Tomorrow, Friday, July 8, 2010 all surf breaks in Fiji become a free-for-all, according to a decree by Fiji’s Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum and quoted on Radio Fiji.
Fiji Surfing Association President John Philip has welcomed the implementation of the Decree Philip says tourists will now be able to surf freely in Fiji and local villages will benefit the most. . . . “It’s fantastic news! It’s very positive for the development of surfing in Fiji and especially tourism. It’s great for the people of Fiji – the beach users and anyone who feels they got ownership in our beaches and clean oceans. As I’ve said the biggest benefit is going to the rural areas – it will create employment for surfing related industries.”
Now every boat owner in Fiji can run people out to Cloudbreak and Restaurants. Epic. Finally, Fiji’s best waves will be as open, and hassle-free as Hawaii . . . cough, cough, cough.
