Who has made the trip? Was it truly worth all the extra time, expenses, planning, effort, etc. (compared to a trip to Central America)? Did it live up to your expectations, after I assume many years of fantasizing about it? Did you score the best waves of your life? Did the crowds ruin everything? Will I regret it if I don't go while I'm relatively young (32 right now)? Eager to hear any thoughts or stories...
