Pinnacles North Telo Surf Reports

A pretty sweet family vibe at Pinnacles North Telo through July, and lots of waves too! Let’s meet our clans from earlier in the month, trip 19, 2nd – 12th July. Fiona, James, Sophie & Kayla Butcher. The Butcher family hail from a small crayfish town in West Australia, where 16-year-old Sophie and 18-year-old Kayla…

On Sunday, 24th March earlier this year, departing guest Olivier gives Pinnacles staff a bro-hug goodbye, walks across the tarmac and climbs aboard the waiting charter flight.

Pinnacles North Telo’s eight-surfers-only policy was put to the test – in the nicest possible way – with couples, a young family and a bunch of mates all making the most of a glorious eleven days here in paradise. Let’s meet this happy collection of humans. Our first couple: Carlos and Nicole Aboutiz hail from…
