Hey crew,
So I booked a trip to Fiji in June, sorting the hire of boards from Walu, thanks Scotty88, hope you get a good deal for next visit!!, but apart from Namotu where are there other spots to get a wave?? I'm staying at Plantation so if there are spots out can you please let me know...
Or private message me to keep any secrets..
Thanks
Keen to find out how you go at plantation... we are heading there in August with SUP and Windsurf gear.
No waves i could find around plantation apart from a short boat trip around Namotu , be wary about getting your boards to the island the ferry will either refuse to take them or charge you like a wounded bull. Getting boat trips from plantation to Namotu is also not cheap.But you could always paddle across if you where keen.
Hi, if you can get to Namotu Island you will be able to surf Wilkes Passage and Swimming Pools. If you score Swimming Pools you will have the surf of a lifetime, awesome wave
Yep try Namotu Island with Wilkes Passage and Swimming Pools - the locals seem to be getting frustrated/angry on the crowded days but.
Hey Scotty - Walu have some Naish boards - the Mana 9"5 was reasonable for playing in some surf!

For those thinking of visiting Treasue Island be Warned....
The Island opposite, that appears in the video, and those name escapes me is inhabited by back packing Swedish and Dutch nyphettes who will steal your paddle and enforce slavery. I lost a friend there many years ago.Not a place for your wife to visit either as she may run off with a guy called Jurgen.
Also beware of the mosquitos that infest the treasure island mini golf course - they prey on whities like vultures
This is my pick taking the family and friends there in April an ole school mate of mine owns it , super cheap great spot , surf out front and the owner Andrew has heaps of Sups plus a boat to hit the popular breaks.

On the Coral Coast half way between Nadi & Suva
I just heard from a mate of mine that lives in Fiji that you can get out to Swimming Pools and Wilkes for about $50 fjd from Plantation Is.
Would be better to stay on Namotu if you can stretch it, no go for us as we will be traveling with a couple of families with a lot of kids under 10.
Sweet. Yeah could not get Namotu across the line, we've got other friends with us that don't SUP, yet!!
That's good to know about the boat trip but, cheers mate.
