Surfing at SaMoana There is a great diversity of wave types ranging form long point like breaks (Salamumu Point) to very powerful bowling waves (Coconuts) to a great imitation of Sunset (Tiavea). There are also some other mellow waves at places like Plum Pudding Rock and Solosolo.At Sa'Moana Resort our expert International guides are employed to assess conditions, offer advice to guests, observe guest surfing ability, and offer suggestions as to where to sit and take off etc. Above all surfers are NEVER left unsupervised, and if an accident was to occur emergency procedures are in place to react immediately, and gain urgent medical assistance. Our boats on a couple of occasions have had to assist stranded independent surfers stuck in currents on their long paddles back to land, and delivered them to back to safety. Also we've had to assist in towing some of the very unsuitable, broken down craft that some other operators use."Sa’Moana is well equipped to get you to the surf. A large part of our surf travel is by either of our 2 boats. We have a 34ft aluminium twin hull craft powered by twin 85hp Yamaha motors, while our 29ft fibreglass mono hull is equipped with twin 75hp Yamaha motors. Both boats have shade canopies, ladders, storage areas and also are rigged for some serious fishing. Land accessed surf spots are accessed by either our 8 seater 4WD Chevy Suburban or the 12 seater
Toyota
passenger van. On most days it’s approximately 1 hour from the resort, thru some great scenery, to the breaks however the rewards once in the water are worth it.. That is of course apart from the lefts and rights at Resorts, straight out in front of the resort, and Village Lefts about 2 minutes away by car or van.
