surfing in Fiji
  Warm water all year - very friendly locals - unless you happen to be Prime Minister or on an opposing Rugby Team.... great place to surf - or to just hang out and enjoy the tropical paradise!

Plus: world class surf spots, tubular reefs, powerful and frequent swells

Minus: few rights, bad winds during winter, boat access to the surf spots.

There is only one area of beachbreak (Sigatoka), and it can be quite challenging. For the most part, boats are needed to access most every other break. In some cases, resorts negotiate usage rights that can keep transient traffic from accessing their waves. Out of the way places without much tourist traffic may be more accessible to the home-stay traveler. Local knowledge will help you along. For an inexpensive resort with access to lefts, I would strongly consider a stay at Batiluva on Yanuca island. It is a beautiful place with daily rides to Frigates.

parrots and drongos
having been in fiji and hearing the gossip on many and varied issues,please take these last comments by a misinformed parrot about matanavusi the owners are very friendly ,and alot of these comments are coming from people who are not qualified to comment the surfers at waindroka mud bay arent missing any wavesand are free to surf everywhere except for one break right near matanavusi and was included in the lease agreement with that resort, its hardley worth surfing anyway even for dope smoking hippy freaks.Just go surfing and forget the local politics there everywhere.

Matanivusi owners trying to steal waves
i know for a fact that the owners of matanivusi have tried several times to exclude Waidroka local residents by instigating the local fijians to become violent and get surfers out of the water by force. This is to the owners of matanivusi - people like you should be banned from runnign surf resorts. these are the exact issues which show us visitors (all foreigners in fiji are after all visitors) in the worst light. to instigate simple fijians by the power of money and for some kind of commercial benefit to violence and acting in such ways is simply BAD!. Whoever reads this - STAY AWAY FROM MATANIVUSI unless you are all for violence in the water and stopping surfers from surfing the beautifull waters and waves for the benfit of commercial interest. you money hungry cloudbreak copycats...

matavinusi
i have not heard about waidroka being banned, havn't had any problem with the waves to the south but i know things are starting to get pretty nasty with the waves to the north including with the residents of waidroka. i think the sonar levu who owns matavinusi is going to cop a hiding in the near future

Hideaway, Fiji
By pacoll, 2007-10-18 08:00:00

Had a (apparently) rare session at Hideaway with perfect conditions and fun waves with max 3 guys in the water.  Don't count on the same if you go there, but if you hang around long enough you could get it the same.  Other days were how
