Bali or South Pacific (location currently under negotiations)

Bali

The Surf Overview: Bali is a surf paradise with an unfathomable array of surf to choose from within a 1 hour drive.  Local conditions will set the approach for each day but there is generally something for everyone.  Beginners can take lessons at Kuta and Legion Beaches, and the advanced surfers can experience dropping down through the legendary cave at Uluwatu or any on the long list of perfect left breaks on that stretch of the Bukit Peninsula.  Regular foot surfers will be in heaven with the amazing breaks on the southeast side of the island between Nusa Dua and Keramas.  It’s also a short boat trip to get into some famed breaks such as Nusa Lembongan and the famous G Land.  

Non Surf Activities:  Resort golf courses, fishing, diving, shopping (e.g. the beautiful & unique furniture in Seminyak) and art & cultural tours (e.g. Ubud’s working artist community and the famous Kecuk performance at the Uluwatu temple).  

Cultural Notes: Bali has a large population of 3.2M, but the local areas of the Bukit Peninsula and Canggu are small village atmospheres with several thousand residents who farm, fish or work within the smaller tourist resorts.  Bali is primarily a moderate Hindu community with a small Muslim minority. English is predominant for all local interaction.  Religious etiquette should be followed when visiting temples or for annual holidays that require even foreigners to adhere to their traditions (e.g. you must remain indoors during Nyepi - Lunar New Year - even if the surf is up!) 

Fiji

The Surf Overview: Fiji's prime season is March through to October with great long period South Pacific swells pushing into the islands like clockwork.  November to February is less reliable for large surf but there is plenty of smaller surf to be had.  

Non Surf Activities:  Several great golf courses are in Nadi and Pacific Harbor, and fishing & diving rival the quality of surf.  Waverider'a proposed locations are near small authentic villages that offer the opportunity to see the real Fiji and embrace the warmth of these amazing people.  Shopping is limited to Nadi other than small collectibles sold by the villagers.

Cultural Notes: English is widely spoken by all locals and the peaceful nature of the Fijians truly represents the soul of the South Pacific lifestyle.  Village visits are highly recommended, with visitor etiquette being essential for the impression of Member-Owners visiting in years to come.  In some cases a village chief may want to spend time with you.  Additionally, the traditional dance and Kava ceremony held by villages is common at village resorts - if you are offered a drink of Kava or asked to dance, be sure to join in.  Kava is an acquired taste and may make your mouth a bit numb, but you’ll be no worse for wear.
