Surf

A wave is a miracle of nature.  The ability to enjoy one is not unique to humans but is shared by dolphins, seals, birds and other creatures.  What began as an ancient sport to the Hawaiians has become an international phenomenon.  The industry is a multibillion dollar one stretching from clothing, to movies to television.  In the old days, Surfers used to be clannish and there weren’t many of them.  When they passed each other driving opposite ways with surfboards on the top of their cars they would stop and chat and discuss where they had been surfing and how it was.  In most coastlines of the world today, the numbers of surfers have made the lineups so packed, surfers have to fight over waves and the scene that surfing has become has changed it from what is was. 

Today the search has begun for serious surfers to find the next great undiscovered spot.   The more remote the place surfers go looking, the better their chances are of finding great waves with no one on them—a true rarity in this day and age. 

The discovery potential and surf spots accessible from Narewa are amazing.  The spots in front of the resort are north facing and open to swells from the whole northern hemisphere.  They are seven miles out and can be viewed from the villa sites with binoculars.  The surf season for these spots is November through April and they break and are able to be surfed from 2 feet on up.  Narewa Club recently hosted Rob Machado, Pat O'Connell, Ross Williams and Tom Servais and the article showcasing their trip and the surf can be seen in the May 2005 issue of Surfer Magazine.  Many of the surf photos on this site are thanks to Tom Servais.

The most amazing thing about the area is what a huge uncharted playground is within reach.  The resort boat will be able to have you on the surf spots in ten minutes or in an hour can be on another side of the huge island.  Part of the uniqueness will be the search and discovery of new and exciting spots.  Just in twin passage when there is swell there are four rideable waves.  This means that different boats will go to different areas and guests will come back together at the end of the day to relax, relive and talk about their different adventures.  It would be like if those olden day surfers meeting on the road from different directions could stop where they were, relax, enjoy some good food or a drink and talk at length without having to continue on to drive home.
