The past three years have seen Exo, with Andrew at the helm, carry 260 guests safely around the islands of New Ireland. Prior to the tourism charters, the duo were well known from trading around the islands. It was during this time that Andrew began to surf the waves. With every surf the locals amazed as Andrew rode the \u201csi brukim\u201d (breaking sea) standing on foam and fibreglass. This was obvious by the crowds that gathered to watch, and metered by their reaction as he disappeared into the wave and charged out the other end. That was their first \u2018barrel\u2019 on this island and Andrews\u2019 right to name the break.<\/p>\nThree years of surf charter operations have enabled PNG Surfaris to document the consistency of the waves, and discover many more. They were the first to do this in many of the islands, and are keen to share this place with other surfers; whilst up-keeping the relative secrecy of what is one of the world\u2019s last untapped surfing resources.<\/p>\n
The surfing season in New Ireland Province is a relatively short season from October to April.<\/strong> This is taking advantage of the Northern Hemisphere swells coming from the northwest to northeast directions. During this period the wind is predominately from the N\/NW. The surf generally ranges from 3-4ft; bigger swells see it at 5-6ft.<\/p>\nSurf Management Plans<\/strong> <\/strong>– The Niu Ailan Surfriders Alliance (NASA) is an affiliated member of the Surfing Association of PNG. The PNG Surf Management Plan structure, and in particular the Niu Ailan Surfriders Alliance Management Plans have been specifically developed with the primary goal of limiting surfer numbers, and limiting exploitation so that the PNG surf experience remains unique and memorable for those fortunate enough to experience it.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"by Peter Curilla Most surfers have heard of Papua New Guinea (video) as a surf destination and many have experienced the pristine surf conditions of this wild country.
