PNG Surf Report December<\/p>\n

Thanks Japan<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Following on from one of the best starts to a Japanese snow season<\/a> in many years, those same storms\u00a0dropping that silky white Japow<\/a>, brought Papua New Guinea<\/a>\u00a0epic new swell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Trip 2\u00a0started full swing, with conditions in the well over-head range, complemented by perfect offshore winds.<\/p>\n

However, larger swells usually bring heavier winds. The wind did come – and strong – so\u00a0we were faced with some pretty tricky situations. Wait it out, go for it, or check out a little wave that may have turned on. Turned out the gamble paid off! Thanks to the Skippers plan, we enjoyed surfing png<\/a> at a super fun beach break – adding a new wave to the list we visit on the PNG Explorer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We were back to normal after 2 days,\u00a0ending with great waves in the bread-and-butter zone.<\/p>\n

It’s fair to say everyone got their fair share of PNG\u00a0surf<\/a> stoke!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

PNG Surfaris<\/a> is\u00a0also proud to announce\u00a0the opening of the Ungalik Surf Club. Andrew Rigby and Chris Peel, in close consultation of the community, have been working on this project for the last two seasons, and the\u00a0generosity of guest donations\u00a0helped form the the club. The Unaglik Surf Club\u00a0is focused around surf etiquette, surf knowledge and environmental issues that the South Pacific faces. We look forward to seeing all these kids grow, not only as surfers, but as people who have a understanding of keeping our oceans clean and how surfing can be a positive force for the people of PNG<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
