Why surfers will have to pay to access Fiji’s world-class breaks | The World | ABC News
Surfers wanting to catch a wave in Fiji could soon have to pay for the privilege as the government moves to repeal a unique law that opened up access to the country’s world class reef breaks for tourists and locals alike. Foreign-owned resorts used to have exclusive access rights to famous waves like Cloudbreak, off Fiji’s Tavarua Island, so you had to be a paying guest to ride them. Fiji surfing pioneer Ian Ravouvou Muller told The World’s Girish Sawlani h welcomes the repeal and says he is looking forward to no longer feeling like a second-class citizen in his own country. #ABCTheWorld #ABCAsiaPacific
