Re: Waidroka - Things are not optimum. The politics you refer to are less about villages, and more about ex-pats vying for exclusivity to this zone or the other. Fruitless, petty garbage, as "Waidroka Bay Estates" is a residential community with solid usage agreements with three villages. No one party will ever wrestle access away from the hundreds of invested lot owners and residents. The resort, however, is still poorly run. After the Arizona yokels sold, a couple brothers stepped in and have shown even less business accumen. Guests routinely complain of poor service, and poor surf catering. While residents get an hour+ headstart, guests fidget and pace, waiting for their boatman to rally. What's worse, they overload their boats with surfers, some from other resort with no surf access. Add to the dozen or so permanent or vacationing residents, and things can be a struggle. No bad vibes. But who travels all the around the world to share a lineup as crowded as home? Waidroka Bay is a great place, but not the best wave:dollar ratio due to a small swell window, fickle reefs, poor accomodation, and crowding.

Waidroka bay??? - Has anyone been to Waidroka lately? Just interested to find out if they have their act a bit more together. Last time I went there you couldn't surf a lot of the local breaks because of politics between villages.

Better Question... - Could you possibly have any friends?

Get real and ask normal questions - Oh yeh stay cool man and make peace with your surfing brothers and don't pollute the air waves! Don't upset the (friend of Fiji) brothers!
Get real of course there is good waves in fiji and it sits in the middle of the pacific ocean. So wave slave it might be a good Idea to take all your boards and if you get a big swell you can strap your ratboy to your arse so you'll pop up after a big 1 catchs yuo inside while you are scratching around on your big board 6'10!

Lay Off Fool - So the guy's got some money, but no experience to go with it. I applaud his willingness to ask questions rather than conform to the surfer code of idiot-cool. Your hate just pollutes your airspace. To waveslave--Fiji's waves can be fun or heavy. Bring a versatile board for each range.

got the gear, no idea - Sorry waveylavey but you are obviously nothing but a big smelly kook. Oooo, I've got this board and this board and I'm really extra cool because I've got this dw custom with a wierd bottom.Take the ratboy because you/it will get trashed and the gun so you'll be cruising through the chop.
kook.
