Namotu Fisherman Kane on the last wave of this board's life!

Evidently this fellow got skunked on his last trip to Fiji.  No waves.  Not the case this time. He's a happy camper.

As always and big vinaka to Stu and Malia of Fijisurfco for coming up with such great…

This blog series started with a review of the Academy Award nominated Kon Tiki movie which I saw recently at the Hawaii International Film Festival Spring Showcase.

My interest in seeing the film  not only revolved around the epic Kon Tiki story.

For obvious reasons, I normally adhere to Fijiguide.com’s policy of only discussing Fiji themes.
