Same Time Last Year

Not much to report on the wave front here. Made me think about my trip last year to Fiji. Here's a couple of shots of rides I remember clearly. Seems like it was eons ago. If you should ever have a chance to visit this island chain - do it. Ideal setting, crystal clear water, good fun and great people and culture. CM~

Murphy 7'-6" thruster going right.


Murphy 9'-0" going left......forever and ever...........

Summer Solstice

The first day of summer. It comes with mixed emotions. Warmer water, sunnier days, trunks, vests and bikinis. vs. loads of tourists on the beach and folks clogging up the local spots. Not our best season here in SD for surfing, it will however provide for some fun sessions. Here's hoping this summer's show is more significant than last summers weak offerings. Summer time also brings visions of adventure and the possible reality of a surf trip and vacation. Think warm water, south swells and open line-ups with your friends. Lako! Vamanos! Aloha!........

Viti Levu

South Seas Paradise........ Chris Miller has recently returned from yet another jaunt to the Southern Hemisphere and the Fijian Islands. While recovering from jet lag and societal shock, he was able to send us a few photos. He promises to send more upon his full recovery.

Real weather, real rain and really nice.

Murphy 9.0 in Fiji

Chris Miller has been spending some quality time in Fiji with his Murphy quiver. Here is a shot he emailed me just before he took off for his second two week stay. He got a camera 3 days before the end of his last trip so this time he has promised to shoot plenty and send us shots. See the Foster Surf Adventures Blog for photos of him surfing.
