October 25, 2010. Stu getting ready to photograph Cloudbreak from the water. Tavarua, Fiji – One of the best things about surfing is that it’s a free activity. Riding swells in the ocean costs nothing . No ski lifts, no access charges, no membership. But Fiji has operated a strange system of access rights to its reefs for the past few decades. You could only surf some of the area’s best waves if you stayed at the resort next to the reef. Colo I Suva photo album. October 24, 2010. October 23, 2010. The la...

Last days in Fiji. October 31, 2010. Tavarua, Fiji A quick clip from a jetski trip out to the reefs this afternoon. Cloudbreak was small and onshore, but we found some surf at a corner of reef called Desperations. Responses to “The life aquatic”. Feed for this Entry. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Coral Coast photo album. October 29, 2010. The view at breakfast. Coral Coast, Fiji – It doesn’t get much better than this. We’re staying at The Beach House. A fantastic backpacker resort on the Coral Coast. It has a white sand beach out the front, swaying coconut trees and tropical gardens. There’s only a handful of other guests about so we have the run of the place. We spend our days alternating between surfing the righthander out the front, laptop sessions and ping pong tournaments.

Last days in Fiji. November 23, 2010. The author, happy to be back in Australia. Perth, Western Australia A little over four years ago my girlfriend and I packed our backpacks with as much stuff as a we could carry and set out for an 18 month adventure. We aimed to spend four months travelling through south east Asia. Oh, and a year and a half in the UK afterward, to see a bit of Europe and earn some money. Cyclists massing in London, UK. I surfed isolated reefs where the only spectators were mistreated ...

Stockholm, Sweden, at midnight. Taking photos is one of my favourite activities while travelling. It motivates me to get up early for sunrises and to stick around for the sunsets. Sometimes I find it even takes me into hairy or uncomfortable situations I normally wouldn’t go to. Like central London on a Saturday night. My photos on the web. In addition to the photos on this blog, I use Flickr. To host larger photo galleries. If you’re looking to purchase images for commerical use, check out my Alamy.

October 30, 2010. Behind the markets in Nadi. Nadi, Fiji It’s hard to get a grasp on this town. It curls and fades and reappears like a ribbon of smoke through the landscape, without ever seeming to reveal its centre. It’s easier to picture Nadi as a long settlement that stretches from the airport to the north all the way down to the main street about 10 kilometres south, with villages, sugar cane fields and resorts lining Queen’s Road. At the opposite end, near the colourful Hindu temple is Tata’s...

Coral Coast photo album. Cruising the Coral Coast. October 27, 2010. There’s dozens of waves like this along the South Coast of Fiji. Coral Coast, Fiji – We’ve rented a car and taken a few days out to explore Fiji’s Coral Coast, the south facing coastline populated by resorts and traditional Fijian villages. They break out into big grins and waves as we putter past in our tiny hire car, two bearded Australians squeezed in beside surfboards and bags and camera equipment. Feed for this Entry.

Last days in Fiji. November 4, 2010. Sigatoka, Fiji I’m down on the south-facing Coral Coast again, spending my last few days in Fiji getting my fill of waves. I’ve surfed by myself three days in a row now. I don’t know where everybody else is. Probably out at Tavarua or Namotu or one of the other island resorts. The waves are undoubtedly better and longer there. Responses to “Last days in Fiji”. Feed for this Entry. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Address never made public). To rece...
