Just came back from Fiji ,stayed at the Beachouse Thanks Piros for recommending it my 6 year old son loved it didnt want to home

,,
we had a ball did 3 DW paddles 10km 2 in 30knt 1 the race which I didnt know was on ,was like a lake but paddling over beautiful coral reefs ,surfing Fiji are organizing sup racing each month so look up there website or there face book for info and photos
www.surfingfiji.com.fj
Thanks to Scotty at Namouto for lending me a paddle for the race and Andrew from the Beachouse I borrowed a Corban Alpha not as fast as the starboard Im use to but it was amazing to be able to get on the water with the crew, my wife Cath also did it and won the women section on a 11ft 6 cruiser beating the Fiji girls on there 12.6
The spirt is the same as the Scotts Head race participation they had 17 guys and girls with all levels of experience .
If your looking for a great sup holiday family or mates its like staying at someones house ,Had some great sessions on the 8.11 right out front and then took some boat trips to uncrowded breaks
Andrew is the Agent for Corban so you can hire boards off him and you can DW at high'to mid tide ,, and they will pick you up ,water temp is perfect 25d
I will throw a few more photos up when i get a chance ,I would also recommend it to clubs as it very reasonable and your on the mainland plus Andrew is constantly getting more water equipment

Hey Sands and Piros
didnt get out to Frigates the day we were going the wind came so surfed a nice left down the coast 15miutes in the boats
the break out in front of of the beachhouse is a right and there is a left which I surfed twice pretty fast upto 3ft
the beachouse right handles upto 6ft and is best on high tide for ofbs it was my first time sup surfing on coral and just found you had to believe in yourself and take the drop once your in the pit its ablast ,on the other side of the passage there is a soft left which a lot of guys were suping on 10ft boards ,I found if you ask Paul or Suna the locals they will give you good advice
I watched paul pull in the PSH 9.2 in to a an amazing barrell they sit really deep
as Piros said dont sit inside the Fijians and I can see why
but all in all theres waves for all levels and we had a ball just in front no boat trip
plus when the winds up do the downwind run and get picked up its one of the easiest and best downwind runs you can do I put a few more photos up later BULLA VINAKA
