Desperations Surf Spot Guide, Fiji Desperations is one of Fiji's most reliable reef breaks, earning its name by delivering consistent waves when the rest of the ocean lies flat. This exposed coral reef break offers both left and right-hand peaks that peel off a distinctive hump in the barrier reef, making it a go-to destination […]
charge it at the bowling section, and pull in. Bowl section is when it starts turning around the reef passage. The reef seemed to have a boomerang type shape with lefts going diagonally down the line and a very deceptive looking fast right/closeout around the corner. The inside waves which broke from about 3-4 ft, had a nice open section at the start with a good wall which got faster and rounder the further you went down the line, until it eventually closes out on shallow coral. The sets tended to break in a couple of spots. The usual ones would break just as the inside ones, but about 30-40 yards further out and a bit longer and faster. These tended to be best ones at about 5-7 ft. I saw a few bombs come through which were a couple of feet bigger and went longer, and unriden. Every now and again there would be a few rogue sets which would break wide and more parallel to the reef. These were fast, hollow and makeable but shorter (get out before the end). The sets seemed to come out of the deep and just appear on the edge of the shelf, which made it hard to stay in position for them. And there is no channel to paddle through once caught inside. I also surfed it in fun, small 2-3 ft offshore/cross-shore. A great wave whichever the size.
Cloudbreak Surf Spot Guide, Fiji Cloudbreak stands as one of the world's most revered left-hand reef breaks, a legendary wave that consistently delivers perfect barrels and fast-moving walls that can hold rides for over 200 meters.

Canoes Surf Spot Guide, Fiji Canoes is a mellow right-hand reef break tucked near Namotu Island that delivers perfect waves for surfers looking to escape the crowds and enjoy uncomplicated, forgiving conditions. This private break sits inside the Swimming Pools area and offers small, rolling waves that peel across sharp coral and rocks with surprising […]
You can paddle out to the break (200m-250m). It's a nice small right that's alot of fun. It has an easy take off but the end is shallow. It's only ridable on higher tides and in waves up to 4ft (any higher and it gets really sucky). Good to ride on anything from a longboard to a boog.
Papa Hanga Roa Surf Spot Guide, Easter Island Nestled on the wild southwest coast of Easter Island, Papa Hanga Roa delivers fun, reliable reef-rocky waves that peel both right and left over a sharp coral and rock bottom. This spot captures a raw, uncrowded vibe where surfers connect with powerful Pacific swells amid the island's […]
One word to describe the spot is heavy. It's a lot heavier than it looks and most of the time it looks really heavy. It's a full on committed surfing experience only for expert surfers looking for the wave of a lifetime. Coral heads popping up everywhere with low tide. It's a sunset style take off with a Pipeline bowl over shallow urchin infested lava rock reef. Bring a pintail or round pin a wetsuit always even though temperatures is warm enough but just to avoid cuts and bruises.
First surfed in the early nineties but never documented by an american and australian surfer who say got the best waves of their life. It wasn't really surfed until the Brock Little/Laird Hamilton in 1993 which showed the potential of the wave to the world and locals. Some Brazilians and other crews (Longs Brothers, Tamayo) ) have surfed the spot as well.
Depending on the swell direction and size it can have two different peaks breaking just a couple of yards apart. it requires surfers to be top shape and in top of their game in order to ride the wave successful and avoid any injuries or horrible wipeouts. If you do love waves like Pipeline and Teahupo'o but cannot handle the crows this is uncrowded and will have a hard time getting a local to surf along.

Truly awesome, long, fast, barreling, sucky, world class left pointbreak, breaking over a very rocky, long volcanic point. Experts only. The entry and exit is gnarly. Holds very big waves, but gets a bit dangerous due to the rocks. Described by some as a similar wave to G-Land.
