Indies Trader IV

Maybe you heard by word of mouth? Or maybe you saw her in your dearest surf dvd, or while flickin’ through the folds of your favourite mag. Whatever the case, this vessel’s rep precedes her. For Christ’s sake, she’s got a freakin’ helicopter!

the basics

14-day charters in some of the most perfect waves on earth. 20 guests max, with 12 cabins offering everything from queen and double beds, to bunks. Ensuites in nine cabins, TVs and DVDs players in eight cabins and phones in four cabins. This jib is fully air-conditioned, with an open bar, Apple TV’s loaded with movies, broadband Internet available at extra cost and the chopper available for extra (depending on location).

expedition essentials

hardware: Regular short board, plus something about four inches longer than that, which can handle steep, hollow and larger waves. A spare for your regular short board could come in handy too. The crew can help out with dings and cracks, but materials for repairing snapped boards are hard to come by.
non-surf: A good attitude, sunscreen and wax.
medical: SOS medivac insurance included, full medical and surgical kits on board with immediate access to ex-pat doctors via phone. Inoculations are not required, but left up to the discretion of the client.

waves you want to ride

Martin Daly and the Indies Trader charters have the best reputation in the world for uncovering and surfing some of the world’s most perfect waves in this region. Hell, if you’d been scouring these parts for 20 years you might pick up a thing or two. The majority of high profile and high-performance waves have been found and surfed in the Ments. You know ’em and hell, that’s probably why you’re on your way there! But with experience and ocean knowledge like Martin’s, you’ll be sure to be surfing the right waves, in the right conditions with the least crowd… with maybe a few little surprises here and there!
