Upolu - I surfed Samoa may 2012 and had a good trip. for accomodation i would recommend a place in a village called Tafitoala (maybe mispelt) called 'Sine P.J. Fale'. The family who run it are real sweet. Neil is a good man too, he knows the island back to front. He has a boat and can sort you out a wave. I think he mostly hangs out at Coconuts

Petition to keep Western Samoa wave Accessable & Open for Guest & Locals (No Private Waves!!) - http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/samoa-surfing-access-petition/
Check out this link, and sign the petition for Western Samoa if you agree that waves should not be private, and should be accessible for everyone.
