Low Impact Surf Tours are offering surf missions to the outer islands of Tonga in June and July 2010.
Tours include a fast boat (with local skipper) capable of reaching the breaks of the Vavau group, all fuel, relaxed simple island accommodation and expert forecasting to optimism surf missions for each day of the trip.
Director James Frazerhurst is an oceanographer who (as part of his ?day? job with ASR Ltd) surveyed, modeled and explored this area. "The Vavau project was one of the most fun jobs to have come across my desk, mostly because it involved tropical barrels! We numerically modeled the islands of the Tongatapu, Nomuka, Haapai, and Vavau groups, and then narrowed our investigation to the Vavau group.
During a 10 day field trip we found a bunch of good to excellent waves that can handle a variety of wind and swell directions, including the infamous trades of the South Pacific. I returned this year and again got great waves and organized with local operators to do surf missions for June and July 2010"
One week Dawn to Dusk surf missions $NZD 1250, not including flights or food. Limited to six surfers each week.
