Allois and crew, you guys have got this place dialed up. From the boats to the endless sashimi on the sushi train this may have been the best surf trip ever!
From the moment I stepped off the plane the waves never dropped under head high and I never surfed with more then 5 people out at one time. Had the most perfect wave of my life. Never thought it was possible to get 3 shacks on the same wave. Had the best session of my life just me and Isaac (surf guide) trading perfect P-Pass barrels all afternoon by ourselves…something I will never forget!!!
Thank you for making me feel like part of the PSC family.
Allois, Hayley, Katie and Milla, Best to the family.
Isaac, you’re the man!
Thank you for being on the shoulder to watch me get barreled off my head.
Much love, John Pickle, San Diego.

Kaselehlie (?) / Aloha Allois
Best tubes of my life (backside).
3-6 foot Hawaiian with bigger sets.
What can I say? This trip was a dream. We also went diving and trolling just to add icing on the cake.
The food was good, the boat men were great and Isaac was a stoked surf guide (and he rips too!).
I hope to return but don’t know if it will ever be this good again.
Aloha and Thanks.

PSC Crew
Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. Good luck moving forward with your family Hayley + Milla.
So many great moments. The people, their culture, the landscape, and most important the water and magic that it entails.
From the best conditions of the season to date (31/12/08) to the awesome crew that shared a couple of perfect days at Palikir.
A special thank to your drivers + staff included Isaac, the PCR restaurant staff, always willing to extend a helping hand.
The fishing trip to Ant and snorkeling was awesome.
Many thanks to Jerry, Walik, Toshio, Johnny, and all the special characters that made this trip the best holiday I had.
I shall return
Until then may you continue to enjoy the success that comes from running such a good ship.

I would definitely say it was the best right I have ever surfed. It was unbelievable. They were easily the most perfect waves I have ever caught in one trip for sure.
Shane Dorian

The trip was amazing! thanks for organizing our flights etc. That day of surfing at P-Pass was easily the best of my life! the wave is like reverse teahupoo! everything was so well organized pick ups, boats, food and accomo it was all epic!
Mark Matthews

It was the best session of surfing I have ever had. To surf waves like that with me and only two other mates out was incredible, its the best right in the world by far.
Dan Ross

Thanks for inviting me along. This has been one of the best trips I have ever been on. We scored good waves every day. That right-hander Sonden's on the big day blew my mind. I wish I had my 6'8" on the boat so we could have had a go at some of the 10-12 foot bombs. The beetle nut was a memorable experience along with the hazard control chicks. Loving the Sakau and vodka deadly.
Tom Innes

Cheers Allois and Chris had a great trip, plenty of things to do. P-pass looks amazing and the few moments it came to life was sick. One good barrel made my trip and all my mates that are here with me. Food was good if not great. Weather was sick pretty much the whole time. Thanks guys you have done a great job. Stoked to have been here.

An epic adventure to the heart of Palikir. Looking out more than in. Riding fast and high, exploding ocean warping by…some of the best barrels of my life… Stoked. Thanks boys.
Keep it up
Kierren Perrow

Thanks for the great time. Didn't get much surf- it didn't reach the high waves of the prior epic sessions but it was a fun wave the whole time. The hikes to the ruins, gun emplacements, waterfalls, and fishing added a whole other layer of things to do. The larger falls are some of the best I've ever seen. I'll be back.
Jeff Divine

Amazing place you have here guys. Never ran out of things to do. P pass is perfect. Can't wait to come back and get it with some more size. Stay away from Allois. He is a creepy man, nah LEGEND. Chris and Sonden all top guys. I will be back for more perfect barrels and big pits. Adios.
Simon Ormerod

That P-pass wave is a piece of shit. Wish it would barrel, ha kidding. The best wave I have ever surfed and the afternoon beers don't taste any better. Cheers.
Beau "Naughty" Emmerton

Been around the world a million times. Seen the best waves in the world but this trip was one of the best. P-Pass is f*@#!ing sick at two feet or eight to ten the place unbelievable. To all the boys at the camp…great work.
Gary Kong Elkerton

Just had the best surf trip of my life. Insanely sick barrels, great crew, and great people. Thanks for giving us a taste of paradise. Allois and Chris, Sonden, Biro and Roro - you guy's rock.
Donny Valenzuela

Thanks to all the boys; Allois, Chris, Sonden, Biro and Roro. The trip of my life. Best barrels and best time ever. Can't wait to see you all soon.
Chris "Roots" Ruotolo

We scored six to eight foot P-pass. Everyone calling it their best day of surfing ever. Thank you Allois and Chris and the boat boys. I'll be back
Andrew Shield

Thanks Allois and Chris.
Surfed some of the most perfect waves of my life. The most tubes I have ever had on a trip that's for sure. Thanks again to Fred and the boys. This island is paradise.
Brenden Margieson

Most epic session ever.
P-pass is by far the best right in the world
Dylan Longbottom

