Dave at Sigatoka
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.
But I’m content with my little righthander. It’s only 30 or 40 metres long, but within that is a tubing section and then enough wave for an off the top and maybe a cutback.
For something different I drove out to the river plain at Sigatoka to surf with Dave. It’s a little more forgiving here with the wave breaking over a sand bottom beside the river mouth. But the murky water, strong currents and regular shark sightings mean its a different kind of risk.
