I just spent a week surfing Frigates and it was great, the waves were fun when small and sick when bigger. Stayed at Yanuca Island Resort for a reasonable price and it was only a 20 minute boat ride to the break.

deals in these times?
Just planning to stop in fiji in mid september on the way from oz to cali. it looks like the best options for budget in terms of time in quality waves are Waidroka and Seashell, would anyone comment on the likelihood of getting a good deal in this harsh economic climate. It seems prudent to maybe split time beetween the two, surfing frigates from waidroka and wilkes and namatu? from seashell.
Cheers,
Eric

Friagtes & Waidroka
Surfed Friagtes and stayed at Waidroka in September this year. Had an awsome time and will definatley be back. Thanks to the owners, Boris & Karin and of course most importantly Ponti, who took care of us throughout. Resort was beautiful and waves on par with some of the best waves I had surfed so far in my life...

Great surf at Frigates and awsome experience overall
Surfed Frigates with Waidroka a while ago and had some of the best waves of my life together with pipe and Serua , the right hander which worked one day. We stayed at Waidroka for 5 nights and it was myself and 2 other surfers and we had a blast. There where some other surfers and divers at the resort and the atmosphjere was great. The food and hospitality where the best we ever had and we felt truely at home. Pipe is a challenge when big and Frigates was just the best wave ever. We where truely stoked and will be back...

Stop the badmouthing...
We are all not interested in all this bad mouthing, but rather want to find out about waves and experiences. I myself have stayed at Waidroka and Batiluva on my last stay and found both great value and surf. Waidroka did have an advantage of having a variety of surf breaks and some right handers, as well as if there was no surf was very close to many excursions on the main island, as well as had better amenities. Batiluva was more remote and secluded. As to this new resort I only heard bad stuff about it from the Fijians, which I tend to believe, however everyone to their own true experiences - let's keep this forum clean from trash or resort owners trying to promote their own resort by giving resort websites or saying go there...

Matanivusi a Ripp-Off !!! STAY AWAY!
Stayed at Matanivusi and the laid-back owner Donna was an absolute nightmare. I was totally on my own the food was average and the resort was very expensive. I couldn't go to Frigates and the local breaks advertised where all not working (never!). The only break they took me to was Pipe, which was surfed by another resort - Waidroka, which seemed to have many guests and they where surfing all over (including Frigates). In my view the resort is remote, expensive and the owners are not accommodating at all but rather difficult and money oriented. Finally when speaking to the locals Matanivusi was not liked at all and they seemed to have many issues with the various villages around due to all sorts of money promises. I will not return or go there again and was actually very disappointed with the whole experience.

Matanivusi
Just did a stint on the coral coast found it quite hard to get in quality surf time because of a few factors.most operators wont go out unless you have acrew 4 plus.the last 4 days I found matanivusi eco resort and everthing is at your doorstep hasle free value for money and the owner is surfing with you even if your on your own.Cant go wrong.I met a lot of surfers on the flight back home who didnt even get in the water. surfingfiji.com

Alternative Surf resort on Coral Coast
There is a new surf / eco resort opened on Coral Coast Fiji called Matanivusi Surf Resort Fiji see http://www.surfingfiji.com/
This is run by a couple of Aussies which while laid back is really nice place to stay has fantastic pool overlooking the lagoon & has great Surf on the local reefs. They also goo out to Frigate which Brian the owner has been surfing for over 10 years so knows like the place really well. Worth checking out for a place to take teh lady & have great surf. Cheers Pearso

Frigates in May...
Just stayed at Waidroka for a week and had a couple of incredible days at Frigates. What a great wave - 4-6 and barrels...! Also surfed Pipe on a couple of glassy and smaller days and it was fantastic. Waidroka is a great hangout and good value for money. Seems like there where a lot of changes recently and the resort was a great experience. We came there from Tavarua and Waidroka suited us better. Tavarua was much more crowded on the waves and more of a party atmosphere, whilst Waidroka was simply great, relaxing and fun. The owners are really nice and we had a great time there....
