Does anyone know a good pilot? Maybe we could charter the whole plane ?
Graham & Dale, lock in some dates fellas. We can accommodate both of you being here at the same time. March would be great!

It's OK..... I have a spare bed in my garage. Right next to the grog fridge - I'm sure he'll be happy there!

Hi Dale !!!
The best time for surf in Victoria is April through to November. Generally speaking offshore winds for the reefs and points with good swell although good smaller days on the beachbreaks are not uncommon. A sealed 3/2 wetsuit should be enough unless you come in the middle of winter .... 4/3 and booties are needed then. I have a spare 9'4" you are welcome to use.
To keep up with local surf conditions have a look at
http://www.swellnet.com.au/loc_report.php?state_id=3
We are on the Mornington Peninsula : the breaks there and in Western Port Bay are roughly a 30 minute drive from my place.
You can get more information on local breaks at

Look forward to seeing you Dale !!!!
If you have any questions just ask.

There ya go!
Ummmm..... if it's gonna be the middle of winter I hope you'll excuse me - I'll be in the pub downing a few and watching the footy in front of the fire waiting for you to come out of the surf, mate!

There's a guy in Ocala, FL that has a
plane that would be perfect for the trip .
Anybody have Vinnie Barbarino's phone number?
