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

Cloudbreak Shangri-La
On April 6th Cloudbreak witnessed a 6 foot, 16 second swell. Those who were there called it "the beast 666." No, it wasn’t an apparition from the depths--on the contrary it was more Shangri-La at Fiji’s most famous wave.
Fresh off the boat (after a brief respite in Hawaii) Stu Johnson was back plying the waterway between Viti Levu and the reef at…

On Fiji Islands -- Suva -- Chapter 4.40

Fiji Islands Surf Series: Back to Wilkes!
The weather can change in an instant and the Fijisurfco gang is constantly vigilant. In this series from the archives they were riding out in calm conditions. All of a sudden, the sky soon darkened and, after hanging around a pod of dolphins the sky open and poured on the Fiji Surf crew.
No, worries. Predictably, as quickly as they came, the gray clouds vanished and the sun came out.
The wind died and…
