Ever Been surfing in Papua New Guinea?

Recently, a bunch of guys and I took a trip to the wilds of PNG to investigate the untouched waves of the new world. !!
After leaving Brisbane 4 hours late to Port Moresby, we were forced to spend the night in one of the most dangerous cities in the world behind iron gates.
Eventually, the next day we headed to our destination after another short flight and 3 hour ride in the back of a truck with our boards over a very rough asphalt road to Tupira Surf Lodge on the North East Coast of PNG.

Here we were treated to a reef break directly in front of our accomodation which we surfed every hour possible in 28 degree C water. The locals joined us and added to the experience and the break never had more than half a dozen people on the break.
There are a number of different reef breaks to access along this coast line, one in the shadow of an active volcano.

The experience of surfing in this country is enhanced by the friendly locals who lack the normal amenities that most developed countries take for granted. Power was only available 4-5 hours during the day, which made the humid and stifling night times difficult for sleeping without a fan or a/c. The locals did not work and tended to their farms on a daily basis and education facilities were mostly dirt floor rooms with some basic furniture and a roof and thin bamboo walls.

The surfing foundation in PNG has been founded to provide a steady source of income for the impoverished people by allowing tourist to surf their breaks and provide accomodation and food for visitors.
