I went to Fiji in May at the start of the windy season. You should be still ok in September. I went to Sailboarding Safaris top of the main island. Warren was instructing and I had a ball. Learnt heaps. Gear was ordinary then but I think he has just scored a JP Australia or NP Test centre status so should be a great place to try out new equipment.

If the current political crisis there doesn't improve I'd be staying well away!

we go the last 2 weeks of August and this year I'm taking the F2 Missile to attack the outer reef speed run. looking for a Nautical mile time.

Hi

The current political issues are reasonably simple in their underlying issues....it is merely due process the recent political manouvering...so i'm not worried at all!

We had 40 guests over Easter and they certainly had no problems, and i am not expecting any issues involving Tourists in Fiji....the locals are just too lovely!!

We have great winds and warm waters....lovely for a winter splash.....and now we have fantastic equipment for guesta to ride!!! Even more fun!

Tony had beetter watch out in August, cos i'll have had a few months on the new gear so will be highly tuned when he comes....and the GPS Speed team assault of the Fiji Reef is due to take place......bring it on!@

See you...

Hi Ian

Yes that is exactly the reef in question. Tony from Ralin at Bendigo is again coming back to Fiji with Windsurfers the last two weeks of August and first two weeks of September.

I took Tony up there last year in one of our boats and i chased him down the run in one of my support boats! It was realy fun, except his waterproof camera bag wasn't so waterproof as he discovered later as he wanted to film the run....

He now has a GPS and wants to do a GPS run down the reef which is a perfect bear away. We did about 2 nautical miles with Tony..it was an awesome run!!

Keen to do it again...and i think JP are releasing a new speed board, so i cant wait to burn it up....

All the new 2010 Neil Pryde / JP Australia gear will be opened at the FIJI PRO Center we are opening on June 20th. I can't wait.....and i am sure clients wanting quality rental gear will also appreciate the new additions to Safari Lodge.

The wind cranks in FIJI right through to October and November so SEPT has been great in past years.......ring your GPS and lets all have fun!

Hi Guys

I was up in Fiji last weekend, checking out some other stuff and managed to get out on a boat to check out the proposed August Speed Course sessions...

Tony is right at about 120 degrees....and the Photo Ian posted is dead acurate.

Tony will need a little further run-up as the old formula Force = Mass X Accelleration means he wil need a little more run up to overcome his inertia. I think he may be right at 2 nautical miles......I'll wait for him at the 1 mile flag.....

It will be a fun time....

Regardless, we are looking forward to a great windy season...warm water...

I've never been there actually but I guess its not the best time to go!.. These past few days the weather has been changing a lot..
