After the Billabong photoshoot with Anne-flore we had to wait 10 days before going to California for a trade show, first we wanted to stay in New Zealand to visit the country but finally we figure out that we better find a warm and exotic place instead. If you look at a map between NZ and California there is not too many oportunities. We picked out Fiji.
The first day we went surfing at the beach break at Sigatoka which was a bit too windy to be good. Later we went in Town for lunch and some locals surfer we met earlier led us the way to some nice waterfall where i had so much fun diving.
When we get back to our hotel we got a phone call from Andrew the Billabong team manager which was at Fiji as well but in an small island, he tried to convince us to join. After few minutes of deliberation he motivated us.
It’s how we get to the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen in my life, TAVARUA. Nothing else to say, just look at the pictures and you’ll understand what i mean. Bula!!!!
