South Pacific holiday

I'm writing this anti-climactic post due to popular demand.

Mid last year I went on a three week to visit my brother, and to hopefully get some waves on the way. My brother lives on an island in the South Pacific.

The reason why I'm being cagey about where he lives, is because his island still enjoys uncrowded surfing. And I want to do my bit to protect that...

Anyway, our friends have been asking me for some photos to show what the surf was like. Some still ask me today. To be honest, I only got one day of good swell, and a bunch of days of smallish to small swell. To add to that, I only took one blurry photo of the waves for the whole trip!

So, due to popular demand, here is the one photo I took of one of the breaks I surfed when visiting my brother (I've included two more photos below this one to give you a bit more of a feel for the surfing part of my visit):

Sorry readers: this is the only photo of the waves I've got...

I lost the fight with the reef on this day.

We did some searching for waves amongst the islands of the archipelago - all aboard our trusty boat 'French Fry'.

Don't get me wrong though, I had a great time away visiting my bro - just not a whole stack of waves. Not to worry.
