Hey Downwinder, Just spent 10 days in May at Salani, yes you can SUP Samoa, but its all reef break & can be very heavy. Surfed Salani right every day, but swell was a little inconsistent which is what happens in May, according to Chris. Biggest day was 6ft & dropped down to 3ft. Salani is fantastic & the guys are very helpful with other breaks & things to do.

Was there in 97' .. Good options.. I recon the north swell setups are the gold
Some very very powerful southern facing waves..

The dogs were in control back then.. As were the pastors of the 'holy' churches.
I hope the locals have culled both.
Let me know..

Thanks Standito I'll keep an eye out. I heard Samoa has some grunt like Cloudbreak in Fiji.
