Burma, or Myanmar is very, very difficult to sail due to the time consuming and exhorbitant expense of obtaining permits. Our hope was that this meant we’d be sailing an area that was pristine and wild. We find it anything but.
We celebrate the New Year with a full moon for company in the Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar.
Scoring wind and waves in the heart of the Indonesian archipelago…
Finding unsurfed and unkited waves takes a lot of homework and plenty of planning, but we’ve gotten pretty good at it over the years and on this trip it pays off in the heart of Indonesia in spades. Join the Best Odyssey with John Amundson on board as we hit a mother of a good swell.
Join the crew from Best Kiteboarding in this wild swing around the island of Pohnpei in Micronesia
Colliding with a reef, surfing big waves, kiteboarding in Micronesia and swimming with Manta Rays packs a hell of a punch on this wild epic
We take to the skies for the first paragliding that has ever been done in Tonga. Insane images.
The prettiest island in the Pacific? It isn’t Bora Bora. Find out here where it really lies.
We lose the wind in Moorea and the Tuamotus and are left…having a blast!
Our first trip to Los Aves proved worthy of a return, which has completely altered our planned itinerary, but all for the good. This time the crew of Discovery only had 4 days to prep both the boat and ourselves for our next guests, Thomas and Adriena Scheuring and their daughter Clara from Germany, and Martin Stockl and Keith Cockrum who would join us from the States. Martin and Keith were on our “try before you buy” gig and I’m happy to say now ten days later that they are our most recent owners! I’m not sure if it was the boat, the food, the locations, or what was the deciding element because unfortunately this trip it probably was not the wind. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
