- Now i’m stuck back in the office in grey grey London. Overall a fantastic experience, some great waves were had, good people met and i generally thoroughly enjoyed myself. Ok so the accommodation is basic but that’s part of the charm, or it was for me anyway, if i wanted five star and air con with hundreds of other guys in the water, i’d go back to indo. The food was good but slightly lacking but hey, it’s a crash diet for a week and who’s going to complain about losing a few pounds? Both Andy and Melanie were fantastic guides and great fun, managing to balance the different groups well and the various gripes and demands that were thrown at them with grace and charm. They really helped make the experience for me.
In conclusion, i loved the camp and everything that has achieved there. I will definitely be going back, no doubt about that.

Some things still the same - Ask yourself why Morro Negrito surf camp has so many haters. I went there years ago, wasted trip, misrepresentation by the owner, just all around bum trip. Interesting how many people take the time to try and warn you off from this place. Fact of the matter is that dollars can be tough to come by and there are many better options to choose from for surf trips. I see Steve is still hard at work spamming the board with his positive, gleaming posts. Aloha