Thanks for all the hospitality and the most fun I've ever had at a surf camp with a flat spell… Never laughed so much in my life. Good on ya crew. I'm going to bed early.
Spider from Coolum

Allois, Chris, Sonden, Biro, and Roro you guys have shown me something I'll never forget. Thanks you so much. Scored perfect P- pass with only a few guys. Longest and best barrel I've ever surfed. Can't wait to come back. Keep an open room for me if the swell is supposed to be big. I'll be on my way.
Ian Powell

What a fantastic place. P-pass has the perfect setup. Allois, Chris, Sonden, biro and the crew were great.
Rowdy

To all you crew out there may be wondering about going to the Carolines. I first came to the Carolines 5 years ago. I feel in love with the island, the people and the waves. P Pass on its day would be one of the best waves in the world. It is ever possible that you may get the barrel of your life. There are also some really fun set up around the island. These can offer up some great option when it is to small for P pass. Allois runs a great camp with good ac-com and great fishing trips and loads of great day trips for those flat days. There is never a 100% that you will get waves, but that is half of the adventure. Either way you will really enjoy your stay with Allois and his great staff, and you may get barreled off your face.
Many Thanks for so many great memories.

I have been wanting to send you some pics from our trip back in Feb 2007 for months. Our computer has a virus and I had to get all our photos off the computer, a good chance to make another copy to send to you guys. I mainly wanted to send the few shots of Gerry, to show him. He was a top guide and played a big part in our trip being such a perfect holiday. We where all very impressed with all your staff and cleaners and facilities that made the trip so good.
Every part of our trip was excellent, from our rooms, the local food, local hospitality, daily island tours, transport, weather, and the waves just topped off the perfect trip.
We all regularly call each other on the phone or emails to just relive every part of our trip, the photos just help to keep the memory there daily. I have 360 shots which Jye and I look at regularly. I think we will keep doing that for years to come. I still haven't edited our video yet, 3 hrs footage to try and cut down to an hour or so. Not just the awesome waves but the landscape, people, views and local culture was a big part of our trip, that we all treasure as fond memories.
Thanks for a great time, we all hope to get back soon. I have to take my wife on our 20th anniversary for a holiday this summer but hope to get back the next year. I just hope the place isn't too popular by then with every surf team and surf magazine wanting to get there whenever it is on. The trip with Mark Matthews and Shane Dorian was an awesome session, big topic in mags at the mo with the big call BEST SURF TRIP EVER>!!!!! It definitely looked it.
Well thanks again, say hi to Gerry, Beero, Wally, Sirpino etc., and if you ever need a building team to help you build the new facility, let us know. Love to help build your new camp.
Regards,
Dave, Jye & Brad

I want to thank you for the best trip of my life!!  I caught the best waves I have ever seen and the trip of a lifetime really held up to it’s expectations.  As you know I was in Pohnpei for a total of 8 days and surfed for 6.  Just swell after swell.  The hospitality of the locals was unmatched by any other place I have been too.  Not to mention the insane fishing that we also did.  I have never been fishing and caught something in less than 1 minute of getting the lines wet.  Unreal.  The second day I was there we went to Ant atoll as we were waiting for the swell to arrive.  We caught a Wahoo on the way, and then went snorkeling on a reef that was thriving with marine life.  Saw a black tip swimming below us and all kinds of tropical fish as well.  After we snorkeled we went to a deserted beach, started a fire and cooked the Wahoo.  Just like the show survivor.  Had a few cold beers and just floated in the bluest water I have ever seen.  After that I thought this is the most perfect day I have ever had and we didn’t even surf yet!!  After relaxing on the beach we left Ant and headed to pass to see if the swell was early.  Luckily it was and I got a barrel on my very first wave.  We surfed for 3 hours then headed back to the camp for dinner.  The next day the swell fully arrived and it was insane.  4 foot overhead + and no wind.  It was one reeling barrel after barrel.  I had never seen anything like it.  I surfed three sessions and we stayed all day.  During the trip I took a total of 600+ pictures in between sessions and had just as much fun watching the waves as I did surfing them.  As you know I traveled by myself and was a little apprehensive about that.  It didn’t matter because I met some of the coolest people on earth and still keep in touch with all of them by email.  Aussies, Brazilians, Americans, and a US soldier that came from Iraq .  There were all different types of people and every one of them I consider a friend.  If anyone is out there looking for a trip and wants to surf perfect un-crowded waves book it now!!  Palikir is an awesome wave that breaks just like all the pictures and videos show.  I came all the way from NJ and would leave again tomorrow if I could.  Thanks for helping me realize a dream that I have always wanted.  All surfers want that same thing, perfect unspoiled waves that break for ever.  Palikir is that wave and you will find it is worth every cent.  I could go on for hours about the trip (my friends know this because I talk about it almost daily) but I will keep it short.  Thanks again, I can’t wait to go back!!
All the best,
Joe Butler (Buttress), Avalon NJ
