Fanning Island Resort, one of the few places left in the world where your problems include: picking the right wave from the set that’s approaching you sitting solo in feathered offshore conditions, choosing what uncrowded break to surf daily, and whether to enjoy the sunset with a cold beverage or in the water with your favourite board…

Whaler’s Left & Right, Runner’s Right, plus Fanning Left & Right have all been producing delicious conditions and teasing our aquatic appetites, providing a gourmet surf menu for us to browse daily. We’ve got to choose from an entree of 2-4ft Fanning Left or Runner’s Right handers, a sizeable main course meal dished up at Whalers’ and finally a light dessert at dusk at Fanning Right on the high tide with a sweet side of sunset.

Coming back through the postcard worthy lagoon each day in our boats is a pleasant vision with a spectrum of tropical blues and greens spending through the various depths of the warm Central Pacific Ocean. It’s a tough life here in paradise!
