Surfing

March 23, 2009

The Royal Suva Yacht Club surfing members have the unique surfing spot on entry to the Suva Harbour, as it is only a five-minute boat ride for some from the club.  As this is easily accessible there is regular traffic with surfers and their boards early hours of the morning, during the day or late afternoons (depending on the tide) rushing off with friends to ride that elusive wave.

There are regular competitions held nationally and have had some of our members surf competitively internationally as well.

A warning to the surfing enthusiasts, since the introduction of the “Qoliqoli Bill”, which is yet to be passed by parliament, the surf spot mentioned above and “Rats Tail” passage have been met with hostility by the villages along the coast line.  Please be cautious and that safety is in numbers.
