The Sunny Coast lads first trip on The Mighty Mango for some good old fashion “Mango madness”!

Words & Pics | Uncle Lip

Conditions/Forecast

DREAMY!!! If you knew where to go.

The cyclone ripping down the middle of the Indian ocean didn’t hinder the opportunity for a trip of a lifetime. That’s the beauty of a sole purpose-built charter boat.

Mangalui Ndulu was made for this!

STANDOUT SESSIONS

Every day on and off the boat was truly a standout session from fishing, Sikakap karaoke and 24/7 banter.

The lads dreamed of scoring a solo session at Greenbush and we made it happen. Just to be out there solo for two days, the lads calling each other in and pushing each other is going to be a session that will be talked about for years.

It was bit of a rough ride to get there but the two-hour early morning crossing was quickly forgotten once the first barrel went down…. and then followed by like maybe 100 more…

Wave of the trip

Touchy subject this one.

It was early morning, and we were sitting at a sleepy but fun right, and with a boat full of natural footers they opted to sit tight and wait for the tide to drop…Veil and I were watching a left across the bay and Veil being goofy asked “can we go?”.

Sure enough, Veil all a sudden is pulling into to some epic tubes and one particular one earned “wave of the trip”.

You know the rule…never miss a Foxy Lady mission!

The group

Such an epic team of lads made up this group of young frothers from the Sunny Coast. Nine natural footers and the one token goofy, that all ripped and had a common goal - get barreled!

No lay days

Sikakap kareoke never lets you down

What a way to finish a trip

Personalities

When everyone is on the same like-minded page it really creates the best trips. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Laughter will always cure a hangover!

Bowsprit beers, the next best thing to beer garden beers

Food

Everyone was blown away on the food daily but when the boys got a whiff of Situ’s famous rendang on the slow cook the excitement was real and the final product did not disappoint.
