Introduction on surfing in Fiji: "Viti Levu, the main island of
Fiji has many surrounding reefs with worldclass surf, Odffcourse
there is the expensive resort of Tavarua with breaks like Cloudbreak
and Restarants, but also for the less fortunate people there's other
breaks that rival in quality. With 300+ islands there's still enough
breaks that have not been discoverd, you'll need a good boat, maps,
and time to cover all of them though. Not many surf spots for
beginners, some for intermediates, but most require a good level of
surfing."
