This powerful and consistent left-hand reef break draws surfers from all over the globe in search of the ultimate wave-riding experience.

The wave has a steep takeoff, which leads into a long and hollow barrel section, followed by a fast and steep inside section that can provide surfers with an exciting and exhilarating ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"history-of-cloudbreak\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"History_of_Cloudbreak\"><\/span>History of Cloudbreak<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The history of Cloudbreak is closely tied to the history of Tavarua Island. The island was once uninhabited, home only to a few birds and coconuts. In the 1980s, an American businessman named Dave Clark discovered the island and decided to build a resort there, which would cater to surfers who were looking for a more remote and exclusive experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/yeeew.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/AdobeStock_347366731-1-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yeeew.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/AdobeStock_347366731-1-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.yeeew.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/AdobeStock_347366731-1-800x533.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.yeeew.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/AdobeStock_347366731-1-1160x773.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.yeeew.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/AdobeStock_347366731-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.yeeew.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/AdobeStock_347366731-1-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.yeeew.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/AdobeStock_347366731-1-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.yeeew.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/AdobeStock_347366731-1-90x60.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.yeeew.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/AdobeStock_347366731-1-320x213.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.yeeew.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/AdobeStock_347366731-1-560x373.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.yeeew.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/AdobeStock_347366731-1-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Over time, the resort on Tavarua Island grew in popularity, and so did the surf break at Cloudbreak. In the early days, surfers would have to paddle out to the break from the island, which could take up to an hour. Today, surfers can be taken to the break by boat, making it much easier to access the waves at Cloudbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"owning-waves\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Owning_Waves\"><\/span>Owning Waves?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The ownership of Tavarua Island and the surrounding waters has been the subject of controversy in recent years.
