Longboarder's Paradise - Namotu Left is a world class reef break that’s more forgiving than its fearsome, more famous neighbor Cloudbreak. At 15 foot it can be the thrill of a lifetime and at 6 foot, a longboarder’s paradise.

Is a helmet advised for surfing Namotu? - I am a good surfer with a lot of experience, but I don't surf often anymore as I live in Utah! I tend to do a lot of late take offs due to weak arm muscles and get "pitched" occasionally on radical waves. Should I bring a helmet to Namotu? Your comments and suggestions would be most appreciated.

surf lefts even when not at resort - Resort guests of Namotu Is get exclusive surf rights to the break. Saturdays the guest change over. You'll need a fijian with a bit of pull to get in touch with them and see if they can hook you up for a saturday session... when you surfed wilkes all week, it was good to get onto the lefts.

Namotu - Let me say up front that I am an over 40 longboarder. I am getting ready to go back to Naomtu for the third time. I love this place.The surf is like anywhere else: it has good days and bad days. I've ridden Namotu lefts up to about 10' and it was incredible, not as radical as Tavarua, which I wish I could surf, but it's just a little much for me now. Swimming Pools is the right break and it is usually about 2/3 the size of the Lefts on any given day, but it's a faster and more intense wave, and a bit shallower. The only surfers out are the guests on the island. It is awesome.

Rail to Rail - anyone seen rail to rail? In that movie, Namotu was an island, and the break was left and right.

- namotu lefts is a sweet wave, worth more than three stars for sure. it would have to be the fourth-best wave in fiji after Cloudbreak, Restaurants and Frigates. definitely worth four stars. if it wasn't such a close distance to tavarua, if it was somewhere else in fiji, people would flock there.
