Summer is almost over - it is coming down to the last days of summer for Rapa Nui but the season has been average with some good solid days. Spots Like Tahai got an incredible run of two weeks of perfect surf. Mataveri few but most of the days it was perfect offshore for Hanga Raoa Bay. Waiting for the bigger south swell for the south shore.
