G'day all, I have a group of mates who all surf together on the Gold Coast, we are planning a surf trip away next year in July and Samoa is on the radar, can anyone give us any advise on SUP in Samoa. At that a time of the year someone suggested Samoa can be very fickle and the trade winds can be a problem. There will be around 8 off us, we are mainly lonboarders & SUP so not looking for anything to heavy, but I guess the idea of less of a crowd was looking more appealing than say Bali, would appreciate any thoughts on Samoa or any other destinations that could be suggested for a cruisey surf trip

Hi Mark finally got the link to this place www.papatura.com/ in Somoa. It was set up in 2007 by the Gold Coast Blanche brothers. It's been on my bucket list for years. They have shown me some photos of the early years of the set up, the place looks sick. Definitely worth a look.

Here is a video of Jamie Mitchell ripping it up at Papatura Island.....

Thanks Rob, got your email cheers mate
