Question,
What would be the best island to stay at close to the surf? location to stay at a starting point for surfing?
Answer
The islands of southern Vavau have a number of places to stay , but they are rather expensive for what you get and none have quality surf in walking /paddling distance (except perhaps over at blue lagoon, good from afar http://www.lowimpactsurftours.com/google-earth-0 ). You will need a boat to make the most of vavau BUT the waves are a not good moorings for yachts etc. so what I have done in the past is camp on Ovaka (no resorts here) and paddles to surf middles and then used local boats (of dubious safety) to surf M&Ms and other waves. Let me know what sort of budget and expectations you have and I can make suggestions accordingly.
