Just back from our family holiday to Fiji , stayed at my mates place The Beachouse...Fiji's best budget beach resort on the Coral Coast. We flew into Nadi the day after cyclone Daphne. Here are some pics still working on the video , scored some great waves , not too many surfing pics as I was always in the water , got a few off another photog. The rest I shot on land.

Had couple of Epic sessions at Frigates first trip was 6 foot and smoking second session around 3 to 4. My mate now has 3 boats plus he has just received his container of Corebans so this is a very Sup friendly place with surf straight out front , worth checking out. Had couple of bounces off the reef (going too deep) and came out with a nice Fiji reef tattoo.

I rode my mates Coreban Lithium 8-11 and just loved it , perfect board for the sucky conditions.

My mate paid for these shots ($350 fiji) off Ryan the photog that took the shots , if it's someone else's let me know I'll pull it down. I saw him take the shot of dolphins.

Ouch! .. Great pics thanks Rob..

Thanks Piros!

Looks like you had a great trip...getting me excited for my trip starting this Saturday.

How was the wind most days? Interested to know as the forecasts were generally
pretty windy but would be keen to know how accurate the forecast actually are.

Coral coast is a funny place you need local guides 1 to 2 foot out front can magnify to 3 to 4 on other reefs , same goes for the wind , it might wreck outer sections but produce on inner reefs.

Don't get too fazed on the reef cuts that was just a bad decision on my last day.. as your confidence builds you move further inside , I just went that bit too far.

Great war wounds. That pic just needs a bit of cropping though, please.

yep those tan lines need some work...

nice pics - thanks

Bugger add another item to the bucket list

That looks absolutely beautiful apart from the shots of your back and crack

Nice work

Yet another awesome video mate,how good was that,thanks for sharing.

It's about 40km west of Pacific Harbour , just before the Warwick.
