  • For 10k you can vacation in Hawaii, surf whenever, and stay at the 4 seasons.

  • Brilliant idea, excellent execution. However, for 10k you could fly to Bali, rent a villa with a private pool for a month, rent a motorcycle for a month, surf everyday, party everyday, eat at the best restaurants everyday, you’d still have some money left over. 10k is an insane amount of money for this.

  • I'm all in to ride an epic wave park like this but 10k is F'N ABSURD!
