Located in Kadavu Passage, Fiji, Vunaniu is an excellent reef break that holds two right hand peaks. The first and outside one is called Shifties and breaks at size offering up a powerful pocket but quick drop off at the shoulder. Good for big cutbacks and carves. The inside peak called Jays is a full on shallow reef barrel, which needs a high tide to start working. The waves here can be challenging to surf and break for up to 100 meters over a coral reef.
