Cheap Accomodation - Hi, I'm over in Fiji for three weeks in Sept. I'm looking to surf most days, does anybody have any advice on cheap places to stay that offer boat rides out to the reefs. I'm not looking to leave the main island (apart from boat trips) to try and keep costs down as ive heard it gets expensive.

thanks

Not for beginners - There's really no good beginner surf in Fiji. The area is known for it's challenging offshore reef surf, because there is really only one beachbreak area. Even so, when the waves are good there, it's a bit more powerful than a beginner would wish for. Best to enjoy the tourist trail in Fiji, and get some good help learning at your next stop.

Windy in July, YES! - I don't have any experience surfing in the Mamanuca region (Tavarua), but owing land along the Coral Coast has revealled that June thru September brings on the Trades. Most of our breaks don't like the southeasterlies, but Frigates Pass handles it fine. Is there one area capable of serving your range of experience?....doubtful. Fiji's surf is primarily reef-pass. No matter the size, reef experience is recommended as newbies will be intimidated by the sharp coral.

Batiluva???? - Has anybody been to Batiluva recently? I went there a while ago but the boat they used was very sus and the vibe between the 2 drunks that owned the camp and the locals was very dissapointing. Beautiful spot to go just wanted to know if anyboby has been recently and can tell me if its worth going back out!
