Surf Report

[Guest]

Just finished watching a '61 surf travelogue, ah those old graceful 9'6" boards..so much more graceful than the new sports kar style.

 

 

 

I've body surfed a pretty good wave at Liam Sing, Phuket.. a good day ( 3+' ) is simular to the east coast of Oahu, more like Mokapu than Sandy Beach.

 

The steep coast generates a steep / fast swell. Nice.

 

Best beach on Phuket by my standards!

 

 

 

There has to be decient swells from the Indian Ocean / Adaman Sea.

 

Would need be north of the Northern Indoneasian barriers.

 

Any body done a surf trip on the Malay Peninsula?

 

Is there a '101' style coastal road?

 

 

 

I think I'm getting my next Thai road trip lined out as I type.

 

 

 

Is there mountainous Thai coast north of Phuket Island?

 

 

 

Met a couple of Aussie kids with their boards last trip, they said there was surf near Karon?.. there is that 'hill' between Patong Si & Karon, might be a decient swell there.. but from Karon south it's not likely the flat coast / bottom would generate a fun swell.
