Just home on monday from beachouse - had a great time - arrived the day after piros and crew left ---- but -- dogman stayed on and went for a surf with a crew at frigates ( 3 standups only were there) subsequently he gave myself and several mates a solid 2 hour lesson in the lagoon and on the beach - must have been impressed with my skill level - so if I can I will post a one wave sequence

that was on the second day -- Andrew said it was a window of opportunity and he was right -- did not get those conditions again mainly surfed out front of the beachouse with one day at the natoldo? beach -- next to a luxurious resort -- small wave with a lot of non surfers taking lessons in the break It get's interesting when surf teaches push people over the falls and say " paddle - use your arms" and they let go of the rails and wipeout in 20 cm deep water
Mainly fairly windy for our entire stay - next time would go in dec jan or feb, even though there is not as much swell, the wind is my enemy when surfing - run out of steam too quickly

the Big Fella charging a wide bomb set!!!!!!

on one of those magical light wind days

It was so good to meet up with all "the wild" woopi crew at The Beachhouse in Fiji

the young backpackers sure got a lesson on how to party when you guys hit town...lol.....

im personally missing my 3:30 scones and strawberry jam arvo sessions

I'm missing the boozy jug beer rampages

and I'm missing the waves perfectly grinding along ledges of razor sharp coral reef

.........DAMMIT THE WAVES ARE SUCH PUSS BACK HERE ATM!!!!!!

Yes - the wind has been non stop since I got back - probably going for a wave tomorrow at back Woopi if wind stays north - meet at CES car park sth end bch at 10 am

Not quite Frigates, but still has swell at present, plus reasonable banks for swell direction

Steve ps another wave
