Fiji Surf’s Paddle Board at the Shnagri-La

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 resortwe 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 Belle on the paddle board she’s a natural little wave coming in  in control Jacqui will have a snorkel Jacqui checking out the local talent hehehe Stu and Belle love the roots of this tree Belle ducking under the low lying branches 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 🙂 Belle the surfie girl surfie mum 🙂 India’s turn what’s that underneath you India Snorky Belle ok, lets go hit the surf now girls
