Wingtip Wednesday | Fiji ✈️
Did you know...
Fiji is made up of 333 islands, scattered across an enormous 1.29 million square kilometres of ocean territory — more than twice the size of metropolitan France, but the islands themselves account for only around 18,000 square kilometres of land — meaning Fiji is overwhelmingly ocean rather than land.
And within all that ocean, there’s one small stretch of ocean and reef with seven very different surf breaks. Just off Fiji’s Mamanuca Islands, the Tavarua–Namotu surf zone is home to seven legendary waves — including Cloudbreak, Restaurants, Tavarua Rights, Swimming Pools, Namotu Lefts, Wilkes Passage and Desperations. 🌊🏄♂️
Within this small stretch, you’ll find lefts and rights, barreling waves and powerful reef breaks — with Cloudbreak capable of producing waves up to 20 feet (6 metres) when a major swell rolls through. 🤯
Wheels up and over the horizon. ✈️🌏
