Hey all,
I'm taking off in August/September for a round the world, year long, water trip, and looking for people to hook up with. I'm planning on taking my surfboard, and some dive gear, and hitting as many countries, from Iceland to Argentina , as possible, and surfing, or diving, or both, all of them. If you can show me some good spots, or you want to learn how to surf, or how to dive (I am a SCUBA instructor), have odd jobs I can pitch in with, or just want to grab a pint and shoot the breeze, give me a holler. Appreciate any and all comments. Lates.

Joan,
Been trying to upload my photo, but not having any luck. Following the "64x64" rule...the jpeg rule...but no go...

August in Thailand...diving...hmmmm...tempting, but thats when I would be starting my trip, and Ihave to surf/dive Iceland and the rest of Scandinavia before winter sets in. Probably won't be in Asia until late Spring, or summer, but thanks for the offer.

Thats awesome, Im planning to do my Instructors in Sydney around Oct, and then want to go work somewhere like fiji or the Maldives for 8 months before uni. Do you know if there is good surfing in the Maldives?

wanderingwaterman

Punter-Awesome, right on for going for the instructorship! As far as surfing in Maldives...check out this page:

Looks likes there's some great surf there, though if I were tochoose between Maldives and Fiji...Think Fiji would win hands down. Let me know how your training goes, and maybe we can do a few dives/surf a few breaks.

Later
