Ao o le ao used to be only accessible by surfers staying on the locally located Tavarua island Surf Resort however has been opened up and is now accessible by anyone who has access to a boat in Fiji. This wave offer the opportunity to get the barrel of a lifetime and whilst footage out there suggests flawless barrels this wave can be a tricky beast to master. The wave often sections keeping the likes of Kelly Slater on their toes. The outside section at the top of the reef can hold some serious size and allows for some steep roll-ins leading into a big wall of water which invites a well planned speed turn. From here you’re led into Middles which where things start to get hollow. Speed is your friend here and you’ll travel quickly through sections of the throwing lip travelling a large distance in very little time. Insides or Shish-kobabs is where it gets super shallow and super hollow with the wave breaking as wide as it is high. This wave is for advanced and more competent surfers and less competent surfers will not find any reprieve from the intensity of the wave on the end section as can normally be expected on most waves. If anything Shish-Kebabs is the most intense part of the wave. The three sections don’t often link up but when they do on large South South West (SSW) swells and Southeast winds this wave truly becomes the South Pacific’s jewel, flawless top to bottom barrels can be ridden from take off to kick out. The only limit is you!
