The girls on the back of Ian's new super dooper jet ski. He got it just for settign up his new venture at the Shangri-La hotel and it is an impressive looking machine, anyway

the girls loving the ride across Cuvu harbour to go for a paddle board session around the Island just off Shangri-La's resort

we get a ride across on the fast boat :-)

The Island, just navigating to see if our boat can make it across the sand bar up the river

check the smiles on the girls :-)

yep, let's do it

when we get there, Ian plays ferry taxi service for the locals

:-)

follow the leader, Malia leads the girls. And the girls still looking pretty Aussie winter white, first proper day out in the sun, so poor things got so sun burnt today. Lesson learnt, put sunblock on a good 20min before you go out in the water, otherwise most of it just washes off, needs to soak in

got to love that clear water

having fun

ok

here we go

Stu and Belle

India's turn

also a master at this after a quick 2 minute lesson. Does not take long to get the hang of it with these Bili Bili boards, girls are having so much fun exploring, and in these crystal clear waters as well

Evan's turn

While the girls paddle around and do some more exploring, Ian and I do some more important exploring :-) The left hand reef break a bit further out of the Island

nice little bowling inside section

strong current though and the wind is a bit too strong coming across it, but there is definitely potential to surf this left

back on the Island and checking out one of the isolated beaches

no one else on the beach but us

dive in

cool spot

Belle checking out the bearded cave man

while Evan works on his sunburn

Plan to surf around the corner on this little wave, so some paddle lessons on the soft boards

Evan still working on getting burnt :-)
