughout the week. It was a great trip & I plan on making my third Surfari sometime next year.
-Eric Bolin Mach 07 trip.

Thanks for an absolutely wicked trip last week. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it, although you probably guessed fromthe amount of time I spent in the water ! Definitely appreciate the tasty food, good convo & the banter. Surfing will always be on the cards from me wherever I go now - next stop Raglan, NZ.

-Nicholas Viborg. January 07 Trip
It was the best trip in OZ.

-Liz. October 06.
Fantastic trip & times with Pat & Rosco & the rest of the surfers. Surfaris was recommended to me by a friend & since being on it I've met so may other people who have been & are planning on going back. I've never laughed so much in my life.
-Anh Nguyen. Nov.06
Unbelievable trip. Rosco & Pat really worked hard to make sure we had the best surfing conditions. Great instructors, great waves, great food. Best week in Australia yet.
-Richard Atkinson Nov.06
Bloody brilliant trip yet again. Ross & Pat were fun, helpful & always made us welcome. As Pat says; " When you're campin'......
-Phil Barlow Nov.06.
This trip was unbelievable ! It was so much fun. I will recommend Surfaris to everyone. The crew were able to motivate everyone to get up at 6:00am to catch the 1st waves and these waves were most of the time the best waves of the day. Thank you so much for the greatest surfs of all.

Oh, my goodness this was one of the best week's of my life ! Thank you Pat & Rosco for giving me the experience of a lifetime. See you next week when I jump on the trip again.

What a fantastic week. The Friday morning at dawn was my personal highlight.....sitting out the back with the dolphins, watching the sunrise & finally gaining some confidence in the waves.
-Claire McCluggage , 22nd October 06 Trip.
It was a true unique experience. I've been on a Surfari way back in '96 & I still remember lots of great beaches & the fun we had. One day I'll be back for sure. Keep on rippin'.
-Thorsten, Hamburg 10/06
At the Arts Factory right now, coughing up a lung & spewing out the other. Thanks Plenko ( a.k.a. the firestarter ) But anyway, enjoyed the jokes. Could tell when we were getting to the end of the week cos the same ones kept cropping up.No matter, see you again on another Surfari soon.
-Damia & John July 06
Xmas 2001 Trip. Loved every single moment. Stoked and barrelled with some of the best people I've met in my life. Hope to come back downunder some time in the future. -Flav. July 06.
I went with you guys back in 03 & it's still my favourite memory of the 5 months that I spent in Oz. Everything was incredible - the crew, the meals, the spots, yoga on the beach & the best part - how STOKED everyone was. Thank you all & keep on doin' what you're doin'.
-Kacie, June 06
Me & a buddy went in 1998 & it was the best experience I have ever had on any trip & I have been recommending it to everyone that I talk to headed your way. Thanks for the good times.
- Ken Dorosh, June 06
What an amazing week. I have to say it has been one of the highlights of my trip so far.

Keep up the good work lads & hope to be back some time in the future.
-Sandra Dardis. June 06.
I have just got back from a Surfari trip that I did last week & I had an excellent time. I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who was on the trip. I got some excellent tuition from Jack & Pat who both really helped me up & standing on the board. It is the people who make the trip& thanks again for an awesome week.
Deborah Tout, April 2006
I was on the 13th Feb.06 trip & thought I should send an email of praise to you & your crew & to let you know that I had a great time. Even as an Aussie the experience generally was really one of the coolest things that I have done. Cheers & I will be doing the trip again.
-Charles Watson, March 2006
Surfaris was a heaps good trip, even if all the other people were older than me. I could go again, right now !!
Sabrina Hessler aged 16yrs.Feb.1st 2006
Just writing to let you know that I had the best time ever on your trip - 8th Jan.2006. I met so many cool people on the trip and have talked to many of them since. Everything was so awesome from the waves to actually getting up on the board, the board rash, the great laughs, yoga & the great crew !!!! I can't wait to do it again.
Carmel Thompson, Townsville Oz.
Thanks Surfaris for all the amazing time. Awesome surf, really nice spots & nice crew. Everything was so fantastic you share your passion so well. It's probably why I did so many trips with you guys & I will miss you all so much. You made my trip to Australia so special & I can't wait to surf again.
Melanie Gignac, 19th January 2006
Hi guys, Thanks a lot for a great week ! I never expected that I would miss it this much afterwards. Hopefully we've got some money left at the end of the trip so we can come again.

“Hello All, especially Jack & Steve. It’s now over a year since I did a Surfari with you & I’ve just watched my DVD again & it filled me with an enormously warm fuzzy feeling. It was probably the best Holiday I’ve had.“

“Surfaris use real boards not just foam boards & you’ve got whole days where you can just surf. I learned a lot about the beach & the wind & tides & just looking at the waves & how to protect myself in the surf.“
Kate Alexander,
