namotu

June 25, 2017

Here I am at Cloudbreak.  What is Cloudbreak?  A surf spot in Fiji near Namotu.

What is Fiji?  Fiji is a collection of 333 tropical islands in the South Pacific.

What is Namotu?  One of the Fijian islands and a vacation I enjoyed in 2013.  Look how small it is.  You can walk around the entire thing in about 10 minutes.

 

What do you do there?  A few times a year, Ben Wilson has a kite surf camp.  No, I am not a kite surfer, and I found other things to enjoy here.  It's kind of like camp.  Several small houses/cabins of people who love the beach and surfing.  Family dinner every night-we all eat together.  Activities such as surfing, kite surfing, snorkeling, scuba, heading to another island for a hike, booze cruise, paddle boarding, reading, napping.  One day when there was zero wind, we got creative and used kite boards as wake boards.  I learned for the first time!

Some beautiful photos of a beautiful place.  Some of the photos by yours truly, some by a professional surf photographer,  Joli Wilson.  This place is not for everyone.  If you don't like water activities, you may go a little stir crazy because the island is really small.  If you love water activities, you will love it!
