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.

Tokoriki Island
Some friends and i are going to a wedding on tokoriki island early in 2010. we all surf and are trying to work out how we can get waves from there. we understand you southwest towards the main breaks (wilkes,etc) but its pretty expensive to do everyday. does anyone know of any closer breaks (even if not perfect) that we will be able to get eassier access too for regular surfs? Tokoriki island is in the far north east of the mamanuca island chain and seems to be blokced from the southwest swells that hit hte main breaks but open to north west swells from what i can gather.

any help??

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
